A dog can be the best friend and favorite of the whole family. These cheerful and loyal animals more than once helped a person in housekeeping and brightened up his loneliness. Nevertheless, there are people who do not just dislike dogs, but are terrified of them.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to realize that fear of dogs is a problem for you. It is quite possible that you live in a densely populated urban area where no one keeps dogs, and you do not plan to associate your life with dogs. Then you won't be able to get rid of the fear, and you don't need it. If you become aware of the problem, then this is the first step towards curing your phobia.
Step 2
Try to get used to the dogs a little. If you have a walking area in your area, go there and watch the owners train their animals. Don't get too close - you are just starting to get rid of your phobia. Try to come to the dog playground several times a week.
Step 3
If you have friends with well-bred dogs, visit them. Let the landlord give you a couple of minutes to be with the dog wagging its tail, and then ban him in the room. With each visit, try to communicate with the animal a little longer than the last time. Tell the landlord that you are trying to get rid of the phobia, he will certainly be willing to help you. The main thing is not to go to your friends, whose dogs are aggressive and can bite - this will aggravate your fear.
Step 4
Once you've learned how to get along with your friend's individual dog, you can move on. Just try to ignore any dogs you come across. You have already seen that not every dog dreams of biting you. If you can ignore the walking dogs, they will not be interested in you.
Step 5
As a final step, you can have a puppy yourself. It's incredibly difficult to be afraid of a 2-month-old baby who considers you a mom. And even after the dog grows up, he will still remain a big-footed pet for you.
