🐾 Fear of Dogs ~ Cynophobia:

A Big Word for Big Feelings

Cynophobia 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. 💛

Ziggy has already helped one little girl aged 4 who was frightened of BIG dogs, Ziggy is a tall Labrador so I think he qualifies as BIG. Daisy went from being afraid of BIG dogs to scratching Ziggys tummy just in one meeting.
