This isn't aggressive behaviour it is a sign that other dogs make your dog uncomfortable. Its defensive/fearful behaviour. Look into going to see a behaviourist that will do desensitization training with your dog. In the meantime to help with the behaviour every time your dog sees another dog and reacts like this give her a treat. This creates a positive reaction every time she sees a dog. Eventually she will look forward to seeing another dog b/c she knows she will get a treat. In works best if you use a "special" treat like a piece of cheese, carrot or meat.

Add: Please do NOT do what the person below me said about pushing your dog to the floor and making them be submissive this is very dangerous to do! And it can result in your dog biting you.
