I would try to do something he loves to do and take his mind off of it. When I first got Wallee he was terrified of the vacuum and barked his head off. I didn't want that to become the weekly behavior so next time I vacuumed I had my DH play with his favorite toy on the floor right beside the vacuum. That's all it took. From then on I was able to vacuum without a peep out of him. In fact he sometimes still brings me a toy when I am cleaning and I will throw it a few times for him being so good. |
