Empowering children to overcome fear of dog

By Dusanka Prelc Premate | President of SLO Society for Dog-Assisted Therapy

We completed a significant update of our Empowering Children to Overcome Fear of Dog Manual which has undergone a comprehensive technical review and final content revisions.

The latest version reflects critical insights and includes material for therapy work as games, stories, step by step instructions for one to become fearless.

STEPS TO OVERCOME FEAR OF DOGS
Overcoming fear of dogs involves a comprehensive approach with guided steps:

ASSESSMENT OF FEAR OF DOGS
MEETING WITHOUT A DOG
MEETING WITH A DOG AT A DISTANCE
CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH A DOG (WITH AND WITHOUT A BARRIER)
INDIRECT AND DIRECT APPROACHING OF THE DOG
DYNAMIC ACTIVITIES WITH THE DOG
INTRODUCING OTHER DOGS
