When they see a dog what happens is a mixture of wanting to get to them and heightened fear and awareness
...... this excited state leads to manic barking

instead of them being trained merely on the lead
This is a symptom of the problem and not the problem at all
They need to be properly socialized
That's what I thought too, but they are socialized. Deegan has gone to puppy school & day care, and before I got Trooper he lived with several foster homes who all had many cats & dogs, and I still have playdates for them with friends & families dogs. Wouldn't that be enough socialization for them??
