Susan,

I see what you are getting at, but in the situation you described, the Boxer was not fearful - but one to possibly be fearful of; and he was okay playing the bigger dogs, it was a matter of getting him to be able to play with the smaller dogs. And what a better match than a JRT. And your Lulu sounds like she can hold her own.

Hopefully Mabel will be on tonight, but I think Milo is fearful of all dogs based on what she has described and he did have those two negative experiences with the Rottie and the Pug. I am just going by everything Mabel has said(and what I can remember) and I am not sure how he would handle being in a room with a bunch of dogs off leash. If a trainer could work with Mabel her fiance and Milo first with some obedience, and then introduce Milo to a well mannered, non hyper small dog to begin with, it may be a start.
