Poor Woody, It sounds like he may be fearful or defensive around strange dogs. Your best bet is to work with a certified dog trainer who utilizes positive reinforcement techniques. They will work diligently to slowly desensitize your dog to other dogs. In the meantime, a basket muzzle may be ideal for walks in areas with other dogs around just to prevent any altercations.
