You adopted Sweet Olivia! If she needs obedience training, classes are a very good idea.
I think I remember that she isn't a puppy, perhaps a year or two old?
How did she get along with her foster mom's dogs?
If she just lacks socialization with other dogs, depending on how comfortable she is around other dogs, I'd suggest socializing her in the small dog area at DDRR.
I would take her there if she lacks confidence, but NOT if she is aggressive!
At first she may be shy, but it's quite amazing how quickly they start enjoying the interaction with other dogs.
The small dog area is for dogs under 30 lbs. If you take her when it's hot, dogs tend to be lethargic when it's hot, and it shouldn't be very busy.
Be sure to take her leash off! Dogs feel confined when they're leashed and tend to be more aggressive.
You got the cutest dog ever, and she ended up with a great mom.
Congratulations, and best of luck with the training.
