My dog is so loving and friendly with myself and my partner. However, the minute he is approached by a stranger he begins to growl and snap. I fear he may even bite and get himself into trouble. He gets even more aggressive when we have guests in our home and will not let anyone pet him. I’ve tried getting strangers to approach him whilst speaking in a soothing voice but he still growls and wards them off. How can I change this behaviour?

or:My dog is like this, but more extreme. She'said bit quite a few people. Take your dog to a professional, get a muzzle, and get your dog a shock collar. It will help alot.
