My 7 year old son is scared stiff of dogs any hints on how to sort this problem .Please dont say buy one because we dont have the room
The thing about puppies is they are very hyper, jumping and stuff - and can sometimes overwhelm kids that are already afraid.
Sure - but newborn puppies unless u live near a person who breeds dogs or a farm - can be hard to come by...
Has he maybe had a bad experience with a dog at one stage?
Are either you or hour husband giving off "scared of dog" vibes?
If so, it might be good to work on it together, e.g. if it is your husband, get him to hold a small dog to show your child.
People always seem to think there has to be a bad experience with something to be afraid of it, but people are afraid of spiders, mice etc for no reason either. If people controlled their pets better - put on leads in public areas, dont let them roam around estates - then maybe his fear would not be so bad. Usually people dont like dogs cause they jump up on them etc and unfortunately you can't stop dogs doing this unless controlled.
