What's your bully afraid of?

fontana666

My male hates vacuumes, blinds, curtains and hanging light fixtures. He doesn't mind loud cars, guns or fireworks. He's also not afraid of any living thing.


My female is different. She doesn't mind vacuumes or curtains but she hates trash bags soooo much as well as brooms. She also isn't too pumped on my scirocco. She's still very puppy like. She just turned a year old 3 weeks ago. So at night time shadows and things that go bump in the night get her goin.

Everybody's bully has they're own quarks. What's yours?

Maya hates the garbage truck. I think it's a love/hate thing with the vacuum cleaner though.

fontana666

Haha. That's funny. She chases the truck?

Xtracho

Nope...she runs from it. The noisy truck scares her.

Rodney is very afraid of a rake handle.  A week or two after adopting him, we were fixing one that started to rot where it meets the rake part, from being left outside.  Every time he saw it, he took off scared.  We never pointed it at him or even went towards him while we were holding it, he was terrified at just seeing it.  I hate to think of why he's afraid of it, but some things come to mind that I don't like very much.

He goes berserk for cardboard boxes, shredding them into pieces, jumping around like a bucking bronco.  He is like a four-legged composter or furry recycling truck.

Nail Trimmings!   ~X(

apollosmama

Apollo is scared of cars\trucks coming from behind him when we walk. The vacuum when its on. If it's off he attacks it, along with the broom. Hates baby car seats, currently my husbands crutches!

Xtracho

Yeah Steve...I forgot about the dreaded nail trimmers. Maya sees those and she runs to her crate! LOL.

fontana666

I got the running on asphalt and concrete. I've only had to trim nails once on both of them

BulliesofNC

Oh man, if any of you seen Rocky when his eyes see the sight of nail trimmers you'd laugh your ass off. He will bolt into a kennel at 100mph. He is the biggest baby in the world. I've told a buddy of mine I'd give him $100 if he was able to clip Rocky's nails. It's impossible. I don't care how strong you think you are, there is no way of holding Rocky down while someone else attempts to clip ONE nail. We are left to sneak attacks one nail at a time. Crazy!
On the flip side, if you seen him with a vacuum cleaner you'd crack up. As a matter of fact I think I'm going to have to make a video of it. Stay tuned.

fontana666

Hahah. I'd love to see it!

Cesar; Being sprayed with water, my angry voice, my cat ginger.

Chimera: Being sprayed with water,my angry voice, people staring at her without smiling.

Waiting for the new box office smash hit: "Rocky get a pedicure".

Lawn mowers.  Isis attacks while Karamel, Spartacus and Izzabell run for the hills.  Lucian-nails. 

Quinnofhearts

Quinn's afraid of the vacuum and when I open plastic bags (like when you swoosh them through the air to open the up). She likes to fight curtain rods and tape measures. She'll let me cut her toenails with minimal struggle, but always has to have a hucklebutt afterward. Fireworks are scary if we're outside. Also wary of people carrying groceries. 8-X

fontana666

Haha. Sounds like my girl. She is super afraid of plastic bags swooshing in the air. Every time I take the garbage out it's quite a treat. My male was startled by a llama just the other day

LAWN MOWERS! I forgot about Lawn mowers. They are a mortal enemy!!!  

Soapskid

Lawn mowers, vacuums, work out stretch bands and me yeling at the TV when my sports team is losing, lol.

LittleOtto

Otto, who turns 11 month-old tomorrow, is afraid of trucks and loud engines, especially motorcycles, coming from any direction and bicycles coming from behind. Squeaky bicycle brakes as well.

Loud appliances like the blender, the nespresso machine and the vacuum don't seem to scare him, but he gets agitated as hell when those are one.

Also, one that I just found out last night: a magazine in my hand. That's understandable but kind of weird at the same time. For a little while a few months ago, when the squirting water stopped working as a means to get him to stop doing something, as had shaking the coin-filled can, I tried the slapping a rolled magazine against my open hand to make a loud noise. However I didn't use that method for long, nor did I ever slap him with magazines or any other sort of rolled paper.

Yesterday, he was playing, catching a few old magazines trying to make we chase him. When he started trying to eat it, I took "his" magazine with one hand and as I reached for him with the other to remove the paper he was eating from his mouth, he bolted away, visibly afraid. I could approach him without the magazine, but not with it in my hand. By the way, he is not afraid of water bottles or cans or the sound of coins at all.

mbgood

Murphy used to be afraid of the vacuum and would run and hide whenever I got it out (see photo). Now she gets really excited and chases it around, leaping at it with tail wagging.However, she submits to almost all other dogs, including a weiner dog on my block. She gets as low to the ground as possible; it's embarrassing.

Stoges_mom

Stoeger is also scared of trash bags! That's the only thing I've found that he's scared of, motorcycles, vacuums ad loud things he just batks at and tail wags and does the front down butt up play thing lol.

philsergeant

Better watch out for when Murphy jumps up out of that pose and just swallows the Weiner... That'll be almost as embarrassing as Anthony Weiner!

mbgood

I just want her to show some backbone instead of crawling on her belly like a reptile! A few weeks ago at the vet, there was a woman with 3 mini chihuahuas about the size of guinea pigs. The only time she did not submit. Rather she kept looking around at everyone in the waiting room puzzled, as if to say, "What ARE those creatures?!" Whch I would agree with.

Subietech201

Yup, trash bags and vacuum cleaners.
