My dog is a bit nervous around people. How can I help him?

One way to help your dog feel more comfortable around people is to practice positive reinforcement. Reward your pup for being calm and relaxed when they're around people, such as giving them treats or praise. You could also try introducing your pup to the person slowly by having them sit near the person's feet first. Additionally, you can desensitize your pup to different stimuli that might make them anxious, like loud noises, unfamiliar smells, and other animals.
