<h2 id="uUdN">Start far away</h2>
<p id="vD6z">We sat on a park bench far from the dog path and gave treats each time a dog walked by.</p>
<h2 id="4pDA">Choose calm dogs</h2>
<p id="2AZV">Her first meetings were with our neighbor's older, gentle dog.</p>
<h2 id="ieWw">Keep it short</h2>
<p id="1dRI">Three seconds of sniffing, then we called her away for a treat.</p>
<h2 id="L2MQ">Ask the vet first</h2>
<p id="r9OV">We checked with our vet about her shots before any dog meetups.</p>
