How To Stop Your Fear of Dogs

Being scared of dogs is quite common. The fear is quite often triggered when we're young. Possibly you were happily playing with a dog and without warning your dog got upset and started growling at you. If that happens when you're older, no worries, you'd likely not have an issue. But when we're younger, almost instantly your mind is trained to think that dogs are bad news.

Since we learn quickly when we put our mind to it, this impression sticks with us. Whether we like the idea or not.

So what can you do to get rid of your fear of dogs? Deep down, most dogs would rather be your friend and be fed dog treats every now and then.

You could tell yourself that "dogs are friendly" but you and I both know that you'll dismiss that thought in an instant. Especially as there's almost certainly a voice in your head screaming (in true pantomime fashion) "oh no they aren't!"

The next thing to try is to get a little bit closer to dogs so that you see them but there is zero chance that you'll actually be nose to nose or or encounter it jumping onto you and lick you all over your face. Looking at pictures is a good way to progress here. Unless you're truly paranoid, you know that the picture is really just some ink on a page or pixels on your computer monitor. Most people, even if their initial reaction is "no way", get on OK with this stage and you'll probably find your mind getting slightly more relaxed at the thought of coming face to face with a dog in real life.

But all that is quite tedious and we all like instant results nowadays. Plus going the slow route won't work if your children absolutely must have a dog and there's no way you can talk them out of it?
