I sit out in the front of my house with Buddy tethered out there with me, many kids and people are always around playing, jumping, basketball, bikes, skateboards, you name it. He was in a barn his entire life, so exposing him to everything and everyone every day does wonders.
Spend time out front, or if it's not busy (like my neighbourhood) go to a busy park Maybe try giving the kids(they love helping with dogs) and people in your neighbourhood doggie treats so they can come up and give them to him, so he can associate people coming over to him as a good experience.
