Yes walking dogs side to outside of each other is a good one. One thing you dont want is for them to meet head on if possable this can sometimes trigger aggression. Some how they read each other's eyes and one wants to become dominate.
Watch for signs your dog may give off like the start of a growl. or a more playful emition such as tail wagging or a play stance were the front haunches are low to the groung whlie faceing the other dog.
It is not unusal for dogs to sniff each other's rear to get to know one another either.
We were at a dog pak once that had a great sign that explanned some of the sounds that the dogs may make when they first meet an as they play.
But remember it is you the responsable dog owner that must have control of your dog at ALL Times no exception to that rule. We have take our dog thru a number of training session with a local dog club we belonged to. Very informative and great training for both dog and owner.
Hope to find a simalr culb near the villages.
