I replied to another post with this but I think perhaps I might some advice in this section of the forum.

I just got a Ned as a rescue.. he arrived yesterday and bringing him for a walk, I realised he was a little aggressive towards other dogs. But I think I was more worried about what he would do as we don't know his background and reactions - yet.
But I would love to know what we can do in such situations to discourage them from being that slightly aggressive? I have been pulling him back on the harness and giving him a firm NO.. would that be the right thing to do? We're also hoping to have him 'ignore' the cat.. not sure how as yet!! But suggestions are welcome!!
I am looking at bring him to obedient classes but it might be a little later as I can't afford the expenses for now ..
I'm not looking for a free advice to avoid classes but I guess I am after advice on what I can do in the meantime? He's always on a leash whereeve we go now, except for when at home.
