Random shit you dog is scared of

[Avocuddle]

The living room door and squeezy bottles that make fart noises.
Try and find anything more terrifying! Bet you can't

Sneezes
Bin bags
The dark
Rain
The rock that stop the gates from staying open in the countryside
MIL Lhasa apso puppy(dog is a large staffy)
Loud cars
Tractors

Anything out of the ordinary really!!!

Spiders. Seriously, what good is it letting a dog sleep on your bed, when he can't protect you from spiders? ☹️ I wouldn't mind, but one of the cats also sleeps on the bed and she's a wimp too!

On a less funny note, he's absolutely petrified of the floor brush. He's a tiny rescue dog and has a bent nose, damaged back and other problems, due to neglect and abuse. 😢

However, he's a fecking head the ball, when it comes to drills, lorrys going past, cement mixer, etc. The noisier, the better. He wants to play with them and he loves chasing the vacuum cleaner. 😆

Oh god, so so much!
The dishwasher beeping
The smoke alarm
Frying food (as it often sets off smoke alarm)
Wrapping paper tubes
Buzzing noises
Carrier bags
Vacuums
Big bangs
Fireworks
Shooting
The broom
The little hand brush
Balloons
Kids on scooters
When baby 2 is drinking a bottle, as baby 1 had severe reflux and would projectile vomit after every bottle (sometimes over him)
The rain
And he's a big bad Staffy!!!

Their own farts.

Pubs.
She just whines and whines. Which really puts you off your

Next door's dachshund yapped at him and he ran away the other day. (He weighs about 19 kg so he's massively bigger than a dachshund.)

He scarpers if our ex-au pair sneezes, but he doesn't even twitch an ear if I sneeze.

He hides from the vacuum cleaner, unless I am in the room, in which case he will bravely and ferociously protect me from it.

Oh Christ. Every bloody thing.

The wicker dog bed - it creaks slightly if he goes near it. Won't sleep in the same room as it, let alone in it.

The plastic dog bed - he once got in it with much persuasion and it moved slightly. Nope. No more plastic bed.

The dishwasher (whether it's on or not)

The hoover. The switched off Hoover. Won't enter the room it's in. Will whine if left in a room with it.

DP's friend saying 'squeak squeak'. Terrifying.

Our cat. He is pretty scary though.

Hot air balloons. Oh my god, the hot air balloons. Just the sound of the flame thing though. We have one set off in the field near to us fairly often early in the morning for the sunrise, and he will sit there a quivering mess.

A duck ornament. He has to bat it over as he walks past just incase it became real overnight.

The moon if it's bright. Has to be barked at.

Moving furniture slightly. Or moving rugs slightly. Ruuuuuun!

And yet, he's not scared of strangers at the door. He's not scared of DP's gun. He's not scared of big farm machinery. He's not scared of big dogs. I mean, all the things that could actually cause him harm. Nope.

Ladders. And mushrooms. If a mushroom falls into the kitchen floor it really upsets him and he'll bark at it until it's put in the bin.

The nozzle attachments for the hoover. Makes him go crazy

Gunshots and fireworks.
Prosecco and champagne, just get the bottle out and she reverses out of the kitchen.
I wouldn't mind but she's a springer, from good working stock. Never even showed her the gun, never mind tried her out beating. Not worth the trauma. Poor lass.

Laundry being hung out. Literally nothing else apart from when you shake something out when it's wet to get the creases out before hanging it up

Mine is terrified of the big breath I take before I sneeze. The sneeze is fine but awake or sound asleep he panics when he knows a sneeze is coming. He's an extremely large labrador x coward 🐶

Dishwasher. Especially if it has metal inner of slow cooker in it.
Barking dogs.
The wind.
Noise in general.
People. Well a lot of people.
Cats.
Mummy leaving.
Not being shut in her cage. (She's big so have a pen not a crate.) she can't sleep if the door is open.
I wouldn't mind but she's supposed to be a brave wolfhound!

The hoover and upturned recycling boxes, only upturned though, the other way round is perfectly safe.

My bantams, three of the world's smallest chickens and my TERRIER won't come in the house if they're stood at the back door.

Stationary mopeds. Road works signs. Litter. Hats. Tinfoil. Horses. Falling leaves. Weird sticks. Pheasants. The car. Ear drops. Unattended feathers.

But fine with RAF flying over (multiple times a day), tractors going past and other bugger dogs who aren't very friendly.

Other dogs barking when she can't see them

Fizzy drink cans
Hates the vacuum cleaner
Horses
Anyone in hi-viz jackets
Traffic cones
Balloons

Farts!!

The butchers. Will not pass, on the other of the road he whimpers and cries and stays as far away as he can.

Once had to carry him past a butchers delivery van. He's a 36kg Lab Golden X. Thankfully there were no spectators because me DP and Dm must have looked a picture.

Fishmonger fine, leather shop fine, fresh paint fine so it's not a strong smell thing.

Cling film
Kitchen foil
Bin liners

I am loving this thread, so funny!!

Swearing! He hates it. He'll climb up on me and shake even if it's a simple I've forgotten something and mutter 'shit'.

Owl noises,
Tiny dogs barking at him,
Any sort of cable.

He's 38 kg and once I had to carry him past a house that had a tiny dachshund barking on the other side of the gate. He lay on the floor shaking and crying loudly as we tried to persuade him to walk past the gate until I picked him up and got him past the bloody thing. DP was stood there with our other dog on the lead laughing so hard he was crying

My big stupid Border Collie is scared of flies. But only if they're in the living room

When I was a child we had a fox terrier that was scared of my sister's bunny - she'd jump up on the sofa and shake, but the bunny would jump up too! Bunny would chase the dog all over the house. Same dog was also totally freaked out by the opening drums to the Brookside theme tune poor wee bugger.

Current dog is afraid of:
Her own farts
DS' crocs
Spoons
Turnpikes- she gets all skittish, like a spooked horse

She is a rescue, fuck knows what happened to her before she came to us
