Dog Training for Dummies is a popular book. They should have it at the bookstore. You have probally seen the For Dummies series of training and learning books before. Yellow and Black labels. Also the book Dog Talk is a very good book. It is by John Ross and Barbara McKinney throgh St.Martins Press, 175 Fifth Ave. New York, New York 10010 it deals with dealing with dogs from their point of view.

Answer 2

That really isnt something you teach a dog...the are like people some have extroverted personalities and some have introverted personalities, trust me you want a dogs that likes strangers and is extroverted..I have a dog that is naturally introverted even with extensive early socialization, it is a constant thorn in my side and it can take years for him to fully accept a new person.....So ask yourself do you really want a dog that you cant take anywhere around other people he doesnt know?? If you have an extroverted dog that likes to meet new people it doesnt mean he wont defend his pack and his territory, in fact that is ideally what a dog should be...sociable with new people and dogs, friendly and outgoing, but because of his love for you will still protect you from harm and physical violence because like every dog they know when you are in danger of being threatened... That is much better instead of being blindly afraid of and mistrustful of every person. That is what causes them to bite without reason because the cant distinguish between friend or foe. Trust me give your dog lots of love and he will mistrust anyone who threatens or attacks you while still being sociable to people who are not a threat.
