She didn’t notice, no.
I think it was mainly the owners attitude that rattled Elle a bit. Sounds like he seemed to want her to think it was all her fault for not having Odie ‘under control’. If anything it might be a good experience for him - he’s Pretty confident so it might make him a little more cautious instead of just bowling up to all dogs he sees.

Did Elle notice whether the other dog had been neutered or not? Often happens when one of the dogs is still in tact. If male anyway.
Otto sometimes behaves like that so we keep a very close eye on him and lead him up when we sense he is going to cause trouble. He often growls or snaps at (warns) unneutered puppies that run up to him if we dont control the situation.
One thing to point out is that the dogs sorted it out without injury. Ultimately no harm done. Dogs rarely intend to hurt each other. It happens but what Elle experienced was the dog equivalent of handbags. Certainly shakes you up though.
