Basically it's a male ego type thing, dogs can smell testosterone from a good distance and some just go into what I call Saturday night mode. Normally the reasons obvious - they just want to stamp their right to any fruity girls in the vacinity - it's primevil so can be difficult to deal with. The more training you do on a daily basis the better; focus training, recall, all of it to the good, but you especially need to practise calming him down when he's stressing. Owners with entire males on a lead do so because their dog has a healthy ego so IMO recall, lead and casual avoidence seems the most sensible course of action. Those dogs aren't generally the one's from whom Pepe is going to learn positive reinforcement from anyway! Davey's an entire 6 year old male, was excellent around all dogs up until 2.5 years old culcumating in him feeling the need to exert his masculinity with big black entire male dogs - his autopilot reaction is to charge over, spar and unless the other dog immediate submits (pretty difficult for a dog 5 times Davey's size sometimes) - fight. My job is to block him going into autopilot. Do you take him to a training class, have a look into the one's locally and try and find one that uses positive reinforcement.
