Take treats and toys with you on your walks, engage her, and redirect so your dog's attention is on you.
Position her so that she is beside, not behind you.
When you see dogs approaching, get her attention and give her treats so that approaching dogs will equal good things. Your goal is to pass by with her ignoring other dogs.
