Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Skeeter is an energetic mini Aussie. He is having a hard time with new people. He will bark and growl at them, basically he’s fear reactive. So he will bark and be scared at new people in the house, maybe a rock thats far away because he doesnt know what it is.. etc. We haven’t been diligent enough with socializing him. But he is 9 months so he can absolutely be worked on. Ive learned that our very small house mixed with small children doesnt help his nervousness. He needs someone who knows how to train his reactivity basically. Hes a great dog otherwise, learns very well and quickly, VERY snuggly, and loves to play. He is crate trained, potty trained pretty well. Knows sit, lay down, watch me, wait, stay, and leave it but can be worked on better. He is okay with recall, but needs more work.
His right eye is blue, left is brown. Has a pretty brown merle coat. Pretty well trained to not nip at heels of feet (herding characteristics) but can be worked on better.
