That dog has had plenty shock therapy and several hillbilly skulldraggins ...
Well this may seem harsh to some but if that is the case and the dog just won't stop than cull it and move on........if it is fightin that dang much in the first place and it can't be that good a hunting dog...........if it were it wouldn't have time to fight all the time lol

A swift unforgiving hand will get the point across 99% of the time.
if a couple of good whippings don't do it then cull and move on...and this type of dog when bred tends to pass on those traits...

1) hunt it solo
2) hunt with opposite sex only
3) havent seen neutering/spay help much once the pattern is established.
4) it all depends on how important the dog is to u, and how much you are willing to put up with.
5) sometimes shock collars will get em cranked up more when they start fightin cuz the dog thinks its the other dog inflicting the pain. I wonder if something like a hand held taser that incapacitates the dog would work,,,
6) last, cull it.
Good luck

Every dog and every person is different. I got a dang good gyp gave to me for her "aggression" issues. She has been very, very close to the chopping block several times (in my yard and where she came from), but her being a quality hog dog has saved thus far. The only way I know to describe her is, she's just a bitch!
She doesn't tolerate any goofing off or butt sniffing in the woods, and will tune a pup up real quick. She also seems to carry grudge's. Most of the time she doesn't really have an all out fight, just a nip and bark in an attempt to straighten up or prove dominance.
Not that long ago we were on a hunt with dogs scattered in shoats. When she got to another dog that had one caught (a dog she had really gone at it with at her previous yard), she caught the other dog instead of the pig. Well, that other gyp has now grown up a lil and commenced to whoopin her a gooden. Now since then, I have noticed her to be calming down more.
Now, after putting much thought into this and reading others experience/opinions...I think the time I spend letting the pups out of their kennel and paying a watchful eye (me getting on her if she so much as bristles up to the annoying pups) and her getting her tail handed to her in the woods has hopefully saved this ol cranky gyp a few more days on top of the dirt.
But, it is hard to cull a sure nuff hog dog for things we roll our eyes at with our ol lady's

I have 0 tolerance for ill dogs. A little growly in the box if their tired, or over dead game, I MIGHT tolerate a little or a gyp snapping at a male with his nose run up her hind end. But to flat out jump on another dog, its over! I don't care how good it hunts. My opinion is that its a flat out cull.
But thats just me.

May sound crazy but check out Caesar Milan videos. I have a question tho. Is he picking fights cause he is scared or is it just him being billy bad boy. Fear can be fixed thru socialization. Billy bad boy can also to some extent. It will take effort and a very attentive eye coupled with quick and consistent correction to achieve the results u want. If u can't fix it u need to either hunt solo or cull because this one issue can cause u lots of grief. Far more than training a pup.

a dog of this type can ruin pups and young dogs...there isn't too many things that make my blood boil but a very growly dog makes it boil pretty quick...

I totally understand, but i also hate a dog that wants to goof off and interfere with other dogs trying to hunt. I think in some cases it doesn't hurt to have another dog get on the playfull one to help put it in line. And by that a dont mean she yokes the pup up and tries to really hurt it, its more of a knock that mess off and get to work

Buy a cattle prod....not a shock collar, a straight up cattle prod and put the fear of God into him when he does it again if you ain't gonna cull him, that oughta tune him up.

Just make sure you put the fear of god into him at the right moment. In other words, when he's caught in the act. Years back I had an old yard dog that was full of himself. I broke him with a shock collar but I also did a few other things such as never letting him walk through a gate ahead of me and not letting him start eating
until I said it was o.k. I just figured he needed to be reminded where his position was in the pack. It worked but I had to stay on top of it. Mine didn't pick fights, he just didn't like his space invaded. He didn't like horse playing from other dogs. Like Justin and others said , he might just need tuning up every now and then.

This might sound silly, but as soon as he starts that mess yoke him and pin him on his back and set strattle of him. Holding his head down and scolding him at the same time. hold him down til he calms down and quits squirming. Let him up slowly and repeat when necessary.
I ain't ever done it, but if you really want to get serious, you could bite him on the ear when he's pinned down too. Ive heard of folks thats actually done that. LOL.

The holding them down and keeping them there till YOU allow them to get up has worked with establishing dominance on stubborn males I've had before he may think he's alpha and you have to show him otherwise

makes perfect sense really, when a non dominant male decides to bow up to the dominant male this is what the dominant dog will do to remind the youngster that he ain't the big boy on the yard.

I grab their collar and will pick them up too me. I look them in the eye and they better calm down. You say you can't afford to lose the dog but you can't afford that dog to hurt someone else's dog. Now if it just grumpy I would just put a shock collar on now that he hunts. When he gets grumpy light him up. It may seem harsh but if he gets grumpy on the wrong dog it may be harsher. If it aggressive I would cull that dog before it costs you big.
