Pack Leader
Help your child break free from their fear.
There's nothing worse than seeing your child struggling with a debilitating fear of dogs and not knowing how to help them.
This program is designed to give you the skills and knowledge you need to confidently lead your child to a life free from fear.
Built on the same evidence-based approach as Unleashed, adapted specifically for children and the parents supporting them.
Built on real clinical expertise.
These aren't generic anxiety programs. Every module draws on over a decade of clinical experience and expertise, you won't find anywhere else.
No time limit. No pressure.
Work through the program at your own pace, when it suits you. Lifetime access means you can revisit any module whenever you need to.
Get help, anywhere in the world.
The Cynophobia Clinic has helped clients across four continents. Our world-first online programs bring that same clinical expertise to you — no matter where you're based.

The expertise behind the programs.
Â
The Cynophobia Clinic was founded in 2016 by Anthony Berrick, a registered psychologist and certified dog trainer who now works exclusively with people struggling with a fear of dogs.
Anthony's combination of expertise in both human psychology and canine behaviour is the key to his clients' success.
Most psychologists who treat phobias have never worked with a dog in the room; most dog trainers aren't qualified to treat anxiety conditions. Anthony's combined skillset and clinical experience makes his approach genuinely unique.
Since opening the world's first psychology clinic dedicated to helping people with cynophobia, Anthony has helped hundreds of clients — from young children, to adults who have lived with their phobia for decades — go from fear to freedom around dogs.
His experience helping clients all around the world via telehealth, has taught Anthony exactly what it takes to guide someone through their fear of dogs remotely.
