So,I'm extremely scared of dogs.....I can not go anywhere close to where a dog is,and attimes I get dizzy when I find myself close to dogs especially when they bark.I can't even visit my friends that own dogs,please help me out as I see so many of you here are dog lovers.how can I get over my fear?

Hello there,

It is natural for you to be scared of dogs, considering the fact that u didn't grow up living with one. But there are ways to get pass your fears.

1. Put it at the back of your mind that dogs are naturally human friendly as long as they don't see u as a threat to them. You can start by making friends with someone that owns a pet breed such as lhasa apso, pug, etc.

2. Dogs love treats just like the NPF loves bribe. you can always buy a dog's loyalty by being his friend, giving him food and all. Only then can u understand the dog.

3. Learn to commune with dogs. Build a chemistry with them, draw a connect between ur mind and theirs. Do u know dogs speak, but to only those who know how to listen. Dogs are the only creatures on earth who will never betray you. If u feed humans, clothe them and provide them with shelter, that doesn't mean they can't betray you (ask Jesus), but a dog never betrays his master.

4. And lastly, if you meet a dog for the first time, the worst it will do is give u a scratch or a little bite, it doesn't usually get past that, after which u become friends (tho there are some crazy breeds u can't try it with o), so u need to develop courage and make friends with a lot of dogs as possible.

I wish u best of luck. Put ur fears behind you and kill ur phobia for dogs. It's always a wonderful experience around dogs.

Cheers!!!

As Arcbay rightly said, get familiar with pet breeds like ihasa apso, samoyed, Eskimo, pug and others. That would help kill / minimise your phobia for dogs. However, seek the owner's permission before doing so.

Dogs are lovely creatures. I can bet you'd end up loving them if you open your heart to it.
