I would also add a couple of safety precautions. One, make sure his buckle collar isn't loose enough for him to back out of. Two, you might install a tiedown and clip him to that as well as holding the leash, so that if you lose your grip on the leash, he cannot charge.
I'd edit my post if I could! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> So use the tiedown in addition to sitting on the leash, so that if he pulls the leash out from under you, he cannot charge.

A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. - Robert Benchley
In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. - Edward Hoagland
Um, guys, just one more fly in the ointment....do you find that dogs tend to have more bravado and put on a bigger display with their human standing (or in this case, sitting) right there next to them?
It depends totally on the dog and the owner’s relationship. It is specific to the individuals though, in bite work it is well known the dog is more confident while on leash and feels the security of his or her owner through the leash tension.

Do you think this could be an obstacle to counterconditioning this particular dog? By being right there next to him, would the handler not be giving him reinforcement for his aggressive display? I'm wondering if it might be better to find a way to bring down his level of arousal before implementing behavior modification.
Lisa it all comes down to solid obedience and it is where Linda needs to focus on. Nothing else will matter until control by the owner is established and this will be best accomplished by finding a trainer like I have suggested and it seems she has so there is nothing more she should do or can do until that time. Making the Iliad of Buster the Dog closed one for me.
