Aggression towards other dogs

[StuBoy]

Hi there, I’m new here. When I looked at the site previously there was a discussion about dog aggression but now I’ve joined up I can’t find it! Anyway, somebody up north was recommended a GOOD dog behaviourist and I was wondering if anyone knew of one down near Bracknell way?
Our dog barks insanely at other dogs when we’re out although he actually loves other dogs when he gets to know them and loves nothing more than to play. We’ve been told it’s fear aggression and avoidance is the best method. Guess what, we don’t want to avoid all other dogs for the rest of his life ‘cos he loves them really. So, any advice would be very welcome.
cheers

Look on the APBC site, there are reputable behaviourists with both empirical and theoretical experience, Sarah Whitehead springs to mind, a very nice lady and extremely competent
