In case you are not afraid because you have had a correct socialization as a puppy and as an adult, there need be no problem. The complication appears when the animal has not socialized and has bad experiences with people . If the latter happens to your dog, pay attention to his body language, do not allow a stranger to try to caress him, do not scold him for not wanting to be touched and attract his attention with something tasty in exchange for sitting down to associate the stranger with something nice.
It is always better for the animal to approach the person on its own feet and to be given its space. If he approaches by himself, he will clearly approve of the caress .
