All my pups are scared of the vac too! I just get on with it and try to clean asap.

Sometimes when my boyfriend's brother comes over I have to just bring the vac out into the livingroom or else Tito won't give anyone a moments peace. He loves Duka (bfs brother), but Duka isn't really fond of dogs. Just the sight of the hoover makes Tito go lay on his bed, like he is saying "look, I am good, don't turn it on, I am quiet!"
