Thanks Ryan for your encouragement. I feel that I have progressed alot with Zorro in one week. A trainer told me today Zorro has progressed and said I am concentrating more too. Basically I think she was saying I am in control, and very committed to changing my dog. Zorro JUST turned 6 months and I will desex him ASAP. I will not breed him either. For now I will persist with what I am doing and if he is still temperamental at 8 months I will seek a 1:1 trainer. I have already made enquiries. I am hoping desexing may calm him down. At puppy school today people freely patted him and he enjoyed it. In the street him may growl faintly but stops on my command now. But DARN, still needs more practice with his other canine friends.

Mayissa,
Sounds like you are doing everything right on your own, but you need the help of a
excellent behavior trainer. (not just an obedient trainer)
For now, keep using the muzzle,
not only to protect others but to also
protect your dog.
You did not mention if he was neutered.
If he is not, I highly suggest you do it as soon as possible. Do not use this dog
for breeding.
I applaud you for what you have done
on your own.
Please keep us posted in the future.
