My dog attacks strangers. How to train him for safe airline travel?

Question

How to make him understand or train he not to lunge or attack to any stranger I mean he is all fine with family member and relatives who come but if suddenly come and hold his leash he can attack I am doing this because I have to fly from India to USA via Amsterdam so my pet would also be coming along with me but I am worried like KLM airlines at Amsterdam told they clean cage and feed food but if they open cage for food I am worried he might can attack so how to make him understand that ? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 3 years and 3 months old

It sounds like this would take some pretty intensive training and it might not be safe or realistic for him to fly this way. You could try asking your veterinarian if they know a trainer near you who could work on stranger aggression issues. It might also be helpful to train Danny to wear a basket muzzle for added safety - dogs can drink with this type of muzzle on but might have difficulty eating. If you need to travel soon you may need to contact the airline and see if there are other safe ways to have Danny handled during transport.
