upon consideration, i think that perhaps you would be better served by investing in a crate (if you don't already have one), and ensuring that your dog has enough excercise on-leash or longline in between being crated. also, obedience work will not only work his mind, but also his body, plus, will strengthen the bond between the 2 of you.
i agree that tieing him out will (obviously) simply increase aggressive tendencies (sp?). how old is your dog, BTW? that'll have some bearing on what may work best with him/her. keep us posted!

Desiree, what is being said about structured exercise (such as long walks and short, frequent, upbeat, general obedience sessions) is top priority, IMO. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
You'll be surprised and happy, I think, when you see how lots of exercise drains off frustrated energy. And when you combine exercise with training, you have an unbeatable combo.
I would recommend that you get yourself a "dominant dog collar" and learn how to properly use it. I also suggest getting a good quality muzzle to use in conjunction with the "DD collar".
Setup a scenario with someone who has a dog that ISN'T dog aggressive. Once your dog shows any signs of aggression, give him a "NO" and lift straight up and hold. Remember not to "jerk" the leash it's not a "choke chain". I agree that increased exercise will help in this problem.

The addition of a muzzle to the correction "exercise" using a dominate dog collar usually results in a dog that will associate the correction with the wearing of the muzzle.
So unless a person is willing to keep their dog in a muzzle much of the time, I don't recommmend that idea.
And this type of correction should only be done with a very expereinced handler ( and to be done properly, it requires a skilled team ) so I don't think that this is valid advice for a novice owner.
I suppose if the owner is a novice <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
yeah.. I wouldn't advise doing it.. Omar and I have worked a number of dog aggressive dogs using the above mentioned method. Sometimes with sometimes without a muzzle.. (depending on the dog) I didn't think muzzling a chiwawa was neccessary <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I just gave Omar a phone call and we agree that if the person isn't experienced with such scenarios it's not the recommended thing to do..
