If you mean by aggressive towards other dogs, then your dog probably thinks that when you have him/her on a lead then it will not be able to do whatever it wants to do. Like you will just pull it away. When it's not on the lead then it feels more free. My dog is VERY aggressive when it sees other dogs, especially when she is in a leash, so i always, ALWAYS try to avoid meeting other dogs. I tried having her in the garden, and my neighbour has a tiny puppy that crawls through the fence. There my dog is completely calm and quiet.

∙ 12y agoThere are several techniques that can be used. The most popular is "be a tree." For this technique, any time the leash becomes taut, you stop moving forward. Do not pull the dog back. Simply stand still and pretend you are planted in the ground like a tree, an imovable object. Look up at the sky and ignore your dog until the dog moves toward you and loosens the leash. When he does so, praise him and start walking again.
If being a tree doesn't work, try "penalty yards." There's a link below that goes into detail on this technique, but basically it's like playing "red light green light." Choose a starting point with something desirable a few yards away. Approach the object walking normally, but if the dog pulls the leash taut, turn around and go back to your starting point. Each time he pulls, you start over. This one takes lots of time, but is very effective.
Other contributors have suggested:- you have to take the dog out for walks alot and pop the leash,<---- which means pull on the leash fast but not so hard that it chokes that dog. Enough that it makes him come back to walking beside you, you have to keep doing this if he starts pulling on it. You also want to say "Heel" when you do this so later on you can just say "Heel" and he/she should know that it means.
- If you have a puppy, start early leash training by taking it out on walks few days out of the week(s) and first have the leash short<-- as in dont have the leash loose that the puppy is able to walk ahead by few feet. You want it to walk beside you, also dont want to pop the leash with puppys as hard as you would if it were a full grown. Obviously...
- When your dog pulls one way, turn in the other direction, say heel, and walk in that direction. When the dog pulls again, turn around, say heel, and walk on. Keep repeating those steps. It will take a while so you need patience.
- If your dog pulls a lot I suggest a Prong Collar because when your dog pulls it pushes into their neck so they know they're being bad, and I suggest to have the do close to your side. I know this because I have 2 dogs that pull me like crazy, and I have prong clooars on them and I have my dogs close to my sides and they don's pull anymore!!!
also you can take a treat or 2 with you and when the dog starts walking in front with a pull you show them the treat and they will be foccused on the treat.when you give them the treat the might just stop pulling.

What causes a dog to be aggressive to only certain dogs and what do you do?
Well. if your dog is aggressive to some dogs and not to others there are many reasons. First, the dog(s) your dog is aggressive to may be territorial aggressive, meaning that if you live near them then your neighbor's dog may think that the whole street is his territory and your dog is intruding, causing fights and barking. Also it could be something wrong with your dog. There are diseases that can make a dog too territorial aggressive and it can become a big problem. You should talk to your vet if your dog is too aggressive. And one last reason is your dog can have rabies. If your dog doesn't ahve his/her rabies shots then go to your local vet and have your dog vaccinated. I hope I helped with your problem! :D

This is a rare case; they are very loyal animals and are never aggressive towards their owners.

How do you get my pitbull to be aggressive?
You do not want your Pit Bull to be aggressive. If it has no DA (dog aggression), this is a blessing and you should show off you dog as an ambassador of the breed. If a dog of *any* breed has human aggression, it should humanely be put to sleep. (I'm talking about uncalled for human aggression, not a dog defending its family against a very real threat).

Bad Idea.... If you try to show your dog aggressiveness, it would generally become afraid. Plus, who wants an aggressive dog? Don't try to make a dog aggressive. It will become dog fights and might end up getting it (probably "him") killed.
