Hi Amber, both my males have issues with other dogs. Taking them to classes is the best way I've found to get them conditioned to be around other dogs and act polite.

Especially Cooper. He was a lunging, roaring idiot when his hormones hit at 10 months (prior to that he'd been sweet, and extremely well socialised, he came to work with me most of the time to all different situations.) PLUS he'd been in puppy K & all the beginning obedience classes! Anyhow, lots of classes and obedience training. Find a good, positive, class with an experienced trainer. I've seen quite a few dogs come in to where I go acting horrible at first, and gradually get much better.

But, I think you also have a problem with neighbors who let their dogs run around the neighborhood getting into other people's yards! Anything you can do to change that situation - and keep your dog safe, would be the best starting point.
