Helping your puppy overcome fear of strangers requires patience, positive reinforcement, and gradual exposure. Start by creating positive associations with strangers by having them offer treats or play with your puppy. Encourage calm behavior by rewarding your puppy when they remain relaxed around new people. Gradually increase exposure to strangers in controlled environments, ensuring your puppy feels safe and comfortable. Avoid forcing interactions and allow your puppy to approach strangers at their own pace. Consistent socialization from a young age is key to helping your puppy build confidence and trust in unfamiliar situations.
