But they won’t likely become outgoing if they’re naturally nervous or shy. It’s possible, most fearful dogs gradually improve with time, training, and trust. You can learn to manage their fears with training, patience, and time. Treats and happy, positive interactions can go a long way, but don’t expect a total transformation. Go slow and give them time to gain confidence and trust. Putting your dog in a stressful situation will set their progress back.
