It's a large greyhound, who have I have met through a Glass door. I have had some hypnotherapy before but clearly it doesn't seem to have worked.
It just fills me with dread for days before.
Meeting half way is not an option I'm afraid, maybe biting the bullet is the way to go, with a stiff drink

Go! They are compromising.

This is a good example of give and take - you need to go minxie or find somewhere else you can all meet up. I think your DH needs some TLC when he comes back.

Couldn't the dog go into the kitchen or something?

If you live 2 hours apart why not find somewhere in the middle where you can spend time together? A small town, a beauty spot, NT property, nice restaurant, anything. It would only be an hour away and you could have a nice time together and heal the breach. That's important, before it blows up out of all proportion.
What kind of dog is it? A Rottweiler? APoodle?

Go! If they are prepared to put the dog in a cage they are meeting you halfway so you should compromise too especially if your Dh does a lot for your dad.

Can you get treatment for it?

Hi,
So, I have a dog phobia and I've had it for as long as I can remember.
My Mil has a Dog and I haven't been there for a long time, (she lives two hours away) it worries me for days before hand and him indoors threw me last night by saying he wants me go with him on Mother's day to go visit. We had already booked to go for a Meal here or so I thought.
He told me I was selfish and making excuses, I don't Understand why I would be making excuses other than I'm scared of dogs.OH said they would put the dog in his cage, but that make me feel guilty. You can't keep a dog in a Cage all day and I swear Fil is hating me as his dog is locked in a cage all day. OH does a lot for my aged dad and I feel bad I can't reciprocate
So this Morning he's got up and gone out without word.
I don't know what to do
