What is Cynohphobia?
Cynohphobia is the fear of dogs, great and small. The phobia is not limited to just large dogs perceived as aggressive like Pit Bulls or Rottweilers: a Cynophobic could be afraid of even very small dogs like a Chihuahua or a miniature poodle. Though not as common as snake phobias (Ophidiophobia) or spider phobias (Arachnophobia) a dog phobia is still very problematic, as so many people love and own dogs!
The origins of the word Ophidiophobia is Greek, derived from the word ‘Kyno’ which translates to 'dog' and the word 'phobia' which means dread or fear.

Interesting Fact:
Dogs are very sensitive and can sense fear. Being afraid around dog will make them more hesitant around us. This can perpetuate the false belief that all dogs are unfriendly and a threat for Cynophobic people.
Cynohphobia Causes:
Most people develop a fear of dogs because they had a traumatic experience with one such as being bitten, especially at a young age. This is why people can be afraid of even a very small dog. Or something like seeing a scary film or image with an aggressive dog or wolf might trigger the phobia. It can even be the sound dogs make like growling, snarling, howling and loud barking that creates the fear for people, especially people with the fear of loud noises, Phonophobia.
Another reason for Cynophobia, like so many phobias, is a learned behaviour. If a parent or sibling has a fear of dogs it is very easy to accidentally teach someone else to have the same fear, especially if they are younger. If a parent acts hesitant around dogs and pulls their children away, a child will learn an association of negativity and fear around dogs. How parents support their children to be confident in general can play a big part in a person's feelings around dogs and other animals.

They might break out in a sweat and become paralyzed with fear, unable to react. Others might instantly run away as fast as they can. Some people might even feel faint when they come into contact with dogs. In the most severe cases, people can have these type of reactions to even filmed recording of dogs and pictures of dogs.
