I grew up and spent most if my life with dogs which I call woofs...
Dogs can sense fear feromones and untrained dogs react to fear, it attracts them...I once had a girlfriend who was afraid of dogs and had to fence dogs off from her because her fear feromones drove them to her...
You might want to try to work on your confidence and state of mind. Imagine in your mind things that you could do to an agressive dog if you had powers or means. This empowering thoughts will reverse your fear thoughts and different feromones tgan fear feromones will be released and they will not approach you because they will be given this "chemical" message of utter agression. I was in the middle of a farel pack of dogs and all my colleagues shputed at me to get out of there before I get torn to pieces. But I calmly smoked my cigarette and no dog dared attack me not because of my love of animals but the thoughts I had in my mind thinking I could skin them with my bare hands, break their backs and bash them on rocks and otger horrid things. This "chemical" message was sent to them and they did not want to do anythong to me...
Dogs are very nice unless people misstreat tgem or do not take the time to train them socially...
I hope and wish you will overcome tgis problem and fear and make friends with lots of fun, loving dogs π€π and I am sorry you had unfprtumate experiences with dogs.
Havind treats on you also helpsπ (it's what my grandmotherdid with the huge shephard mioritic dogs when we went buying cheese directly from shephards).
I wish you well ππΆπ
