Yes I know it's their dog and their house but dd20m has just developed a total fear of dogs. When one comes too near she trembles like a leaf and makes this yowling noise not like her usual cry.
I'm trying to desensitze her with a toddler version of graduated exposure ie down to the park to look at the dogs then a bit closer etc. etc.
At friends house their dog jumps all over us and she's petrified. Also this is going to confirm rather than disconfirm her anxiety.
Is it unresonable to ask them to put the dog in another room/the garden for an hour? Or is it me who's being unfair?

to think that when we go to visit friends on a planned visit for an hour they could put their dog in another room as dd is terrified?
