Do yourself and Jake a favor and have him neutered.

if you don't want to bring him to an obedience school, you can tray bringing him into dogs slowly, It means bring with you his favorite treats or food, bring slowly other dog and any time he tries to bark or attack just say no and if he stop give him a treat.. try bring the other dog closer each time. It could take time but I think if you do it for 10 mins / day for like 3 weeks he'll be much better with dogs.and be patient with him, it's not easy to change a behaivor to a 4 years old dog

He should have been socialized as a younger pup. You should get him fixed as if he already shows dog aggression it is a bad idea to breed him. He may get agressive towards the female and if it is just male aggression then getting him fixed may make him less aggressive. You need to do something before he does hurt one of these other dogs seriously and if he does it too often they make you have him put down. So for the safety of your dog and other dogs have him neutered.

oh for heavens sake, get him neutered immediately. He does NOT need to be bred to create more dogs !!! He is an alpha dog, he wants to be the big guy, the leader of the pack. You should take him to obedience class and get him around other dogs and teach him that he can't be the boss all the time. A collar, no matter what kind it is, will not make him like other dogs. Watch the dog whisperer and see how he handles this problem, he would make your dog be with other dogs and discipline him whenever he shows aggression. But first---GET HIM NEUTERED!!!

Your Goldie has a classic case of "Dog Aggresson." What this means, is that he is aggressive toward other dogs. It is an act of Dominance, either from fear or from not being taught that's not the right thing to do. It sounds to me like it's gotten way beyond what you and your family can handle or change, so I would suggest IMMEDIATELY going to a Behaviorlist... one that will teach you how to control and change his behavior. It's a dangerous behavior that could easily land him with a "Vicious Dog" verdict... and if not tended to, could even mean that you'll be forced to put him down.
