    Behavior problem – my dog barks aggressively at other dogs he sees while riding in the car. Someone offered a good suggestion to crate him so that is an option, but I would rather fix the problem of why he is doing this. He is not responding to verbal corrections.

    What does he do when he meets other dogs during a walk?

      If he is on a leash he lungs and barks. If he is off leash he is very happy and likes meeting other dogs. It is polar opposite.

    I would look at the recent lesson Robert did with the Akita. Once you have managed his behavior on the leash there is a good chance that will either transfer to the car or that he will be listening to you enough that you will be able to tell him to stop in the car when he begins barking. So, yeah, I would fix it on the leash first cuz you have more tools there. Good luck!
