[Hokule'a]

I let mine socialize with family and friends and neighbors that I'm familiar with but when it comes to strangers what works for me is when someone starts oohing and aahing and reaching towards them I quietly say, "Now, don't you bite!" and the person always pulls back. Of course mine only want to lick you to death and wouldn't bite a flea but it works on keeping strangers away - LOL!
