Have you heard of the book The dog listener from the UK. Jan Fennell. I am using her method with great success. Ignore and do not look them in the eye and do not speak. Turn your back on to them when they keep pushing you. This is your first line of approach. Tell strangers to not look them in the eye and totally ignore them. The dog will eventually come to the stranger and they still need to ignore the dog. Downplay the whole thing. Never get angry. You have much more effect on them with ignoring.
If dogs are aggressive that means a lot of the time they think they are the leader and need to protect you or they are anxious because they feel they have to be the leader and they cannot cope. When you reunite with your dog wait 5 minutes before you great them.

His training is going okay at the moment apart from jumping up on people in the house and outside as well.When he is in the house we try lifting our knee to his chest which eventually stops him.But when he is outside and off the lead he will jump up on anyone wether it be a toddler or an adult,which can be frightening for them as you can imagine.Also if anyone comes into the house he jumps all over them. Can anyone give me advice on how to stop this please.
