The guy's a prick and there's probably nothing you can do about it.
My mate's dog will get aggro with puppies occasionally, which they're horrified by, and no training seems to improve it - any time he's off-lead, they're keeping a very close eye and will put him back on lead immediately if needs be.

Ok - opinions please:
My wife was playing catch with Odie in our local park. Always lots of dogs there. Odie off lead, sees another dog off lead and runs over to say hi (wife unsuccessfully recalling him!) Other dog instantly goes for Odie, very aggressively. They tousle (for reals, not play) and Odie retreats - straight back on lead.
The guy was pretty condescending and told my wife off for not having Odie under control. My wife told him his dog should be on a lead if he’s aggressive - he said his dog is ‘Just nervy’. She thinks his dog came away with a scratched nose, while Odies fine, just a bit shaken.
Elle is now a bit confident-knocked about letting him off, which is a shame as we’ve been enjoying being able to let him off lately.
