RE: question about labs
Yikes,
I hate to say it but, you are probably stuck with the problem. i am still working with my 9 year old dog. She is much better, but she has hated other female dogs that are near me since she was a pup. She sets up a 20 foot perimiter and no female dogs can come in. She is tolderable now, but I think she is just wating for may back to be turned. Keep correcting your dog, perhaps you can get him to controll his reactions. By chance is he under a year? If so you may have hope.

RE: question about labs
There is still hope... If you know someone with a kennel (the more dogs the better) you can put him in a run right next to another dog. Heck, one on each side of him would probably be better. You basically have to desensitize him to the situation. Put a bark collar on him when he is in the run next to the other dog(s). This way when he gets worked up and starts growling/barking, he gets a correction. Leave them side by side for at least two weeks. Only get him out for excercise, training, and play time. Make him eat, sleep and live next to the other dogs. Then get 'em both out on lead and see how he does. I think you'll be surprised.
