Robot Vacuum Repeatedly Runs Into Dog's Nose

Every doggy has a unique personality, but many quirks seem to be fairly universal among our pooch companions. All dogs love a good run around the great outdoors, most cannot resist the siren song of a squeaky toy or a ball that has been hurled across of a park and many canines are afraid of the robot vacuum.Show more

While the vacuum runs back and forth on your carpet and floors, certain types of scents could be kicked up into the air that the dog may not be particularly used to.
The robot vacuum can easily lift dust and debris that can cause an unpleasant sensation for the canines, causing them to get defensive about the vacuum.
How many times have you attempted to turn on the vacuum, only to have your dog growl, snarl or even scamper away from the apparatus? If this happens to you, do not worry, it is actually an incredibly common behavior for dogs.

On paper, it is easy to see why a doggy may be a little skittish around such tools. Vacuum cleaners are cumbersome, they are extremely loud, they are dominating a pooch parent’s attention when they could be playing, and they are poking around your dog’s territory. Even brooms, while comparatively silent, get in the way of where your dog decides that they must be sitting at that moment in time.

It is possible to coach your dog to tolerate the vacuum cleaner so they no longer treat it as their mortal nemesis, even if they will never be able to grip it between their front paws and push it around themselves.

Many doggies hate vacuum cleaners, and for a few specific causes.
Your dog sees the vacuum as a noisy monster that appeared out of nowhere. Some dogs are afraid and run in the other direction, while others attempt to herd or attack.

Have you ever wondered why your dog reacts so much to the vacuum? Not to worry, many dogs initially react to the noise and sight of it. Aside from the noise and vibration, the vacuum is a strange large object that appears to be attacking their beloved human.

A dog may attack the vacuum in an attempt to protect its owner. Some herding breeds may even try to chase and round up the unruly and noisy “animal”. While this is a sweet gesture, most owners are not impressed when they are trying to complete an already dreaded chore.
