I thinking it sound phobia and she learned a great skill of coping by going to you for help and you have learned to help.
Dogs hear at a much greater level then we do so it can trigger the bark even far away.
We had a dog that responded to a gun clib miles from his house and we could not hear but he sure could.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are telling me.
When she reacts to his sneezing, etc. she is excited with him as if she wants to play. She doesn't come to me. She is not afraid of it just happy and excited. She has such a wonderful personality.

Since they do have exceptional hearing, she may be hearing him before he really lets go. Moms are always the last to get that kind of service.

Exactly, she knows before it happens.

My Border Collie goes nuts when anyone coughs or sneezes, she runs around and barks like a crazy girl!

Will have to start a new Thread, so many YT members from California.

OK follow this she is scared of stroms. Loud sound
Sneeze is a loud sound and she raeting to it. you say in play and excitement and it maybe but not sure just how skilled you are in reading dog body language it could be appeasment moves.
You say she goes before he sneezes, I saying with her senceativity I think she hears some intact of air or movment to a sneeze you do not.
You sneeze your mom and bonded to her in a way that she may not be with Dad or you have dainty lady like ones.

She does hear the air interaction before he sneezes, I do too.
She is so funny.
I have a closet in my bedroom that I rarely use, she decided that she wanted to investigate and she kept standing at the door until I opened it. That was a few weeks ago, today, she is missing, there she is at the doors again, I ingnored her and she would come get me to go back to the bedroom.
She does something everyday that amazes me.
Thanks for your help.
