Why doesn't your dog like strangers?

It could be a number of things: the dog is being territorial, isn't socialized enough (thus being unsure or afraid of strangers, or has learned to be aggressive towards other people), or it is dominant over you and thinks it's protecting you against other people. Another thing is that you probably inadvertently tried to reassure the dog by petting him, only this caused him to think it was okay to be in this state of mind (afraid, unsure, aggressive, dominant, territorial) towards strangers.

How can a shy girl be loud when addressing her dog even when her crush is around?

The shy girl can practice talking to her dog in a confident and energetic tone before her crush is around, so that it feels more natural when he's present. She can focus on having fun and bonding with her pet, which can help her feel more at ease and less self-conscious. Additionally, reminding herself that her crush's opinion of her doesn't define her worth can also help boost her confidence in being her true self.
