Cynophobia is an intense, persistent fear of dogs. It may stem from a past experience, something you witnessed, or simply feel like it has always been there. Whatever the cause — your reaction is real, it's not "silly," and it is highly treatable. Because the fear lives in your subconscious, willpower alone rarely shifts it.
Common Signs & Feelings
When Fear of Dogs Holds You Back
Everyday Avoidance
Changing your route, skipping walks, saying no to visits or outdoor events. It can feel like the world is shrinking around you — and it's exhausting.
Physical & Emotional Toll
Shaking, sweating, nausea, tight chest — these reactions happen before you've even had time to think. Living on constant alert drains your energy and peace of mind.
Isolation & Embarrassment
It can feel hard to explain — others may say "don't be silly" or "he won't hurt you." So you stop telling people. You stay home. You miss out.
Logic Won't Shift It
Your conscious mind may know most dogs are friendly — but your subconscious still sounds the alarm. That's why reasoning doesn't work. You need to speak the mind's deeper language.
Gentle Rewiring — No Dog Contact Ever
Unlike exposure-based approaches that bring you face-to-face with what you fear, the Rewind technique works entirely through your own internal imagery — safely, gently, and at a pace you set. We never use real dogs in sessions.
Find the Origin
We gently identify when the pattern began — without overwhelming you. Understanding the root helps the mind begin to let go.
Rewind & Reset
Using the internationally recognised Rewind protocol, we process the memory in reverse — desensitising the emotional charge, so it no longer triggers panic.
Install New Calm
We replace the automatic fear response with a sense of safety and confidence — so when you see a dog, your mind simply registers "it's just a dog."
Anchor & Reinforce
Self-hypnosis techniques mean you can strengthen the change yourself. Confidence grows with every walk — permanently.
What Happens in Your Sessions
Free Consultation
No obligation, no pressure. We talk through your experience, what you'd like to change, and exactly how the Rewind method works. You decide — entirely at your own pace.
2–4 Sessions Typical
Most clients notice a real difference within 2–4 sessions. Each session is 50–60 minutes, fully confidential. In-person in Swindon or online — equally effective.
Your Safety Is Priority
You remain fully aware and in control throughout. We never show photos, play sounds, or bring animals into sessions. All work happens internally — safely within your own mind.
Fixed Price Programme
Fear of dogs treatment is included in the Phobia Reduction Programme — up to 5 sessions, fixed price £360. Or pay-as-you-go £75/session. See fees page.
Serving Swindon, Cirencester & UK-Wide
