[quote=Anonymous]My kids were fairly extreme in their fear of dogs. They would still walk places, but reluctantly and it wouldn't be much fun. I'd try to slowly expose her to super docile or old dogs. A healthy fear of dogs is a good thing, but the flip side is that a dog that will be problematic to your child can sense their fear and will elevate their own behavior because of it. I know because my once terrified kids begged for a dog during the pandemic and we now own a dog who reacts strongly to people's fear (but is otherwise ok around people/kids).[/quote]
