intimidated in front of someone or something,
be there with your dog and tell him that it’s ok, assure him
everything will be all right.
Use some trick like telling the stranger to
give your dog a treat when you are present. Dogs often like people
who feed them. If the stranger feeds your dog, he will be considered
as a good person by your dog. Only do this in your presence.
You don’t want your dog to blindly accept food from strangers
outside your presence, nor do you want to be somewhere else when
your dog reacts poorly to a stranger and perhaps bites him due to
his shyness and intimidation.
If you repeat this dog exercise often, your dog will become
accustomed to this. He will feel safe and comfortable in such a
situation instead of shy and intimidated.
You want your dog to learn as many signs of friendliness as
possible. Do this by allowing your visitors to show their care and
love for your dog in their unique ways as long as it doesn’t
intimidate or violate your dog’s space in a way he finds
unacceptable.
Conduct this process only in your presence
so that you can prevent any undesirable behavior from taking place.
Remember, you want your friends to feel save in this process as
well.
You needn’t worry that your dog will lose his capacity for being a
good watch dog if he is friendly to everyone. Dogs have a strong
instinct when it comes to distinguishing the familiar and friendly
people from those who are sneaky or harmful.
Repetition of positive experiences with a variety of different
people and settings is key to overcome your dog’s fear of shyness or
intimidation especially if the dog is new to you and your social
circle and environment.
This dog training will soon result in your little companion viewing
your friends as fun and enjoyable whenever he meets them.
