I have had success with a couple of visiting dogs using what I learned here. Seeing the problem as jealousy not aggression made the most difference. I've been keeping him and visiting dog on leash until ground rules are established and he demonstrates relaxed body language. I have also asked visiting humans to limit affection toward him as this is a way he takes control ( he takes ownership on visiting dogs owner).
Thank you again for the help,
Cathy
