I'm not entirely sure if Bisou thinks the vacuum is an enemy that needs to be slain, or a friend that needs to be played with. Either way, she's about ripped the front panel and brushes off our Dyson and has to be locked away while I vacuum or else she does this...



Once I'm finished with the vacuuming, I let her out so she can have her fun for a couple minutes. This time, I didn't even have the vacuum on and she was going after it like a little nut! When she's behind the gate in the kitchen, she lets out the funniest death yodels! I've yet to get those on video, but I'll follow up with one. She also attacks the blow drier and the little dust buster; she barks at the blender and all of the gardeners' equipment... pretty much anything that makes any noise! Her little butt hackles crack me up when she gets all riled up from a noise she can't see the source of.

Shasta, on the other hand, is the total opposite. She runs and hides from pretty much any noise. The vacuum, the blender, this fun little toy that makes a popping noise and launches treats into the air, the sound of ice shifting (seriously)... How are your pups around noises and equipment?
 
My maltipoo isn't bothered by anything. Tallulah also has a love/hate relationship with the vacuum. I made sure that I she was exposed to it from the time we took her home and she was never bothered by it up until about 2 months ago. Now she barks at it and tries to protect us all from the big vacuum. Has never gone after it like Bisou though, lol. Other noises don't bother her at all. Just the vacuum.
 
Try having 3 simultaneously attacking the vacuum cleaner... the poor last one had some rubber piece on the side just hanging off. That, the swiffer, the leaf blower, just a plain old dust mop, broom..... HOWEVER, they spend the mornings with me in the bathroom so hair dryer... not an issue. Ha ha ha.
 
I totally feel you pain.... Banks (our English) was so BAD with it we had to place her in a seperate part of the hosue and she just barked the whole time. I have a Dyson that is about 9 yrs old and it has her teeth marks and chunks out of it from her

Yes! The swiffer and broom too - movement and noise is what gets her attention. Giggling to myself at the visual of all three of them going after the vacuum... hahaha :no:
 
Stella has attempted to go after the vacuum and bark at it a few times and one firm no and she stops. Jake is fine with it as well, but LOVES to destroy boxes, the cardboard center from a roll of wrapping paper and water bottles! He literally gets in a frenzy. Silly frenchies.
 
Radar loves to attack the vacuum and the hair dryer, but only when it's on. He hides from the carpet cleaner and has decided that the roomba is no big deal. I think he likes to play with the air from the hair dryer and has decided that the vacuum is evil and needs to be vanquished.

Buster chases after the vacuum while barking and growling his head off; same with the broom and snow shovel! Ruggles (EB) loves to be vacuumed so he follows nudging me on the leg or gets in front to block me so I'll take the wand off and vacuum him! Silly dogs!
 
Isabelle will "pounce" at it a couple times I say IS NO and she stops and sits down. If I need her to move I say "move isa..." And she moves and sits elsewhere. Maybe I'm lucky lol.
 
haha! Silly pups!! Wally will try to attack and bite the vacuum but after a few times I tell him to leave it and push him away. It's funny to see him attack it but I hate cleaning and want it done as soon as possible. lol!! He does the same thing with a broom, rake or shovel.
 
Haha :) that's funny, I just vacuumed for the first time since Ralphy came home, last Saturday. As soon as the vacuum came out he was barking at it, but he barks at everything new in the room lol so no biggy - I put him in his pen to get the job done with out him getting hurt or in my way. He barked barked barked while he could see me but once i was out of eyesight, his barking became ear splitting yelping. I am not sure what my neighbors or any passers by thought LOL
 
Hudson barks and growls at the vacuum and swiffer, too. He'll jump around and crouch and follow me around the room while barking and growling. He loves the hair dryer.
