I don't think there is much you can do, some dogs just have a lot of hang ups, my last one was afraid of the dishwasher and deathly afraid of our fireplace, took me a while to catch on but he ran upstairs and into the master bed room each time we had one. LOL I don't blame him my husband makes huge fires and we have even had a few logs roll out. He was also afraid of the large exercise ball would not even walk near it if it was on the floor. Lola is afraid of very little, brings the ball to me while I am vacuuming, would stand on the FP hearth if I let her, and plays with the exercise ball, the one that is about 3' she likes when it bounces and runs after it and jumps up to bat it like a vollyball, it could roll on top of her and she jumps up and starts hitting it again, odd how different dogs can be. sounds like Peanut has a thing against loud noises, stuff like fireworks which I think is pretty normal, |
