The Essex Dog Training Centre in Brentwood, Essex, runs a Cynophobia class (which is free of charge!) every Wednesday evening, which helps Children to overcome their fear of dogs. The class is strictly supervised by Roy Dyer, the founder of the Training Centre and the Cynophobia class. All of the Dog handlers that take part are volunteers and have a great passion for Dogs and particularly for this class. Just seeing the Children growing in confidence is reward enough and better than any payment!

We have recently set up a Facebook group called: "Cynophobia Assistance Dogs - Essex Dog Training Centre" and there is some information on there about us and our class.

We are not backed by a governing medical body, nor do we make any claims that we can cure. However, we have had some very good results and the Children seem to enjoy what we do. Some have even gone on to get their own Dogs. We have also had a visit from HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, who seemed very impressed with us.

We are pleased that some of the Parents and Guardians are now asking to join our Facebook group and feedback received from them, so far, has been very complimentary. It would be lovely if you could spare some time to visit our page to see what we do.

We would love to try and help Children to overcome their fear of Dogs.
