I agree. I think a corrective "leave it" combined with a positive "look at me" is a good idea.
Stopping it before it hits a red zone is also a good idea.
Some years back I had this same problem with a Male APBT I owned. But, he was attacked by a older dog as a puppy, that was no ones fault but my mis-judgment and mistake handling.
Has this dog been given a reason to act this way around dogs? Does she do it when you are on walks too, or just at home?
Silly question I know, but could this be since you are on the 2nd floor and there is a wall and space between your dog and the other dog, is this a "I want to go play" (for lack of a better term) behavior?
The dog in your sig looks young, I was not sure if it is the same dog. That is why I ask.
But, all in all I think a correction and positive engagement and redirection is a good idea.
...Eating cats... Barking at strangers... Barking at cars... Barking at the wind... Licking kids' faces... Picking on the little dog... Stealing off the table... Stealing off the counter... Stealing out of the trash... So many applications... Lol

She does do it when we are out for walks, but I have been able to manage it through training and keeping a bit of distance. The barking on walks started after another dog lunged at her. At the time she didn't seem scared at all, but it must have had an effect.
This is definitely not a playful thing. Its a full on charge the railing and bark super scary routine. This morning a woman walking her puppy turned and ran away!
The sig pic is from when she was little, she's 16 months now. I need to take some new pictures

Oops......never mind everybody.
My bad.
I gotta start all over now.
lol..i'll bet you had something all ready to post didn't you?
16 months is also about the time some dogs go through a "look at me im going to try and fill out my big dog paws and show you how tough i can be" kind of stage. Testing their boundaries so to speak. Maybe not so much with you as with other dogs.

Yeah, same thing happened with my old puppy. When he got bit, it did not seem to bother him at all, but it did have a lasting effect, that showed up much later.
In the 8 weeks-8 months video around 30-40 minutes into the video Ed talks a bit about this.
Keep us posted and yeah I would like to see some new pictures! =D
