Chip Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 The other day I was walking my two to the pet food store to stock up on food, we were just outside the shop and some motorbikes cruised past, loud as anything. The dogs didn't seem fazed so we carried on walking, we crossed over to go into the store and Shadow started writhing around in his harness like a wild animal, he was petrified, he's been in there before and used to love all the sights and smells and was friends with the staff, even they mentioned how strange his behaviour was, I ended up having to leave him with my brother while I went in with Storm, now he's scared of even getting near that side of the road when we pass not sure if it was the motorbikes that did it but can't think what else it may have been. I have since took him back down there one on one with treats on hand and tons of praise, we managed to get close enough to the shop so that he could sit outside for a bit, after about 10 minutes I managed to get him in the shop with a bit of reassurance but then he was just as scared to leave, we haven't been in there since but it's something we're working on. On a lighter note, Storm is scared of water:jawdrop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttilaVikingsDemon Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 With Czar Demon, sometimes he scares himself with things he bumps into that crashes to the floor and makes a noise, or stepping on something which makes a noise-he just scoots away real fast, its so cute to see!

PnkFlyd204 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Viggo is terrified of fireworks. When he hears them now, he always ends up in the bath tub. Viggo also used to be scared to go into a local nursery near my house. I think it was b/c of the new smells. He is ok now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephona Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I know most run from the hoover lol but all 3 of mine run when i'm using salotape, some thing about the noise when i pull some off xxx Lol... I just realised mine is absolutely terrified by sellotape as well Must be something about the noise. When he sees the sellotape coming out, he is very cautious... but when we start pulling it off, he starts running. He used to be scared of the vacuum and the hair drier, but he won't run away anymore, I guess he's gotten used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyshqa Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think Kiska's done pretty well considering she seems to have a naturally nervous personality, I've tried to tackle this from the start though. She's petrified of fireworks which was very unexpected and sudden - she's fine with all loud noises and bangs, even the farmer's air guns nearby, but when it was firework season last year the first one she heard set her off in a panic. From about 9 months of age (obviously as she entered into the characteristic GSD 2nd fear period) she became scared of men and started barking at the front door. She's gotten a lot better with men now and if they approach her the right way then she's fine, it's only loud, animated men or men who are too quick to approach her or me that set her off now. If a man comes over calmly and lets Kiska choose the pace then she's fine. Children also scare her but this was something she learned - when she was 11 weeks old I was walking her through town and a 3 year old girl ran up to her, screamed, grabbed her round the neck and picked her up, hugging and squeezing her. Kiska rightfully screamed back and freaked out. I had to carry her through town as she was shaking for about 20 minutes. That incident has stayed with her and now she gets very anxious around small children if they're doing anything more than sleeping or standing quietly. That little girl's mum doesn't know it, but through her lack of common sense in teaching her daughter how to properly approach a dog, I now potentially have years of work ahead of me with Kiska and has made me ever having kids quite difficult. Other than that she's not really scared of anything. She's not scared of any other category of people, not scared of any dogs, traffic noise, the hoover, or any other common fearful thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahursty Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Rico doesn't seem that scared off anything he is so layed back.. Mia is completely the opposite she is scared off the Vac and when I've got the hose pipe on she used to be scared off the rumble dryer but seems used to that now.. She is also more jumpy with loud any sudden loud noises where Rico must be deaf.!! Haha.. From Angie, Rico and Mia.. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollys Dad Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 With Timber, its hot air baloons apparently. Maybe there were lots where he used to live (near the Top Gear track) I'm not sure that Molly is scared of the hoover or if she hates it as she barks at it and chews the hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ozzy is not afraid of anything. Micah is scared of the collar she had on when we re-homed her - which was two years ago. I tossed it in the bin the other day after she freaked out when I tried to put it on her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Diamond's afraid of the sound of loud footsteps of a person that he can't see =\ that's the only fear I can't erase up until today. He's fine with any kind of person if he can see them, but if someone is chasing him (either intentionally or unintentionally) he will freak out =\ but he's not afraid of anything else. Thunder, fireworks, motorbikes/cars, the vacuum cleaner... He's okay with all those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon&Sophia Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Qilaq doesnt really seem scared by much if im honest.
