Default What are Yorkies fears, irrational or rational....

Jackson has a few really weird quirks....

He's terrified of the fly swatter. Well it doesn't even have to be a fly swatter, but anything you are using to kill a fly.... he will run and hide under the bed and it makes me so sad. This is a dog who has never been hit or come close to being hit in his life! He's just terrified.

Now this fear I understand a bit more: he's terrified of the oven. What happened was last year, my mom was cooking and the oven started smoking and so our smoke alarm went off.... now I am sure to a dog, it's WAY louder than it is for us so I can imagine how this would be scary. So he went a few months that every time we would turn the oven on to cook, he would run away and hide. Well, he had FINALLY gotten over this for the most part, he was able to sit in the kitchen and watch us bake and well just about a month ago, it happened AGAIN! Smoke alarm went off. So now the poor dog is terrified again... and he knows the difference too, like he does not care about toasters, toaster ovens, microwaves, the stove... it's ONLY the oven, and he's scared of it at other houses too now when someone is cooking!

These are his 2 main fears I can think about and we work on them all the time. What about your pups?
