[Vinniedoggy]

Thanks, I've tried similar approaches (i.e., using treats) but never while changing body positions. I have noticed, and this usually occurs by accident, that Vinnie's behavior changes depending on where I'm standing. If I'm standing in front of him (and next to the stranger), his aggression is greatly decreased. It's almost like standing in that position shows that I too am not afraid of the person. Same thing with other dogs.

Thanks!
