Understanding Your Dog's Reaction to New People

Tips for managing introductions so your dog feels comfortable around visitors and strangers.
Reading Early Signals
Tail position and ear carriage often give early clues. Allow space initially rather than forcing interaction.
Helpful Preparation Steps
- Reward calm behaviour with treats
- Practise short greetings on walks
- Keep first meetings brief and positive
Nutritional Support During Social Times
A steady diet helps maintain overall composure. Speak to your vet if reactions seem extreme.
Long-Term Social Confidence
Regular gentle exposure builds better responses over time.
