I was chased by a German shepherd when i was a child i got sooo scared even today i love dogs but im very scared of dogs that i dont know. It is quite crazy to see that you pushed the experiment this far but at the end you made a nice fury friend:)

hi @drawmeaship, thanks for reading and the comment :) yeah i have to admit its not a nice feeling to be chased by an animal which is showing aggression. us hoomans are pretty impressionable and for some phobias are easily formed, particularly in the early developmental stages of life, a traumatic experience can reinforce a fear association with any particular factor.
There are some desensitization processes you can go through if you wanted to reduce the fear response. learning about doggies behaviors and repeated exposure in safe environments, like pet store, strangers on walks with their puppies , etc.
yeah i evaluated my situation with the German Shepherd and made slow progress with him over time, together we nourished respect, understanding and trust. This was the key factor in the kind of progress we made... animals are people too ;) when we treat them as such, it can surprise us :)
I like it when you says that animals are poeple to. That is very true and we surely can have some amazing response from them once treated like so. Thank you for you tips:)
We are all sentient being trying to find our way through the life we have been given, but the greatest thing we can find is connection :)
