I agree with the people who have told you that you should be working and rewarding good behaviour from the distance that the dog is comfortable.

Everytime you let your dog get into a frenzy you are reinforcing the aggression and strengthening the neural pathways for that reaction.

With my dog aggresive dog I found a trainer (and it took several) who really understood the problem and under her guidance we made a lot of progress. It took 12 months of work and you cant rush and the training is ongoing. Timing and distance is everything.

Eventually I was able to walk my dog past dogs going crazy from behind a fence, dogs passing within a metre on a lead and she even came to accept smaller dogs saying hello as long as they didnt get in her face. I would never entirely trust her, so management was ongoing but it became manageable.

The citronella collar was something I tried to start off with but it wasnt really solving the problem.
