With Lily we didn't take the risk of bad behaviour during an encounter. We would just ply her with treats and tell her she was a good girl as we walked by a small yappy dog. I think she started associating those encounters with positive emotions.

Thank you! I'm not very experienced with dogs (my partner is) and I'm still too much in my head instead of with the dog. I think I might be trying a bit too hard (or rather too often) to train him instead of just managing situations in a nice way if that makes sense.
