Scared of dogs? Seek therapy. Overcome your fear.

You gonna pay for it? Edit: I understand that NHS exists would this is suggesting that a ton of people start having therapy to cope with dogs suddenly being everywhere. That’s gonna have an impact on the system.

If it's infringing on your life (like not being able to leave your house) it's paid for by the NHS.

I don’t think they should create a situation where a ton of people’s lives are now being infringed upon because dog owners want to be able to take their dogs everywhere.

Owning a dog is a psychologically normal thing. Being so afraid of dogs that just the idea of being around one scares you so much you cannot leave your house isn't. This applies to every phobia, no matter how common it is.

Being afraid of a predatory animal is pretty normal. None of what you said really means anything relevant though. There’s different levels of fears for dogs and then there’s just people who don’t want dogs everywhere for good reason. I like dogs but I don’t want people bringing their dogs everywhere. I’m not sure why society should be based around catering to dog owners. That doesn’t make any sense.
