Ahi is so not afraid of the vaccum. She doesn't bark at it...yet. But she chases it around while i'm cleaning. It's so cute.

Roxie hates the vacuum! If I even bump into it while I am in the laundry room (which is upstairs, and she is downstairs) she will freak out and start barking.

She will chase it around and bite the hose on the side while I am actually using it. She actually ripped all the rubber off the sides of the hand vac I have!

Yesterday I was vacuuming upstairs, and she actually came up to chase it around and attack it. Silly dog.

My Chloe is afraid of the vacuum, she will go hide from it when it starts up. Armani on the other hand goes crazy attacking it- I usually just put him in a different room while I vacuum so I can get done quickly without him being a nuisance. I am sure with enough training/ desensitizing the problem could be fixed, but I have never considered it worth my time.
