help does your dog bark at the vacuum cleaner, and garden broom, and dust pan brush, while your trying to use them if so what do you do?

Yes, Glazby loves nothing more than playing "protect mum and home from the hoover/mop/dustpan monster  :D  Its all a bit of a game with him and you'd think that the sound of the hoover would block some of the barking but it doesn't!!

If I've had enough of him getting in my way then I tell him to "Go Settle Down" and he'll go and lay on the sofa keeping a beady eye on the hoover just incase it trys to eat one of his squeaky toys!! 

LOL Yep! and when i get the mop out to do the floor :D

I Haven't been able to convince kai not to bark or attack brooms/mops yet .... so i just put him in another room or outside in the garden :)

Gosh yes....I either let Tansy get on with it, or if she is too loud I put her in another room. She also 'bites' water coming fast out of a hose. That is really funny to watch. She also barks at the duster :-)

Yep I've got two of them who go full tilt when I hoover so they have to be shut away.  They still try and open the door to get to it though.

;) jessica is afraid of the hairdryer and im so glad,it means she leaves me in peace whilst she watches from a distance!

Nips "sees off" the Hoover but that's probably because he only sees it so rarely that it's a novelty! He used to see off the dustpan and brush but I got rather bored of the manic barking and pouncing so told him to stow it! Eventually the message got through but as much as anything this is probably because his current mania for eating coal means the dustpan and brush are such familiar objects! :D

used to when young, completely lost interest now he ia an old man at 3!

Got a Rott that comes and stands in front of the hoover to stop you moving until you detatch the hose and hoover her, she loves it!!!

he eh! my weim does that too!!!

Yes, everything you just mentioned she does!
When my girl was a puppy, puppy, now 8 months old. She was a bloody nightmare for this, mind you good excuse for not doing floors! However, this couldn't go on. So whenever i was, let's say mopping floor and she would be grabbing and barking at the mop, i would say off and then give her a spray of water up the bum. This she did not like! and now, although she still follows me around she dosen't dare come near mop, broom etc. What she does do is lay in the pile of, usually mud and dog hairs that i have just swept up, and then enjoys me pushing her along the laminate flooring with the broom. Wierd animal!:rolleyes:
How old is your dog?

Yes, Alfie hates it when the Dyson emerges from the utility room! Actually when he was a pup if I stood it by a door he would not leave that room as he would have to go past it so if I needed to keep him in anywhere I just put the hoover by the door like a sentry and Alf would stay where he was! Does not work like that now but he still barks at it! Also hates the lawnmower and hairdryers!

We're going to need a picture of you pushing her along with the broom please!! :-D

Nope, I literaly have to push one of mine with the vaccuum to get her to move or else just hover around her :D

Mine don't bark but Lana grabs hold of the vaccuum tube and doesn't care if it's blowing all over!

Jazz loves the hoover and the garden brush :D.  I have actually just had to re order the flat brush for floors for the hoover because Jazz has broken it.  He absolutely hates the hairdryer though, it drives him crazy.

I have  a tiny dust buster as well.  Wraps herself around the mop head, brush head or hoover head and will not let go. Have to say I pick up a lot more fluff with her attached - thinking of patenting her !!!!!

all mine find it extremely amusing to play in the hair and dirt i sweep up- the cats instigate matters by thrashing the stuff around and lying in it- then the dog just joins them for 'fun'! while flo is running away from the broom head , the cats are hunting it- pouncing on it. so you can gather- my kitchen floor is never clean.....
