Rescue dog that needs to be taught how to behave.

Hi all, we have an approximately 3 year old rescue Chihuahua mix (mainly Chihuahua), we have got it from a rescue centre a week ago. We were told that he was good with other dogs and cats etc but when we go on walks he gets really agitated and aggressive towards every dog he sees even if they don’t interact with him.

Before we take him to a dog trainer, we would like some tips on how to stop him from being so aggressive.

What tips and suggestions do you have that we can use to turn him into a friendly dog that either wants to play with others (or at least does not react to them).

Today we have started distracting him with treats when he sees other dogs but we are not 100% sure we are doing it right as he loses focus very easily.

Thanks for all the tips!
