maltese terrier

Question
Hi
wonder if you can advise me.
I have recently  bought a little maltese from someone that didnt have time to look after her properly.
She came to me un house trained etc, anyway she is now clean but the main prob is when I take her for a walk. As soon as she sees another person either walking a dog, or alone she just rears up on her hind legs and almost drags me towards them she also seems to be a bit aggressive towards male dogs.
I already love her lots but the walking is a real problem, can you help?.
Regards Hazel

HELLO HAZEL
TEACH HER THE SIT POSITION OR COMMAND, ALSO TO STAY, USE HAND SIGNALS TO FOLLOW THE VOICE.
WHEN YOUR OUT WALKING AND SHE STARTS THIS NONSENSE, PUT HER IN SIT AND STAND THERE FIRMLY AND MEAN IT.  PUT YOUR HAND DOWN OVER HER FACE TO STAY IN SIT COMMAND.  THIS MIGHT TAKE SOME DOING AND PATIENCE AS THIS POOR DOG HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY NEGLECTED AND TAUGHT NOTHING AT ALL.  POOR THING?
TAKE HER ALL OVER WHILE WALKING AND EACH TIME SHE STARTS TO GO FOR SOMEBODY, USE THE SIT COMMAND AND DO NOT MOVE ONLY ONE STEP AT A TIME, THEN PET AND PRAISE FOR DOGS WILL DO ANYTHNG FOR A HUG.  ONCE TRAINED THAT IT.  DOGS LOVE TO PLEASE THE ONE THEY BOND TO, BUT THEY ALSO NEED TO LEARN RIGHT FROM WRONG AND THIS DOG HAS LEARNED NOTHING, SO DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED ABOUT THIS FOR IT IS NOT HER FAULT.

ALWAYS BE POSITIVE IN TRAINING HER, NEVER NEGATIVE.  TAKE TIME AND TRY AND THINK LIKE A DOG, YES, SOUNDS STUPID, BUT I DO AND THAT IS WHY I CAN RUN A PACK OF DOGS TOGETHER IN FULL CONTROL.  I OFTEN SIT AND WATCH MY DOGS ALOT TO LEARN.  I ALSO WATCH MY BITCHES RAISE PUPS, HOW THEY CONTROL AND TEACH THEM WITH THEIR  MOUTHS OVER THEIR LITTLE NOSES TO TEACH NO NO.
HENCE, IF SHE DOES WRONG U CAN ALSO PINCH HER NOSE AND SAY NO NO.  OR GRAB A HUNK OF HAIR ON HER BACK, LIFT UP AND SHAKE IT AND SAY A LOUD FIRM NO NO.  SOON, SHE WILL LEARN RIGHT FROM WRONG WITH YOUR HELP, THEN ALWAYS PET AND PRAISE.
IN TIME SHE WILL DO ANYTHING SHE CAN THINK OF TO PLEASE U FOR A HUG AND PAT ON HE HEAD.
