So today we started off having a really nice day. He was a little shaky I'm not really sure why as the window was closed, his crate was covered and he ate really well. We even had cuddle time because he was crated for 4 hours. We walked through the park and everything was fine although he seemed to want to eat more of things like acorns and random pieces of rubbish. I did redirect him or throw them away. Not his usual behaviour at all. Anyways on the way back all was well he greeted this random Spanish guy who absolutely fell in love with Bruno he then got on the bus and we carried on home until he bolted and nearly ran into the road. He was petrified of a random inanimate table leaning against a gates.
I pulled him in and he was still scared, so I picked him up and told him it was OK that it was just a table, so I demonstrated it was OK by kicking it. Big fat mistake, as he squirmed and scratched his way out my arms. And landed on all fours on the ground. I didn't think he'd react like that because when I've done that before he was fine but for some reason this really scared him. I picked him back up and walked away. Stroking him, telling him to calm down.
Anyways he calmed down once we got home. But frickin heck!
He really scared me!
What things is your pet scared of?
*table tops *mop *broom *hoover *water spray bottles for plants *hot water bottles especially of covered in fake fur *update: polystyrene filling for boxes... 🤦🏾♀️
Sometimes logs ! Anything a bit strange but her worst fear is walking under a local motorway bridge with traffic coming under it,, she got splashed with snow cold water by a van and as never forgotten
Motorcycles Kids on bikes or scooters Fireworks Thunder Men with hoodies Tall men Bonfires, especially roaring or when it crackles Fire in the fireplace Goats & Horses but Llamas are interesting
My dog runs from the vacuum/ hoover but I think that this is very common. He also won't come into any bathroom if one of us is already in there because he thinks that this means bath. He also goes beserk when he sees any boxed truck that looks like a delivery vehicle.
Funny once I get him into the bath he is ok but getting him into the tub is like pulling teeth and after his patience runs out he tries to jump out of the tub. He loves bodies of water outdoors so why he hates bath so much I dunno.
@REMsleep Awww that's a Shame... What shampoo do you use? I've got a lavender and camomile one. I let Bruno smell it before he goes in the tub and it seems to calm him right down. We made really good progress the lady time as he actually sat in the bath. I was annoyed I had to get in my swimwear to get him in though
