How do you deal with fear/panic triggers? (For example, dogs)

Hi all, I’ve been slowly introducing my new cat to walks (more like “stands”, amirite). Today was his third, and he had a great time pouncing on bugs and exploring under a bush… until a very nice lady with her very nice dog walked out of my apartment building. Apparently my cat does not like dogs. Many hisses and attempts to escape ensued. (This was a good test that the harness is well fitted!) I took him inside immediately after.

At what age do you start adventuring your cat?

My new cat is fearless, and I think he’d love adventuring. However, I fear that he is too full of crime and energy for now.

edit: he’s about ten months old.
