Try to keep your dog in a separate room until
your guests have arrived and sat down. You may
want to avoid an unwanted situation where your
dog can bark or hide behind you. After a warm
greeting from your side, let your dog sniff or
welcome your guests. Give your dog a few minutes
to make him feel comfortable.

Make The Introduction Calm And Short
The important part is that you have to set a
good example for your dog. Ensure your dog adapt
the positive things and keep learning. Try to
be calm with your dog if he gets excited in
presence of strangers. No matter how anxious is
your dog, if you are in any unwanted situation
where your dogs behavior is unnatural, just
shorten the introductory process.

• Let your dog make the first move. Never allow
  strangers to touch or approach your dog until
  they become familiar with your visitors. Train
  your dog to approach the strangers and encourage
  them for showing happiness or confidence. Keep
  your dog under your control and if you are
  feeling that your dog is getting aggressive then
  make a delay in the process of introducing your
  dog to your guests.

Include some basic commands which your dog
understands and train them accordingly so that
they should respond positively as soon as you
use those. Some of the basic obedience commands
are sit, lie down, stay, come, walk on the
leash.
6
Reward Your Dog
Don't forget to reward your dog with treats and
praise. Let your guests pat your dog and make
him feel that he is liked by your guests.
Without making eye contact, let your guests
encourage your dog. But if he is fearful and
shy, then try not to acknowledge such type of
behavior.

If your dog really accepts and likes your
guests, he will feel enough confidence in front
of strangers. Give him little time and space to
let your dog realize that your guests are not
harmful. He will eventually be more open over
the period of time. Its important to properly
train them to be socialized.

• After all your efforts, if you are having
  trouble controlling your dog, then keep him
  behind a doggy gate. It is the safest option to
  keep him away from the guests when you are
  getting started. You can also bring
• a professional trainer to groom your pet dog,
  though it will entirely depend on the nature and
  behavior of your dog.
