Assisting A Child Get Rid Of His Fright Of Canines

By Jonathan A Bearclaw


I was curious if a canine repellent could assist a nephew of mine defeat his dread of dogs. Johnny gets frozen at even the slightest noise of a dog barking thus I see the gravity of his fear. Blame that on his traumatic experience of witnessing his own daddy getting attacked by a nasty canine while he was 3 years old.

I spoke with a psychologist friend to be able to ask if it was entirely possible for Johnny to conquer this kind of fright. It had been he who had suggested that utilizing non-deadly animal spray might come in useful. He mentioned Johnny could at first bear witness to fending off canines making use of one.

Self-defense sprays disorient a dog by dulling their own sense of smell as well as triggering extreme discomfort. Their effects are short-term, and cause no long-term damage. These are also safe to use on humans.

Even though dog sprays possess an effective distance of up to 10 feet, Johnny could be very uncomfortable being too close to the action. His mother advised that her own child remain in the automobile and watch from there.

At 8, my own nephew is still a little child, even though he insists he is not. We detailed the experiment, saying that was for his safety to know how to protect himself from this kind of danger. Besides, he did not need to be near a dog.

All of us went to a place considered a hangout of canines, several of which can turn out to be vicious as soon as they perceive threat. I got near them, with a bat inside my hand to demonstrate possible aggressiveness.

The Mace canine repellent is a 17-gram cylinder with a flip top security cover in order to stop accidental release. I went up to the canines. One revealed its fangs and growled. Making certain Johnny got an excellent visual, I sprayed coming from about 8 feet away.

The dogs yelped, attempted scrubbing their eyes, and also completely forgot about me. The dog repellent worked. And we hope we have made some progress so as to make Johnny recognize there is a way for him to safeguard himself from dog assaults.
