Question:

Why is my dog afraid of the vacuum and how do I stop it?

my dog is 1 year old and she is afraid of the vacuum. why is this and how do I stop it? I feel so bad for her when she is whining and barking...

Answer:

She obviously just doesn't like the noise. Let her outside before vacuuming.
Vacumm produce low annoying frequence that vaccum produce, only dogs could hear thats why it drives the dogs nuts.
Vacuum cleaners make horrific noises, some of which we cannot hear - but it is actually painful and mystifying at the same time to your dog. The best thing you can do is to put your dog somewhere away from the noise- perhaps crated, or even in the car if it is well mannered and the weather makes it safe to do so. Just anything to shield your dog's ears from the screaming machine. I have had to explain rips in the bag to the vac repairman myself...
