Their quirky habits never cease to amaze me and make me smile. One of mine went through a period where he was afraid of his water bowl. I switched types, switched locations, anything I could think of. Nothing worked. He finally mostly grew out of it.
Along with treats, I'd suggest a distracting game. Toss a favorite toy in the room. Gradually, toss it closer to the fireplace, but don't rush it. Honor his bubble and slowly try to break it down.
Oh, and get video! You will laugh about this someday!
