Fear of Dogs: Simple Ways To Get Rid of Your Phobia Of Dogs

Lots of people are scared of dogs. The fear is quite often triggered when we're a young child. Possibly you were happily playing with a dog and without warning there were bare teeth and loud barks. If that had happened when you're older, no problem, you'd likely not have an issue. But when we're younger, suddenly your mind begins to assume that a dog isn't actually man's best friend.

The problem is that - despite what you may remember from school - we actually learn quite fast, this idea gets stuck in our mind. Whether we like the idea or not.

So what can you do to cut down your fear of dogs? After all, most of them just want to make friends with you and be fed dog treats every now and then.

You could tell yourself that "dogs are my friends" but you and I know that you'll dismiss that thought in an instant. Especially as it's almost 100% certain there's a very loud voice in your head screaming (as they do in all the best pantomimes) "oh no they aren't!"

The next thing to try is to put yourself close enough to dogs that you see them but there is zero chance that you'll actually be nose to nose or have it jump up at you and smother you with muddy paw prints. Looking at pictures is a good way to progress here. Unless your mind is working overtime, you know that the picture is actually some dollops of ink on paper or a bunch of colored pixels on your PC monitor. Most people, even if their initial reaction is "no way", get on OK with this stage and you'll likely notice your mind getting slightly less worried at the thought of meeting a dog in real life.

But all that is quite tedious and can take what seems like forever. What do you do if your kids absolutely must have a dog and there's no way you can talk them out of it?
