This is not the kind of thing you can push.  It takes time for people to become comfortable around dogs.  The kids in our village adjust quickly but adults often cling to their fears.  Just be patient and don't get too upset or be too dismissive of people who are afraid.  Here are a few of my well adjusted pets.

EXACTLY!   The only time I've seen dog crap is in my garden!

 

My assumption is that the heat gets rid of it within a few hours.

 

A lot of them drop the kids off in bushes. Apart from that it desiccates and turns white in 2 days if in the sun, there are also a number of local bugs that get stuck into dog poo and break it down.

That is an absolutely beautiful dog! What is a TRD? Thai Ridgeback Doberman cross?

We have a boxer dog and get similar reactions. Always thought it strange given how used to and tolerant thais are of Soi dogs.

If you anywhere near Bangna he is welcome to play with our dog :)

 

He's a TRD.
Surprised by the breed, incredibly happy and loving dog, smart to boot.

That is our front yard here in the rural hinterlands of Chiang Rai.
