How to lose an insane fear of dogs?

My bro is petrified of dogs so when we go to a park we end up runing around and away from all the dogs. Is there a way for him to lose his fear of harmless creatures?

Thanks

    He has to want to end it. Then start small with small puppies. If you have any friend with a small dog start there and work up. My mom was terrified by dogs. When I was a little kid she pushed me out of the way to get away from a dog. I got a puppy and brought her home and as she grew my mom's fear of dogs disappeared. That is the best option but might not be possible in your situation so start small with small dogs or puppies and where the dog is on a leash or something.

    I believe that may be a ordinary response. None of us wish to accept loss of life, it doesn't matter what. We want to go on and reside. Relatively that was once put into our hearts with the aid of our Creator. Even once we understand the truth about demise and the hope for the longer term consistent with the Bible, we nonetheless are shaken when a cherished one is all of a sudden taken from us. How wondeful it'll be when we will be capable to assert, "No more Tears - Nor extra demise"! Revelation 21:three New global variation (NIV) three and that i heard a loud voice from the throne pronouncing, “look! God’s living situation is now among the persons, and he's going to dwell with them. They are going to be his folks, and God himself will likely be with them and be their God. Four ‘he will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will likely be no extra dying’[a] or mourning or crying or agony, for the historical order of matters has passed away.” Footnotes: Revelation 21:4 Isaiah 25:8 Isaiah 25:8 World English Bible (internet) eight He has swallowed up dying endlessly! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his individuals faraway from off all of the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

    Search up Ivan Pavlov (a psychologist who figured out why phobias are created.) and about his dog experiment. Have a dog around and pleasure yourself (non sexually).

    He needs to see a doctor who specializes in the treatment of phobias and he also has to WANT to get over his fear. You can't force someone not to be afraid.
