Small Talk
Special Feature
Phobias are a specific fear, which an animal
does not naturally 'get used to'. These animals
will not get better and repeated exposure to the
fearful event just reinforces the problem, leading
to it getting progressively worse over time.
The sooner the fear is tackled, the better!
In addition, animals have very acute hearing;
loud bangs and whistles may cause them
pain in their ears.
