What stupid things does your dog do/be afraid of ?

[feckingnora]

I have two dogs, one is scared of bald men or people who look at him for too long, although staring with sunglasses on is acceptable!
My other dog is scared of brooms or hoovers and will scoot out of the room if they are out.
dopey dog1 will copy dog2 if he sees him run away but will happily be hoovered and swept around if dog1 is not around!
dog2 is also incredibily ignorant and will not move out of the way for anyone or anything! trotting down canal towpath he will not move for buggies or wheelchairs etc.
dopey but i love them!

Saskia, yes maybe that's it - why are those flowers up in the air?? . One particular day was v.windy and the hanging baskets on the high street were swinging about. He crawled along the pavement past them, I was !

ironing board.

Text mutt is frightened of Polar Bears and goes mad if he sees them on TV. Fortunately as we live in NW England he is unlikely to meet one in person!!

He isn't keen on plastic bags and only barks at people he knows.

Also scared of rain he detests it, not sure why as he actually likes having his bath so didn't expect rain to be such an issue for him.

GSD is terrified of guinea pigs! He loves to visit Pets at Home but the staff laugh at him because he won't go anywhere near the piggy run. Just a squeek from the other end of the shop makes him panic.

Golden is scared of the hoover and the wheely bins that make an appearence each week. She must think that growling works as the vanish for a while after!

When we first got our rescue JRT he was terrified of umbrellas. Then one evening we came across a broken one that someone had dumped on the pavement. He sniffed it, cocked his leg and weed on it and hasn't had a problem with them ever since!

bsmirched - I love how dogs deal with things!
