How old is your dog? My boy is/was afraid of everything. I have found that just ignoring any behavior which is inappropriate to the situation i.e. fear of the vacuum means that he adjusts himself in his own time. He's grownout of a lot of behavior (like fear of noises) in the last few months. He is now 15 months old. I think attempting to use treats in conjunction with the noise is a good idea but if that is not working then maybe it is something he will move past on his own once the novelty of the new machine has worn off. I'd recommend looking at the site that someone else above has posted for you, too. |
