I am trying that Koehler training method on my male Akita.
If I can get my male Akita to behave around other dogs, maybe with a LOT of work I will see how he does in obedience next year at a
fun match.>>>>>>>>

Don't get discourage. Training a breed such as an Akita is not the same as training a breed such as a Goldie or a GSD etc.
Where these dogs are pleasers the AKita
is always thinking "Why should I, and You should do it instead of me".
Very intelligent dogs and the rewards of training will be well worth it.
