How to teach my dog not to stare at other dogs? I'm working on getting my dog qualified as a therapy dog. I was going over their evaluation process and one of the first things it says is *"Dogs must never display aggression by lunging, growling, snapping, or straining at the leash to 
get to another dog or a person. Staring at another dog is considered aggressive behavior."*

I cannot get my dog to not stare down other dogs. I've been trying to break his obsession around them and while he'll listen to me and leave the area when another dog comes he won't stop staring at the other dogs and I have no clue how to fix that behavior. Any help would be appreciated.
