So does anyone know of a vet in NY ( 5 boroughs or a little beyond ) that knows how and do handle working dogs?
Thanks in adavance.

I don't know how a vet that deals with working dogs will do any different, they still have to touch the dog, and I'm sure muzzle her too since shes that reactive.
My vet asks that I muzzle mine since they do bitework, although they are social and have good temperaments. Not one has given them a problem, but staff feel more comfortable and I don't mind.

shes not bad; just a little different. I have read on forums where someone mentioned that Mambo z PS had to be approached the same way. let him do the approaching; no overt attempts to meet him.

A dog should never be out of control, a muzzle is fine, but she needs to behave - you are the handler.

I hope you find a solution that works!

I would continue working with a competent trainer to help her cope with her stress when being handled by strangers.
As I said above, as she is now, there is no way IMO to get around muzzle and tranqs.
