I haven't seen anything on what your baby is afraid of on here....so will start ......Widget is afraid of windshield wipers.....the overhead fan when going.... the outside sprinklers and baths of course.....and she's not liking her new stroller too much either.....

Ellie shakes everytime we pull into the vet's parking lot.

The only thing I can think of is the Ironing Board because he attacks
it every time I bring it out. I mean "ATTACKS" it with fury

Heaven only knows what he thinks it is. I sat him on top of it to show
him it would not hurt it. He wasn't impressed and just wanted a piece of it. I gave up trying to make peace with him and the ironing board. I let
him do his thing until I get it up and then he walks away

Turbo, he is afraid of the kiddy gate falling. Sometimes when we step over it, it will fall down and he hates the noise!

Oh and he is afraid of not getting his treats!

Hoku is deathly afraid of my cooking

She freaks out whenever I use the oven and especially the broiler.

Kalani is fine in the house but outside he's easily startled - a leaf blowing in the wind, bikes, skateboards, etc., but he's getting better

chachi · 07-10-2007, 07:14 AM

Jewels is afraid of the vaccuum, the leaf blower, basically anything that makes loud noises and the tapemeasure. Chachi is afraid of the tapemeasure and the vets

Cody gets afraid at night when i take him to do business before bed. the security light casts a shadow of me on the building and when he sees it he flips out he goes to barking. (it's funny) He also doesnt like when we get back in the room at the vets office. in the lobby he does fine but once in the back. he goes to wiggling out of my arms.

Vinnie's Mom · 07-10-2007, 09:13 AM

I don't know if Vinnie is afraid of or just REALLY doesn't like that pesky dog in the mirror. He just can't shake that dog, and he mimics every move Vinnie makes. haha

Rae Rae · 07-10-2007, 09:26 AM

Rocky is afraid of the garbage can, and he gets afraid when I vacuum or open the blinds. Bella is afraid of being in a room by herself

TobyIIsMom · 07-10-2007, 09:37 AM

Toby is afraid of his shadow and shadows in general. Sounds weird but true...some days are better than others but he'll usually bark at his shadow most days.

He's also afraid of his brother...Henry...a tortoise, whose about the size of my palm. When we put Henry down on the floor he barks and barks. Its so funny bc Toby could easily hurt Henry not the other way around.

But most things you would think he would be afraid of he could careless about...especially loud noises like fireworks and such...they don't even phase him.

That's so funny...Lucy does that too

Other than being afraid the other dogs will get a treat before them or will get the toy they want, my dogs arent afraid of much. They used to be afraid of the vaccuum and carpet shampooer but they hear that so often it doesnt even faze them too much anymore.

windsor'smom · 07-10-2007, 10:02 AM

I'm not sure that Windsor is afraid of the Vacuum but he certainly doesn't like it, he attacks with his teeth bared and snarling. ZsaZsa and Abbie are fearless.

dcbroom · 07-10-2007, 10:26 AM

Chewy also hates the tape measure, along with the garden hose and electronic wires. As I'm writing this, I realize he doesn't like alot of things. Plastic bags, rain, noisy cars, fire hydrants... the list goes on and on!

Ladylavender · 07-10-2007, 10:32 AM

Millie is afraid of new garbage bags and the sound I make when I am trying to open the bag to put it in the garbage can. She will run when she sees me get a new one out.
