Travis is better with people coming to the house!

Can a dog that is frightened of visitors learn to welcome people calmly into the house?

This is was my story about him eighteen months ago: http://www.dogidog.co.uk/spookiness

They lady says: “I wanted to take a moment to update you on Travis. He’s doing well and will be returning to the States with us in February. Your tips for introducing him to strangers in the house have worked beautifully. The kids have had friends over and he’s been just fine with them…….. it’s outstanding, and the same principles will be applied after he returns to the States”.

I feel so pleased for Travis and his family after his rocky start in life and that he is no longer scared of people arriving.Can a dog that is frightened of visitors learn to welcome people calmly into the house?I feel so pleased for Travis and his family after his rocky start in life and that he is no longer scared of people arriving.
