Geocache Description:

This is the seventh in a cache series based on phobias. Most everybody has a phobia of some type, what is yours?

So what is cynophobia (si'n?-fo'be-?)?
It is an abnormal, irrational, and persistent fear of dogs. Cynophobia is not one that gradually develops, but usually stems from one traumatic event in early childhood such as being chased or bitten. Sufferers from cynophobia experience anxiety even though they realize that most dogs pose no threat. To avoid dogs, they may barricade yards or refuse to travel except in an enclosed vehicle.
"Cynophobia" is derived from the Greek "kyon" (dog) and "phobos"(fear).

There was a canine obedience school located here when the cache was created, it is no longer here. But there is an animal hospital down at the corner.

Be careful when opening the cache. Don't rip the top apart.
