I think you'd be better off teaching her to settle down and behave around other dogs without that kind of play. Thats not going to help find her a permanent home.

What Steve said!
The fact that she bites the other dogs hard enough to make them yelp should tell you it "WILL" escalate.
The bull breeds and play rough. When my brother had a Pit she could only play with a few of the other brothers and sisters dogs simply because they didn't have the same intensity of play.

This is a foster. None of this can continue in this dog, who needs a home.
Thanks all. She's calm around the dogs except when they're playing. Since she goes right to the biting (no play bowing, wrestling, etc.) I hate to let her get near a dog so I can redirect her. I've had other fosters that start out OK and then start to get too rough. This one has been more difficult since it happens right away.

To me John, I'd say she's not playing and that if you're thinking in terms of redirecting, I think you're too late. It would be better to use some distance to teach her to sit or something and then decrease the distance as she can relax with the other dogs. Maybe that distance will never be close enough for contact.

Scratch my post...that does not sound like playing rough, 2 years old is around when genetic dog aggression starts coming out....forget dog interaction and work on dog neutrality (no reaction to other dogs, strong OB)
