Ask your vet for the number of a reputable animal behaviourist, you need help establishing yourself as the alpha in your pack. The dog knows he is NOT big so he is probably in constant state of fear aggression. Many male dogs have difficulty in relinquishing power to a female human, I have worked with my Mum's labmix for over ten years and still occaisionly he forgets pack protocol. Good luck, Poms are a particular fav of mine, so bouncy and full of life. Remember, opposable thumb and driver's license equals LEADER of the PACK.

Keep your dog on a leash or in an enclosed fenced area - like a responsible pet owner does. If you let this go on you'll have one flat Pup. Don't you care that he can be killed by a car?

The best that has worked for me indoors is a small coffee can with change (pennies and quarters). Once they look they are about to engage in that behavior you shake the can (close enough to startle them). Outdoors I don't know if it would work, but maybe one of those fog/blow horn things...when he gets into the "slink" positions press the button and blow the horn just enough to startle him out of that position and distract him from the car.

You are the problem. Not the cars, and not your dog. Hiring a school bus will not resolve this.
You are the problem.
Not the cars, and not your dog.
