Scared of Vacuum - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Maddie is so deathly afraid of the vacuum that I just hate to even get it out to use it. I don't vacuum as much as I did before Maddie came along, because I hate to stress her out. I've even tried holding her while I vacuum so she can see it's not going to hurt her, but I don't think anything will make her overcome the fear of the vacuum.

Gracie is petrified

When the vacuum is turned on, she runs straight to my bedroom and gets on the bed to hide from it.

my cousins dog loves it! they have the one that goes on by itself, i don't know what its called but its like a robot and it vacumes on its own. but when it starts up, she goes and sits on it and you see her coming through the hallway on the thing! lol, its really funny to watch cause it looks like shes in a parade riding around, and no one knows when it will start up so its kind of a suprise!

Duece is afraid of the vac too. He is also afraid of the broom. He will start barking and charge at both but when he gets to it, it backs off and starts over again. Its actually funny!

Sounds exactly like Sadie.

Gus will bark at it when it's off but the moment I turn it on he goes and hides if it's next him. Ever since the vacume sucked up a sock and made this loud ugly sound Gus hasn't been too fond of it. He won't shake or anything like that, he'll just go to the other room or stay behind me and stays clear of it's path.

I've got one of those adjustable suction vacuum cleaners. When I first had to use it around my little Mitzi, I turned wayyyyy down low. I just let it stand there so she could sniff it and examine it, and then I moved slowly around the house. Gradually It's getting higher and higher. She seems to be Ok with it, and just tries to play with it now while I'm cleaning.
