what are your dogs afraid of?

Gandy is afraid of fireworks and thunderstorms. At the first sound of thunder, he heads down into the basement.

Rocky acts brave, but he is afraid of the vacuum cleaner.

Bandit is afraid of strangers, especially children. He hides behind me if there are strangers or kids around. He's also afraid of honking geese. He lets me vacuum him and he doesn't mind storms.

Bella is pretty fearless for the most part. The only times I have really seen her cower a little are when I have taken her to my daughter's. The neighbor on the one side has two scottish terriers that bark up a storm when they see her coming up the driveway. Bella's tail goes way down and she avoids looking at them. On the other hand, when I take her for walks if we should pass a rottweiler or german shepherd her tail wags right off her body. I think it's the barking that she finds intimidating.

duke my senior golden is terrified of thunderstorms. when i brought him home from his rescuers, they warned me, so if i know a storm is coming, i give him melatonin and keep him in the bedroom with me, with the radio or tv on. i have come home to tipped human bed(trying to get behind/under it) and a knocked over card table. poor dog. alex was spooked one time by an outside overly filled trash can, he kept circling and growling since it wasn't in it's usual space.
