🐾 Cyanophobia: A Big Word for Big Feelings
Cyanophobia is the fear of dogs—and yes, it affects both adults and children.
For some, it stems from a past experience. For others, there’s no clear reason—they just feel afraid. And that’s okay.
The good news?
Fear can be worked with. Emotions can shift. And with time, patience, and the right support, it’s possible to feel differently.
Dogs, like people, are individuals—each one unique. Learning to see them this way is the first step toward change.
If you’re ready to explore your fear in a safe, compassionate space—with the support of a kind human and a well-trained, affectionate dog—click the link to schedule a call and find out more.
You don’t have to face this alone. 💛
