You should try to pet a dog first. Then go to some of your friends house make sure they have a dog & stay there for a day or 2 &stay close to the dog to get to now him or her. Last thing to do is get a dog that you think you will warm up to.

Overcoming this fear of dogs is the same for dogs who are afraid of people, and it consists on little by little getting them get near a dog until eventually they are able to touch the dogs head. Obviously this has to be done very slowly with a lot of patience. For this kind of practice it is very important you use an easy going dog that is very well trained so that he does not scare the person who is already very frightened as it is. People that do not appreciate or know how to appreciate the beauty of these animals will never have the opportunity to know true loyal friendship and pure love.
I wish you luck.

Be around dogs, starting now. I don't know why you have your fear, but if you want to get over it, go to pet stores, friends houses with dogs, etc. Get over this.

find someone who has a friendly dog you can get to know...maybe an elderly neighbor or a friend would let you take it for walks, and get aqauinted with them.
Some dogs are very protective and scare most people, but there are a l;ot of really friendly ones...It's all in how theya re brought up and trained.

My friends mom used to be terribly afraid of dogs and even when she came to our house we would have to lock up our dog who is really small...i used to be afraid of dogs, but when i thought it was my fault the dog had to be locked up i gave in....their harmless just make sure you don't touch stray ones..my advice: get a small fluffy dog, they make you comfortable.

Hmm...so you have a fear of dogs.
To overcome your fear, you must become fear itself. Transform yourself into a dog at once!
Just kidding...I got that from Batman :D
Anyway, try to overcome your fear of dogs by spending more time with them at your local pet store or if any friends, neighbors, or family members have them. They are actually very friendly once you're comfortable with them and don't show that you're scared. You must train yourself to become comfortable around them.
Good luck!

They know your afriad and thats why they act mean around you. Dont be afraid and they will treat you with more "respect". You are the human they are the pet. Stop being scared.
