BudgetsDad, something else you can try is putting a snug-fitting T-shirt on him. This might sound weird, but the "anxiety wrap" principle has helped many dogs overcome issues. They seem to find the gentle pressure on their body reassuring and it helps them to focus and stay calm.
Special wraps made for this purpose are even sold, but until you find out if your dog even benefits from this system there's no need to shell out $65 or so if you can just buy a kid's T-shirt or sweatshirt that fits nice and snug (without cutting off any circulation of course).
A friend of mine had to deal with an aggressive dog for a while and his T-shirt helped him a lot.
It's definitely worth a try. You can read up ont he topic here:
