Teaching A Toddler Overcome Dog Fear

By Jonathan A Bearclaw


I would like to learn if a canine repellent could aid a nephew of mine conquer his fear of dogs. Johnny halts at even the slightest sound of a canine barking thus I understand the seriousness of his own fear. Blame this on his traumatic experience of viewing his own dad getting attacked by a nasty canine while he was 3 years old.

I spoke with a psychologist pal to be able to inquire if it was entirely possible for Johnny to rise above this kind of fear. It had been he who had proposed that making use of non-deadly animal spray might be useful. He said Johnny could at first bear witness to warding off canines using one.

Self-defense sprays confuses a dog by dulling their own sense of smell as well as causing intense discomfort. Their effects are short-term, and cause absolutely no permanent injury. These are also risk-free to make use of on humans.

Even though puppy sprays have an effective distance of approximately 10 feet, Johnny could be extremely uneasy getting very near to the action. His mom recommended that her own boy remain inside the vehicle and observe from there.

At 8, my own nephew remains to be a little kid, even though he insists he isn't. We discussed the experiment, stating that was for his own safety to know how to shield himself towards this kind of danger. Besides, he didn't have to be close to a canine.

We drove to a location considered to be a hangout of canines, most of which can end up being vicious when they perceive threat. I got near them, having a bat within my own hand to demonstrate possible aggressiveness.

The Mace canine repellent is a 17-gram container which has a flip top safety cap to eliminate accidental discharge. I went up to the dogs. One showed its fangs as well as growled. Making sure Johnny got a great sight, I sprayed from around 8 feet away.

The canines yelped, tried out rubbing their eyes, and also fully forgot about me. The canine repellent did the trick. And we hope all of us have made a little improvement to make Johnny understand there is a means for him to take care of himself towards dog attacks.
