@niveuscurrus I personally would just give up on Scenario 2 ever improving; you're asking a lot of a dog that has a large personal space bubble.

As for scenario 1, I would keep at it. It sounds like it should be enough space for her to eventually remain comfortable/untriggered while other dogs pass by. You're also already succeeding with just verbal commands. She's a mix of a lot of "stubborn" breeds and ½ noise machine, so training her to remain quiet is probably always going to be a challenge.
