Dog Cries Loudly When Seeing Other Dogs

Hello! I recently moved with my dog into an apartment complex. Previously, we lived in a house with a private backyard and had a roommate with a dog. My dog frequently ignored her so I assumed she wasn’t a huge fans of dogs (not aggressive behavior, just very independent). Upon moving into this complex and having to bring her outside to potty every day in a high traffic area, she began loudly excitedly crying when she sees other dogs outside, which is multiple times every potty break. I’ve lived here for six months and the behavior has not stopped. I have recently tried bringing her favorite treats down with us to distract her and bring her attention back to me, but she does not react to it. Her attention remains focused on the dog. I could out the treat right in front of her nose and she does not care. I even try to put distance between the other dogs and her, but she still eyes them down from far away. To clarify, she is not scared of the dogs at all. There have been a couple times that we have allowed her to greet, and she has tried to play. She is very social and friendly. I am hesitant to allow this every time as I do not always know the disposition of stranger’s dogs. Please help me! I am willing to put in the work to fix this, I just don’t know where to go from here.
