| Oh yes, I have told this story before,,but, Bailey was terrified of the sweeper, he would go nuts, barking nonstop, and lunging at it,, on or off, didn't matter. So,,, one day,, he has his in the house/training leash on, and I get the sweeper ( totally not thinking) and I start, he appears from nowhere for the attack,, and YEP,,, the sweeper sucked his leash up, I panic, not knowing if I should turn the sweeper off, or try to yank the leash out, well, b4 I decide, he jerks it so hard the leash flys out, and away he goes, under the bed! So, now when the sweeper appears, away he goes, no barking no lunging, or attacking. I think he saw the sweeper as the Enemy and he was gonna fight it,,,UNTIL,,,the sweeper won,,and now he gave up. It is so peaceful to run the sweeper now, he goes to another room, or just sits on the couch and watches.

| Maddie could care less when the vacuum is going. She is terrified of the garden hose though - one sight and she is gone!

| I don't know. Is attacking it mean that she is afraid of it. I just take it to mean she hates it. She attacks the vacuum, mop and broom. She barks at it and bites it. |

| Deegan is for sure. But it's not like I ever teased him or chased him around with it. It must be just the noise. shrug.

I Love Thor Donating Member | I had to mark yes to this one, although sometimes he barks at it and tries to nip it, and other times he runs away from it! |

| Chloes not scared of it. She is actually too brave an likes to run up to it. Tink is scared of it though. My boxer, on the other hand is completely in love with the vacumn cleaner! She wants to play with it and make out with it as soon as she hears me turn it on!
