Just that really. Dogs make me nervous due to getting bitten by a dog when I was about 8 or 9.
Am wary of them and struggle to read their body language. I tend to ignore them if I have to be around them but I can only do that for short periods of time and I start to get freaked out.
This is really for any dog but particularly for medium and bigger dogs. It's something I've lived with for a long time but I'm fed up with it now. Have tried hypnotherapy and have brought it up in counselling but nothing seems to have worked. Also tried to get a dog once, for my husband and also to try and get over my phobia, but that was a mistake because I couldn't cope so we had to rehome him. Long story condensed but I really did try with the dog. I am worried its such a deep rooted phobia I'm never going to be able to get over it. Tia x
