Many pet dogs are very gentle and obedient when facing their owners, but they can be fierce or very unfriendly toward strangers. When a guest comes to the house, if the dog growls or barks at the unfamiliar visitor, it can make the guest feel scared, unsafe, or even unwilling to enter, which can also embarrass the owner. Therefore, in daily life, owners should scientifically train their pets to become sensible and well-behaved, so they do not recklessly growl fiercely at the owner’s friends.

　　Cultivating a gentle temperament in pets should start from their puppyhood. Before the dog’s fear intensifies, the owner should provide a sense of security, dissolve its hostility and fear toward strangers, and strengthen the dog’s training. Guide it to properly face strangers and handle various situations. Owners should specifically teach their dogs from a young age how to approach strangers without being so fierce to unfamiliar friends.

　　In practical training, owners can invite strangers to stimulate the dog. They can try to let strangers slowly approach the pet and give the dog food from their hands. When the dog approaches the stranger, it should be encouraged, and after completing the training, it should be rewarded. The training should be repeated in daily life until the pet dog forms the habit of correctly facing strangers, and then the training can stop.

　　It is worth noting that while training dogs not to be so fierce to strangers, they should also be trained to maintain enough vigilance toward strangers. Not every stranger is a good person. Many dog thieves lure dogs with snacks. If the dog’s vigilance toward strangers is insufficient, it may be enticed and stolen by the stranger.
