fearful/reactive behavior

I have a 14 month old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix that I rescued when he was 8 weeks old. The first 4 months he was fine--showed no signs of being fearful of friends and strangers entering our house. At about 5 months of age, he started to be fearful of people barking and growling at them and when I took him to dog training, lunging at the other dogs. After about 3 months I stopped taking him to training because it was way too stressful for him even though the trainers kept on telling me this is what he needed, that he would get over it. On walks he also would lunge at other dogs.
