| I agree with Anne.... dogs can read alot into our emotions.. you can inadvertantly cause a dog to be spooky, w/o being aware of it..
assuming that you are not giving the dog clues... I deffinately agree with having "strangers" help by being friendly to the pup.
food is always the best bet... you will find, that with dogs who are fearfull, they may not always respond to typical treats.. that is when a higher value food becomes usefull... like raw meat, or seasoned meat.. things that you would not normally treat with, but that could be used in special instances.
