Socialization is key in making a dog more fearful of strangers. Introduction to positive reinforcement training and behavior modification techniques can be helpful in changing the dog's behavior. Developing an optimal balance between fear and aggression is necessary in order to make your dog an effective guard animal. Working with a professional trainer who has experience with guardians dogs can help achieve this goal.

You could start by introducing your dog to strangers in a controlled environment and rewarding it when it displays apprehensive or protective behaviors. You could also incorporate defensive postures such as teaching your dog to lay down and stay when it senses danger. Additionally, continue to socialize your dog in familiar environments and encourage good behavior with positive reinforcement.
