    Wexford. I've tried that. She has petted one or two quiet dogs on certain occasions. But she is still afraid of all strange dogs and all big dogs.

    Why? Does her fear stem from a bad experience with a dog?

    Paul McKenna helped Tara Palmer Tomkinson with her snake phobia.

    Maybe a hypnotherapist could help?
