Re: 5 month old puppy scared of other dogs
I'd say it's probably age related. I think you are doing all the right things to get her through it with more confidence on the other side. One of our dogs is a lot like your puppy ... she is now three years old and much more relaxed, but still not really confident with more than one new dog at a time.
We use lots of treats when we are out and about rewarding the positive behaviour. Sometimes it's just a matter of making the puppy look away from the "scary" thing, having a treat before trying again.
I don't have any experience with C. K. C. Spaniels - all my experience is with high energy border collie/kelpie breeds.
HTH some. Love to hear how she goes.
