Fear Of Dogs ...

By xxxjapanese_masaharuxxx August 16, 2020 9 answers Last updated August 16, 2020

Hi, I want to share my story, which is very crazy. I have an irresistible fear of dogs, not only of street, homeless, but also of pets. I'm not afraid of being bitten or anything. I just feel something like horror. I can't describe it. People laugh at me as I run away from the dogs. It's awful. I try to adjust, not to run away from them, but when I see them I am horrified. HELP !! What to do???

   I understand you, I am also terrified of dogs. It doesn't matter what - small, big, home or street ... I'm just dying of fear and running away! Two years ago I was bitten by a dog, the bad thing was that it chased me and it was harder to escape. I've been even more scared since then. The dog stood taller than me as I stood up, remembering how I screamed and screamed in fear. Finally, the dog ran up the river, and the owner ran after him. I was 12 then. My friends laughed at me, but if it had torn me apart, they would have laughed again. There is nothing funny in being afraid of you, I am just like you, and everyone has some fear. I even think it's a phobia, I think he called it kinophobia. Try to stay away from dogs, I do. * Yasa

   Dogs won't do anything to you. They generally attack if they are threatened, afraid or just hungry. My mother is also afraid of dogs and I don't understand her at all. When I go to the village on the weekends, no dog has bitten me. And let me tell you, they are not small, they are even quite large. If you know what a Karakachan woman is, you will understand what kind of dog it is. I was attacked by 3 of them at once, but keeping calm, balance and a little courage I drove them away. What I want to tell you is to stay calm and not panic. Making sudden movements further challenges the dog. If you still think you do not have the courage to face a dog - there are countless ways. I know of some sprays that when you spray them against the dog chasing him. I don't know how much it helps. And even if it helps, I hope you don't spray it on any dog ​​you see on the street. Success!

   So №2 won't do anything to us, why was I lying in a hospital torn then? Why did my dog ​​pounce on my back without me realizing I was already on the ground. Why do I have 58 stitches? Do you know what it's like to feel like a steak in a lion's cage? Do you know how to live by constantly holding a spray in your hand while walking on the street?

   Hey, this fear makes the dogs chase you !!! And the sharp movements make them attack you even more! Domestic dogs will do NOTHING just keep you away from the homeless around them!

   From 2: So number 3, they won't do anything to you. There are dogs that attack without the person doing anything to them, but there is a reason for that - the owners. Especially if they are 16-year-old boys directing their dogs against homeless, domestic dogs, and even people. I share this because I have witnessed such ugly scenes and I have seen a man resent the dog, even though he saw that all the blame was on the owner. And I can give you an example with myself - I was alone with 80 kg. a dog I saw for the first time without the owners next to me and nothing did to me. We were playing, the dog was jumping, running, attacking me. And there was no problem, I'm alive and well. But I'm sure if I had made a wrong move, he would have torn me apart, because he was a watchdog after all, and I was in his territory, in the yard. And this is not an isolated case. I love dogs and I don't miss a moment to pet or play with someone. Even if they are homeless. Now some will probably say how can I pet a dirty dog, right? And I've heard that, I'm not asleep. I have 2 dogs at home that used to be homeless. The older one once attacked a woman when she came to visit us. He hadn't gone to bite her, had he? rejoices. He used to be afraid of people because they beat him, they let him fight other dogs, but now he was happy with people. And what do you think happened? The woman kicked him, hit him on the head with her fist and started to take a stone to KEEP HIM OUT. O. O He then bit her on the shoulder. All this happened before my eyes and once again I was convinced how limited a person can be and how he sees everything only from his point of view. And so you can draw your own conclusions. I'm not saying that every dog ​​that runs towards you just wants to enjoy you, but you have to judge everything well. Otherwise, I'm more afraid of people than dogs.

   Well, number 5. Imagine that my favorite python wants to be happy to wrap itself around your neck because of his ignorance of "body language", you do not understand that he is just playing and you start pulling and hitting him, as a result, the snake bites you (and the pythons bite). Then who will be to blame ??? After all, no one needs to know how to treat the entire animal kingdom in order to survive in the city. Personally, when I see a dog running towards me, I instinctively catch something heavy with which to defend myself. And I think that's the most normal reaction. And again, we come to the part where we talk about the middle ground. Personally, I think it's the dog's fault, it's just not tested well. The dog can't jump on everyone's neck, even to make him happy. A father had recently run over a dog,

   And I die of fear of dogs, and every morning on the way to work I constantly meet stray dogs and shiver with terror. I go out in the dark in the morning and there are almost no people on the streets. I don't know, I'm going crazy with fear ...

   I am also afraid of dogs. My relatives got a little used to it. What irritates me the most are these packs of street dogs, which are everywhere ... I can't go home in peace, I can't go out in peace. I'm tired of constantly going around detours, just to avoid the dogs. Very soon I signaled to Ecobalance for an aggressive pack of dogs in front of my block. They responded, I do not deny, but their answer amazed me. They could not answer whether a dog would show aggression in its natural environment. And until then .. It was castrated and that's it. The case remained there. But what annoys me the most are pet dog owners who leave them free without being on a leash. And I am even more afraid of domestic dogs than street dogs ... Because they are more inclined to show aggression towards strangers. And just don't tell me that people are to blame for being bitten by dogs. Because I have personally witnessed how the pack in question in front of my block went to mothers with prams. And I was being chased by a dog that I didn't even notice, to whom I had challenged him in any way. It's just that dogs are not on the streets, and pets need to be on a leash.

   Ask a friend of yours if she has a dog (size doesn't matter). Ask her if she bites. If it doesn't bite, reach out to sniff you and don't panic. Then, sniffing you, caress him lightly on the head and calmly without feeling fear.
