10 Essential Socialization Tips for a Friendly, Confident Dog

7. Introducing Your Dog to New People

Meeting new people can be daunting for a shy dog. To ease this process, introduce your dog to new people gradually and in controlled environments. Encourage visitors to offer treats and approach your dog at their level to appear less intimidating. Allow your dog to approach at their own pace, and never force interactions. With time and positive experiences, your dog will learn that meeting new people can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience, enhancing their social confidence.
