| I am assuming that Nash is the same Nash who is a 6 yer old rescue that fills your heart with Joy? How long have you had her? I also would ask what are the trainers trying to achieve with the tie out? What was her body language like when she was growling? Did she bring the hair up on her back? If so how far down her back was it? When she meets these other dogs you talk of her rubbing noses and nub, where does she place her head in reference to theirs? In what position are her front paws in (Does she hold them flat and with the weight on her heals, or is she up on her toes)? Where are her ears when she meets the other dogs?
Answer these and I will better be able to assist you. But for starters I will tell you that you should not have gone too her when she was grwoling at the GR. This is only re-enforcing the behavior and may have had a further influence on her later behavior.
