[quote=Anonymous]I was once attacked in a friend's kitchen by her poorly-trained dog who entered the kitchen, didn't recognize me, and came at me with 80 lbs of muscle and teeth bared. It was really scary.

I would not go to the home of someone with a poorly trained dog and a history of attacks, and I'd be up front about my reasons why even if they were sensitive. You don't have to make it an accusation or a criticism. Just tell the friend you don't feel comfortable around the dog and ask if the event could be moved to a place without a dog. You don't even have to make it about this specific dog.

She might offer to lock the dog up or keep it outside during the party, and you can decide for yourself if that's an acceptable solution. I'd actually be a bit worried about this being unkind to the dog (it's not his fault his owner has failed to properly socialize him), or I'd worry that the dog would whine and cry and then halfway through the evening she'd let him come hang out and then you're in a real pickle. So I'd ask to move the location.

BTW, she probably wants to host specifically because her dog is untrained and she's afraid to leave him alone for any length of time.[/quote]
