Most of that reaction is coming from your reaction to the other dogs. You would be amazed at the difference in your dogs reaction to those same dogs he's acting out at. Best thing to keep both your minds off of it is to start teaching him some tricks and things to do when around other dogs. This will help you relax and will relax your dog.
