A dog can be the best friend and favorite of the whole family. These funny and loyal animals more than once helped a person in housekeeping and brightened up his loneliness. Nevertheless, there are people who not only do not like dogs, but are afraid of panic.
Instruction manual
one
The first thing you need to realize is that fear of dogs is a problem for you. It is possible that you live in a densely populated urban area where no one holds dogs, and you do not plan to associate your life with dogs in any way. Then you will not be able to get rid of fear, and you don’t need it. If you recognize the problem, then this is the first step to cure phobia.

Try to get used to the dogs little by little. If you have an area for their walking in the area, go there and watch how the owners train their animals. Don't get too close - you just started getting rid of the phobia. Try to come to the dog site several times a week.

If you have friends with well-bred dogs, go visit them. Let the landlord give you a couple of minutes to stay with a dog wagging your tail, and then ban him in the room. With each visit, try to communicate with the animal a little longer than last time. Tell the landlord that you are trying to get rid of the phobia, he will surely help you willingly. The main thing - do not go to your friends whose dogs are aggressive and can bite - this will aggravate your fear.

Once you have learned to get along with your friend’s individual dog, you can move on. Try to just ignore all the dogs you meet. You have already seen that not every dog wants to bite you. If you can not pay attention to walking dogs, you will become not interested in them.
5
As a final step, you can get a puppy yourself. It is incredibly difficult to be afraid of a two-month-old baby who considers you to be a mother. And even after the dog grows up, for you he will still remain a big-footed favorite.
Useful advice
