Read that, apparently 105 decibels will keep a dog off a sofa.

I don't really want to scare dogs. I just want to be able to get from the bus stop to my front door.
I have a dog phobia, it is not a dislike for dogs in anyway I I'd hate any harm to come to any dogs, it's just this overwhelming fear that more and more rules my life. I can't walk out of a shop if someone ties a dog to the door, if I try I completely breakdown. I now know that there are 3 dogs on my way from the bus stop-home and their owners sometimes just let them out without a lead or anything, so now I cannot get to my front door without nearly passing out (it's like my throat swallows and I can't breathe properly).
I'm a confident, practical, reasonable person and really hate this side of myself. It is pathetic for a 29 year old to be scared of dogs and when there are no dogs around I always give myself this great speech about what I'm going to next time, but it never works.
I'm also afraid of dogs that don't exist (completely insane, I know). If I have to walk down a quiet street with not many people around or somewhere for me to get into, I imagine dogs everywhere, I can even hear them. I'm not a wacko, I promise! (I hear you say 'right, whatever...')
To try and make myself feel a bit better and give more confidence I thought I could get myself one of those rape alarms that let out this really loud noise. Not that I would necessarily use it, but just to make me feel safer. It's cheaper than having to get taxis all the time!
I bet none of you were expecting that for an answer!

thankyou for your honest answer. I dont believe that scaring them will actually help as it could annoy them. Try having scrummy dog treats for them and if they come too close throw them away from you to divert the dogs attention.
I understand irrational fears are very real and it is good you recognise this is what is happening. Try posting your problem in body and soul of health and fitness and people may have lots of self help tips. Good luck XXXXXX
