coz of the noise.....and the fact that it can move....and that its sucks- 3 very strange facts when your the size of a dog and can smell and hear SOOOO much greater than a human.
Dogs hearing is different then ours they hear sounds that w can not and the way we hear the sound of the vacume seems harmless when in fact we scare our pets.
Whenever your questioning something that has to do with an animal, look at it from their point of view. Lets look at it from a small dog's poing of view. Your laying on the carpet, and suddenly, this huuuggggeee towering thing starts rooaarrinng and its just so loud, and you see the dust flying everywhere, and as it moves, it sucks things up, it like eats things alive, and the big bright lights, and its comming at you, and its gunna suck you up, and its oohh soo loundd and its moving toward you....AHH!!!
Some dogs are some aren't. My dog doesn't mind the vacuum cleaner at all. I'm always telling him to move when I'm cleaning or I'd have to run over him.
I always thought my dog was afraid of the vaccuum sweeper but as it turns out he thinks it's a toy. A big noisy toy! He'd bite and bark at it visciously for the first 2 years of his life and I swore daily at the breeder because I knew full well they'd chased the pups with their vaccuum.We got another pup then and for the first year and 1/2 of his life he'd watch happily while the older dog attacked the sweeper.This one was born and raised in a kennel till he was 8 weeks old.He'd be right there wagging his tail and looking at me like he wanted to be in the middle of the fun but was confused as to what the fuss was about. Then one day after all that time he decided to join in and bark and bite the sweeper too.i've never been able to so much as get close to the thing without it setting my older dog off.Now I have both doing it.I tried hard to only vaccuum when the dogs were outside and they'd sit and cry at the door the whole time it was running. Then one day as they were both attacking my sweeper as I tried to use it I'd had it.All I said was Enough and both stopped immediately and left the room. I was really amazed.After that I let them attack the sweeper for a minute after I turn it on and then say enough I shared and they go lay down.They just have to show that thing whose boss before I touch it or they are'nt happy.
