Dogs who are already sound sensitive or nervous may be particularly predisposed to discomfort around the vacuum being used in the home.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_stop_my_dog_from_barking_at_the_vacuum\"><\/span>How do I stop my dog from barking at the vacuum?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Start moving the vacuum incrementally closer and closer to the dog. If the dog reacts, barks or lunges at it back up to a distance that the <b>dog can tolerate. Correct the dog with a No and a gentle pop on the leash if they over react. Treat and praise for calm reactions.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_bark_and_bite_the_vacuum\"><\/span>Why does my dog bark and bite the vacuum?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Other dogs may perceive the vacuum as a threat and attempt to protect you from it, which can lead to your dog lunging or barking at the vacuum. For other dogs, the movement and sound of the vacuum may elicit a herding or prey drive, causing the dog to want to chase, nip, or herd the vacuum.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_puppy_bark_at_the_vacuum\"><\/span>Why does my puppy bark at the vacuum?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Fear of Loud Noises<\/b> Oftentimes, a dog barks at a vacuum not because it fears the object itself, but because they fear the noise that it emits.  Another possible reason dogs and vacuums just don&#8217;t mix is because the vacuum may just be too loud for the dog to handle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_dogs_hate_the_vacuum\"><\/span>Why do dogs hate the vacuum?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the main reasons dogs are afraid of vacuums is <b>the noise. Dogs have a keen sense of hearing, so if the vacuum seems loud to you, it is much worse for your dog. Not only do vacuums produce a lot of noise, but they also produce high-frequency sounds that can frighten or annoy your dog.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents How do I get my dog to stop barking at the vacuum?Why does my dog hate the vacuum?How do I stop my dog from barking at the vacuum?Why does my dog bark and bite the vacuum?Why does my puppy bark at the vacuum?Why do dogs hate the vacuum?
