[quote=Anonymous]I would ask in your neighborhood for help with older calm dogs who would be easier for her to be around. Make a chart of things you feel she could do to slowly expose herself to them. First, just being in a room with one for 2 minutes, while they are leashed. Then give her a sticker when she completes it (no, 13 year olds aren't too old for stickers!). Then maybe 5 then 10 minutes. Then ask her to sit near one. Then ask her to touch one on the back; and so on. Very small steps. And I would absolutely work on this, don't just let her stay out of houses with dogs for the rest of her life, it's unrealistic and unnecessary.[/quote]
