He's still a puppy and they do go through feat stages where they are easy frightened. The more patient you are the quicker he'll learn other dogs are okay. I would avoid dog parks and other places with high concentrations of dogs until he settles, but otherwise find a friend with a naturally docile dog and let them play off leash. If he is acting up on leash when he sees another dog it may just be he is curious, a little scared, and trapped by a string connected to you where he can't get away or go meet the dog on his terms. Good luck and be patient!!
