You can't make a dog stop being scared. What you can do is help the dog learn to be more comfortable around things that are scary to her/him. You do this by desensitizing and counter conditioning the dog around the things (triggers) that bother it. You need to keep the dog below or near its threshold for its tolerance of its triggers. It's a slow process and in some cases a dog can never become totally comfortable around things that scare it.
you can try muzzling him and slowly get him used to other dogs with it on;)
Make it fun for the dog. Give the dog treats if he is showing good behavior, especially during walks. Maybe even bring a toy that your dog likes to make it more enjoyable for the dog.

Maybe the dog is scared, most dogs do not eat when they are scared. Make sure that you are feeding the same food as always because giving him other food may make him get stressed out even more than he already is.

when it feels like its going to get hurt. a dog only attacks someone when they can sense their fear. because dogs can smell fear. A dog can bite when it is scared, when it is threatened, when it is playing or happy. Some times dogs bite to show how they feel. Biting is a way that dogs can communicate with each other in the DOG WORLD.

Any dog likes going for a walk with their best human friend. Go to an obedience class near you, can find out where they are being held in your area by contacting the local Animal Shelter, your local dog club, a pet store or your Veterinarian. Measure your dog's neck and get a choke chain or slip collar that is 2" longer than the neck measurment and a 6 ft. lead. Always have your dog on lead when going for walks. Daily walks of 30 minutes a day are great for any dog. It also teaches them obedience too.
