Like LuckyGirl and others I wouldn't call this a dog phobia.
It's a natural fear of big noisy aggressive dogs, which I share because of past experiences.
Although I also agree that they're only doing their job of protecting their home and family.
Different breeds for different jobs - not all the same.
Nandalot a puppy could be a good idea but make sure it's the right breed with the right parents.
