It's hard to tell you or even give any advice without seeing exactly how they are acting.

By the way you have explained it, it sounds like your dog has territorial aggression, partially because he's not neutered. In unfixed males they have pent up frustration of not being able to mate so they take it out on another dog (all that energy and frustration is released on whoever is closest). My best advice would be exercise him (leash and play) 2 hours per day and see if it helps. If the dog gets into a fight don't scold the dog and then leave, you're teaching the dog that he got what he wanted, the other dog to go away.

If your dog gets into a fight, after it's broken up have him lay down beside you until he's no longer fixated on the other dog, then walk away without a word.

I would get a professional behaviorist for this, this territorial aggression could become much worse with time.

Cheers!
