How to deal with strangers who keep rewarding the jumping

My mini poodle puppy is almost 6 months old. Out on walks I try my best to put distance between myself and others but sometimes I find myself in situations where it’s unavoidable. Once they’re within reach he goes from 0 to 100 and almost every single time they reward the jumping. Some even get offended when I tell them he’s in training and to ignore him.

As an example, today a guy actually walked right up to us and did the usual reward the behaviour. When I tried to explain he’s in training he stormed off and said “If you can’t control your dog it shouldn’t be on the foot path”. 🙄
