I have a 5 month old staffy bull terrier and have been socializing her with other dogs since I've got her. However, I just realized this weekend that a lot of dogs are aggressive towards my puppy. She does her usual sniff around and would want to play, but other dogs will try and attack her or generally be aggressive. Like this weekend a full sized boxer (owners says shes always friendly) almost chomped my dogs head off..

I am afraid that this type of negative socialization will affect my dog's natural aggressiveness towards other dogs in the near future. I know most are teaching her how to say a proper Hello. She is a very stubborn and dominate dog mind you, so it seems like these warnings growls do nothing..and she keeps pushing it. Anyways, anyone shed some light?
