Every dog owner should take dog-on-dog aggression seriously. Small dogs that become aggressive towards other dogs can be dealt with, but large dogs will tear your arm out of the socket when they lunge on the leash. They might even leave you flat on your face, struggling to hold on.
This is not going to end the aggression issue, but it may solve a lot of your problems. When you come across another dog on your walk, just turn your dog away and walk him out of the zone so that he no longer feels threatened. If it is too far to walk away, stand in front of the dog and block his view so that he does not see the other dog.

Have your dog under control and have your friend walk by with his dog while you are giving treats. This should be repeated every day, or as often as possible, and with time the dog comes to associate the appearance of another dog with a positive stimulus.
