I have been afraid of dogs since I was a child, and I still am. Is this normal in any way at all?

    Beagels, Shitzus, Border Collies, Labradors, there's tons of dogs out there that you just got to meet.

    Have you tried overcoming your fear? You could try interacting with puppies or small dogs such as chihuahuas for a start and move your way up.

    I was scared of them them as a child too, I guess I've mostly got over it, but I'd say it's normal. And dgs can certainly be dangerous, so it's not not even really irrational.

    I think it all depends on your level of fear. Lots of people have phobias. So being afraid of dogs sounds like a completely normal fear. Now if you're peeing yourself over just the sight of a Chihuahua, then you might have a problem.
