1. Start by introducing your dog to strangers in a positive way by having them give treats to your dog or petting them in a gentle way.
2. Desensitize your dog by having strangers stand at a distance and gradually move closer until your dog is comfortable.
3. Provide positive reinforcement when your dog is around strangers. Give treats or praise when they remain calm and relaxed.
4. Give your dog an escape route if they become scared. Allow them to move away from the stranger if they need to.
5. Be patient and consistent. It may take time for your dog to become comfortable around strangers.
