Mallory,
To be totally honest here (and stay on topic), a dog that is being trained for PPD (or really any dog for that matter) should not be taken to a BBQ and allowed to "run around".
If this were me,
1. I probably would have left my dog home.
2. If I did take the dog, it would have stayed in a crate in the vehicle and walked on lead by me if a potty break was needed after the other dogs had been put up or put on lead by someone who could control them.
I surely would not have even taken the dog out if there were other loose dogs (no matter the breed) out and about.
This is, IMHO, your friends mistake. Period.

I agree with Cameron - do some obedience with the dogs in the same area but dont let them interact. In this way my male Catahoula (who is dog "reactive") can function very well around strange dogs. In fact, on our 4th session he actually tried to initiate play with another dog (I didn't allow them to play, though).
If the other, strange, dog is trying to get into his space, that is what sets him off. So try and do some on-leash exercises with the dogs near each other but not close enough to allow interacting (15-20 feet or so is good, I think).
