Mine used to run away when the vacuum was running. I just kept explaining it was to clean dirt and wouldn't hurt them and continuing to vac and let them adjust their positions. Before long, Mia was attacking the vac, playing...now both girls do. If I needed to vac where they were, I would pick them up, vac that area, then put them back down where they started from. Brody now just sits and waits and watches, then hops onto my hand to be picked up...I carry him while vac'ing where he was, then put him back down there. Of course, we have been practicing this for several years now...LOL |
