You let strangers attack your dog?
Running away is the smart response, actually.

Your dogs lack of courage is a personality trait and just like people you can't change its personality. I dont' understand why strangers are attacking it but I am sure that if the stranger was attacking you it would jump into action. Even cowardly dogs will protect an owner that is good to them.

Running away is a good thing. Why do so many strangers attack it? Plus, having a "courageous" dog may land you in a lot of trouble and be fatal for the dog, if he/she turns nasty.

If you are making an attempt to train your dog in personal protection you are "poop" out of luck and if you continue to press the issue with this dog you are going to find your self in a world of trouble. You can't teach courage, the dog first of all needs to trust you then if it has the correct temperament, drive and genetics you would then have to dedicate a lot of time working with an experienced professional trainer.
***I hope I didn't waste my time with some ghetto punk or redneck trying to make a mean attack dog.

Why would you allow a stranger to attack it? I would run too, if a stranger tried to attack me.

Where do you live that strangers randomly attack your dog?
Any dog that is cornered will usually defend himself. Hopefully, these strangers who live with you will leave your dog alone.

I hope you're kidding. If you're having people attempt this you need to give the dog to someone who cares for it!
No matter the dog, IF and WHEN they feel threatened they will react-unless they have a dumbass owner who's having his friends run up and scream waving their arms. In which case- then thank you for adding to the bad reps dogs have thanks to ignorant owners as yourself.

Dogs have a fight or flight reflex. It doesn't matter to them if they protect themselves by fleeing or by fighting, they only care not to be harmed. Your dog has decided the best way to avoid harm is to flee - he's a smart dog. Dogs don't have to be controlled by silly, manly concerns like looking tough or being macho.

Have the dog cornered in a room or against a fence, it will no longer have the luxery of running away and will be forced to stand its ground and attack. SICKEM SPARKY!!!
