Dave is scared of the tailgate of the car... which is odd as I've never actually trapped any of him in that bit  ph34r ph34r

Normy is scared of traffic cones, small black working type spaniels  ::), umbrella's carried by people she doesn't know (it's fine if it's me or anyone she knows for some strange reason) and...... Japanese Ladies.... SERIOUSLY embarrassing.

Ellie was in the garden a few weeks ago, and was crouching down and barking her head off - we went to investigate and it was an old spoon  :005: must have got buried in the garden when the kids were little (they used to nick them to build moats)  :luv: (aah happy memories)

Molly's scared of the dark. Well, walking in the dark. She hates it, walks low down, tail down, overly alert. Odd mutt  ::)

Chester's not really scared of anything, he's too busy walking around in his wee happy-bubble  :luv:

All three of mine hate anyone wearing a hat, and if you're wearing a motorbike helmet then you'd better watch out!!

Just come back from morning walk.  Came into the house to dry both Mundy and Jenni.  I threw a towel over Mundy's head so he could do his usual - walk around the kitchen banging into things - and my Newbie Jenni went mad, barking and running away.  She is still barking at the towel on the ground.  Must think we have a ghost in the house.  :005:
I love my dogs.  They make it worth getting out of bed in the morning.

Roxy hates skips, especially if they have tarpaulling on them. Not really sure why as we've never had a skip.  :huh:

When Jeeves was younger, he was terrified of his own reflection in the mirror. Was a good way to keep him out the bedroom, then he got used to it and ran behind it (it was one that was supposed to be up on the wall, but I never got around to it) looking for the other puppy. Not so much now though!

Sox is ok with most things, but the one thing that terifies him is one of my cats, :005:  if she is on the stairs and I go upstairs then Sox stays downstairs, he wont pass her or anything its quite funny to see this considering Sox is 3 times the size of Seita,  ph34r if Sox has to pass her he yelps really loudly, which makes me come flying and tell my cat off for striking out at him,  >:D but now I have realised Sox understands that if he yelps I will come and get him, devious little thing he is.... regardless of whether Seita has lashed out at him 9 times out of the 10 times she has done nothing but sit there.........

Troy used to be really scared of Yoga Mats but now I've actually started using it everyday he's ok with it now.  In fact he quite likes to do a bit of doggie yoga (aka sleeping in basket right near the yoga mat)! xxxx  :005:

Little Nell is scared of Spoons. She will run if she sees me pick up a spoon. Not Just the common table variety, but any spoon.

OOh how long have you got?
Charlie is scared of anything that looks slighlty different, kids on parents shoulders, bails of hay, kites, people stationary on a bike  ::) (he's fine if they are moving), black labs, busses/lorries going by, sppons, the noise yougurt pots make if you squeeze them (doesn't stop him licking the pot out though) hairdriers, hoover, other peoples hands. The other day it was a wheel hub on the beach rolling cos it was windy!
Guess that all indicates how poorly socialised the poor boy was  :'(

black labs


It's weird because Billy hates black & liver labs and I know a few other dog owners who also have the same problem!

Very strange - Honey has developed a similar dislike - I'm beginning to think she maybe can't read their body language so well for some reason - if they approach in "full-on" play mode, she's fine, but if they approach more cautiously she sends them packing...  ph34r

If I'm in town with Wilf I have to carry him past those revolving advertising signs (you often see them in shopping centres) --- he refuses to budge and short of dragging him past kicking and screaming I have had to pick him up and carry him much to the amusement of passers by :005:
