He's reactive, and also nervous - my friend accidentally dropped a bag right next to her and he bit her

Jasper would actually make quite a good dog for H and my friend to 'practise' on - unlike his early days, he's usually tolerant of other dogs, and would generally rather ignore them than rise to their challenge, plus he loves other sighthounds. And I can read him like a book so can spot if he might take exception to a particular one - we'd keep them on lead, and start out a LONG way apart, then build up very slowly. It would be lovely if we could eventually walk together side by side, but if it doesn't happen, that's fine.
The main problem I can see is that J loves my friend, so the moment he spots her he will be all excited and then agitated as we won't be able to go over to her, which isn't going to help H feel calm. Is there any possible way round this do you think, or will it make the plan a non-starter?
It might never happen - she's helping while H's owners have both had ops and doesn't know if they'll want to keep her on when they've recovered, and I'm still on crutches when out of the house and need someone to hold J's lead for me. It seems that when the surgeon fixed my knee he managed to tear my calf muscle in the process
