Everything about Fear Of Dogs totally explained
"
Cynophobia" is the clinical name for an abnormal
fear of dogs,
for example, a
specific phobia related to dogs. The
dog is a
domesticated superpredator; this in combination with increasing media coverage of
dog attacks could be contributing factors for development of this fear.
A 1992 study of cynophobia among children and adults reported that actually experiencing dog attacks does contribute to cynophobia. On the other hand, early harmless exposure to dogs seems to hamper conditioning that can lead to fear of dogs. Small children are more susceptible to acquiring this fear.
Pediatrical psychologists explain that gradual exposure to dogs may help to prevent the development of cynophobia.
Treatment for cynophobia is similar to treatment for other
specific phobias.
