Cynophobia, a fear of dogs, is more common than it’s ever been. Stefani Cohen, author of Overcoming Your Child’s Fear of Dogs: A Step by Step Guide for Parents explains what this fear is, and why it happens (and it’s not usually from a bad experience). She explains the four ways which a fear of dogs develops in children.  Of course, dog bite prevention is always a good thing, and it’s helpful to understand dog language. And what can you do if your child has cynophobia?  Steve makes a big announcement about his new children’s book called Ask the Dog.  https://serve.castfire.com/audio/7819719/7819719_2025-11-18-195419.64kmono.mp3 Recent Posts Steve Dale’s Pet World Fixing dog behavior issues, Safety tips for the howlidays .cls-4{fill:#000;} Conversation with cat behavior specialist Rachel Geller .cls-4{fill:#000;} Steve Dale talks about his latest book: ‘Ask the Dog’ .cls-4{fill:#000;} An in-depth conversation on fear of dogs .cls-4{fill:#000;} How Steve Dale uses his talents to advocate for animals .cls-4{fill:#000;} Click for more
