Nature.

Matilda’s mum’s a Labrador, who went to ‘see’ another;

She, in season, He, a stud; with champion sons and brother.

They did what they were there to do without enthusiasm

And she went home to whelp despite this motivation chasm.

Before too long, she jumped the gate to see her love, the Collie:

Matilda’s Mum’s a Labrador. Matilda’s a Labradollie!

If you are having problems with ‘aggression’ toward other dogs when out with yours, I strongly suggest you read the article by Suzanne Clothier at http://www.flyingdogpress.com/sayhi.html. PLEASE do this before trying training or gadgets - you need to understand how your dog is feeling before you take any action which might make the world a more frightening place for your dog.
