I’d say the solution is circumstantial.
I, as well, was terrified of dogs as a child.
The reason is unknown but my mom suspects it was because my paternal grandparents’ great dane had loomed over me, paws on my shoulders as an infant.
When a dog approached me, I’d scream, possibly cry and run like an antelope from a lion.
Any friend or friend of my mom’s whose house I’d spend time in had to put their dog outside or in another room. The only exception was my best friend’s first golden retriever (her family is now on their third) who was over 10 years old and did nothing but lay around.
Ugh, I can’t recall the exact year, but it had to be either the summer after 8th or 9th grade.
I went to Lake Tahoe with my best friend and a second friend. The second’s friend’s parents were the host parents and they had a Beramiese Mountain dog, Quanah.
We stayed in a cabin and the parents are sweet as can be, they, of course, kept the dog away from me as they always did at their own house.
One morning, however, when I awoke, I came down from our room on the second floor and Quanah approached me. I did not scream, cry or run. Something instead inspired me to reach out and pet her.
That was it. My phobia soon after diminished entirely.
I now own two dogs.
R.I.P Quanah. That dog will always have a special place in my heart.
You said that your daughter is afraid of their teeth, do you know why that is? Has she been bitten by a dog? Or has she witnessed a dog bite?
It might help in her case to show her videos on Youtube of service dogs (i.e Seeing eye dogs and wheelchair assist dogs) and owners, particularly children playing or exchanging affection with their dogs to illustrate for her that dogs can be loving, attentive and helpful.
If you’re going to attempt to introduce a dog into your home, then be sure to teach her to read dog body language so that she’ll understand how to interact with it (when it wants to be fed, played with, walked etc) and how not to.
Though if you can’t identify the cause of the phobia or if it’s messing up her life, she may require therapy.
The cat phobia, I’ve got nothing on.
