What Are Your Dogs Terrified Of?

**Jessika** · 06-22-2007, 01:03 AM

Charlie is pretty much terrified of new people, and even if he knows you or you're around a lot, it takes him a LOOOOONG time to warm up to you. But once he does, he's your buddy for life, even if you don't come around for months at a time, he'll remember you and come running when you come to visit

Other than that, they really aren't afraid of anything because if they start to display fearful behavior of a certain object, sound, or situation, I just ignore them. I don't tell them "no", I don't baby or coddle them, and I certainly don't tease them with whatever is scaring them. Eventually they'll learn to investigate whatever it is, and either learn to live with it or stay away from it lol

Tango is afraid of thunder, wind, and just loud noises in general.

Frankie is terrified of loud bangs such as guns, fireworks, or things randomly falling. If any of those things happen she becomes a velcro dog and will shake like crazy.

Riley is afraid of anything that moves if she doesn't recognize it. If I walk in carrying something over my head it will freak her out. She's a big chicken dog with anything new.

Boone is afraid of the trash compactor in our kitchen. Kersey is the weird one. She's afraid of anything that moves on the floor, whether it makes noise or not...this includes the vaccum (most dogs are afraid of vacuums), the Swiffer Wet Jet, and the dry mop. I may have one of the few dogs who's afraid of a Swiffer Wet Jet and a dry mop and I have no idea why she's afraid of these things

Both of my dogs are afraid of firecrackers and all the noise that goes with the 4th of July.

Layla is afraid of my hubbys motorcycle and of thunderstorms also.

Shadow and Mini are afraid of firecrackers (if they're big in the sky, they're okay) and the hose.

Jack, Ky and Micki are fearless

He doesn't really get terriffied ever. He doesn't like loud noises so much but he doesn't freak out. We watch the fireworks together on the 4th of July.
