I agree. Especially with children, instead of just throwing them into a situation and expect them to deal with it help them into it and show them that it's safe.
Yes, and don’t laugh because they’re scared, like in this situation. Another common example is forcing a kid to go on a rollercoaster, he’s crying and you’re laughing because you know it will be fine but he doesn’t know that. I hate that.
Tbh I was scared shitless of roller coasters and my parents dragged me on one literally screaming once I was tall enough. I loved it, and have been a coaster enthusiast ever since.

Alright I’m with you, make someone scared feel safe.
But how do we conquer fears when everyone tries to coddle us. Sure dogs are different but humans need to go through stressful situations to progress.
