How to humanely train my older dog to trust strangers and walk?

Question

Do you prefer choke chain for training? Also is it hard to train the behaviour of dog towards stranger so that they easily trust other people and allow them to take him on walk ?? Can they learn all this at this age ?? Also at this age if trainer wants to train dog do they beat or hit them or show anger with loud voice to them or how do they control them so that they listen and learn.

Choke chains, beating animals, hitting animals, and using a "loud voice" are not recommended methods of training, as they are cruel and ineffective. Do not do any of the above to Bruno. I recommend working with a veterinary behaviourist or a trainer who uses positive reinforcement techniques to help train Bruno. See the link below for more information: https://www.dacvb.org/page/dogs Bruno can certainly learn at his age, and I recommend taking him to a puppy training/ socialization class so he can get used to other animals and people, which will make it easier for him to get used to strangers so he will be more willing to walk with other people.
