I've had my Pitbull Rosey for about 6 months now, she was rescued from a Pit fighting ring, and she still is very cautious/afraid of strangers. She barks and growls at any guests in the house, she will sniff them and accept a treat from them but the dog refuses to let anyone but her family pet her.

Children are the only strangers she is a free spirit and curious doggie with. She really loves the kiddies but is fearfull of adults.

I've tried a few different things to help her feel more secure but so far...it ain't happening.

Is there anything you folks can recommend for introducing and helping an insecure dog meet new people and come out of her shell a little bit?

I've made good progress with her in other areas of her life but her insecurity with strangers is a tough nut to crack.
