My dog is aggressive towards other dogs on walks. How to train him?

Question

I have a 15 month old German shepherd and akeda cross. He is not at all good with any other dogs. He is very aggressive and when he see one he barks and snarls and his ears go down and his tail is up and his fur is on end. I don’t know what to do it makes me have a hard time walking him and I worrr when I come near another dog. I’m scared and he probably senses that but I’m at a loss on what to do any ideas.

This is a case for a professional trainer. I suggest you work with a professional trainer or join a dog club where you can do obedience training with your dog and work on the aggression issues. You can also have your dog evaluated by a veterinary behaviorist who can help you with behavioral modification tips as well as medication if necessary. Here is where you can find a veterinary behavioral specialist: https://www.dacvb.org/search/custom.asp?id=4709
