Maya is 9 years old and has a phobia of dogs. When Maya was 5 years old, a large dog barked loudly in her face and knocked her over, which terrified her. Maya is now so afraid that if she hears a dog barking in the distance, she starts to tremble. Yesterday, she ran inside the house and locked the back door when she saw a neighbour walking a dog past her garden, refusing to go back outside.
