Try focus training. This is a positive method that works wonders for reactive or excitable dogs. . . of any age, size, or breed. I would recommend that instead of using treats for this, you set aside 1/2 to 1/3 of your dog's meals (if you feed him dry kibble) for training. This will prevent obesity and increase motivation. Read about focus here first: http://dogs-for-kids.blogspot.ca/2011/11/sit-down-stay-importance-of-reinforcing.htmlThen read this on how to train it: http://dogs-for-kids.blogspot.ca/2011/11/5-ways-to-train-focus-into-your-dog.html?zx=49d4c8aa21e8e3f4Every time you walk past a dog, distract your dog with these focus exercises. If he simply CAN'T hold eye contact at all in the beginning, just feed him a steady stream of kibbles from your waist pouch--just enough to keep him from thinking about the other dog. The important thing is to keep him from starting the reactive behaviour. When you walk past a dog, immediately start the focus exercises--if you wait until he is reacting (ex. barking, twitching, staring, lunging, etc.). If you are good at this, he won't even begin to start the bad behaviours, but if he does, "snap him out of it" with a quick, light leash correction toward you and then immediately begin to feed him kibble. It is important to realize that the other dogs are not the issue, and that by removing your dog/the other dog it will not solve the problem (actually, it will make it worse. . . ) Be VERY persistent and intense in your training--make a point of practicing often and in the same way every time. If you are persistent and consistent, as well as patient and firm, he will soon modify his reactive behaviour to looking up at YOU (not the other dog--who cares about the other dog?) instead for guidance, instruction, rewards and praise!Good luck:)
