What spooks your Boxer?

[x19er]

Nothing spooks our Sophie, everything is taken in her stride.

Dino is a sensitive wee soul - the thing that spooks him the most is wood/laminate flooring. It all started when he raced into my MIL's new house, charged into the kitchen to see his Granny, tried to stop and promptly whizzed straight past her and shot straight out the other door - he was not impressed! He's fear of slippy floors remains and he refuses to set foot in our sunporch and bathroom. A fact not missed by Sophie who often disappears into the sunporch and sits and looks at Dino as if to say

Anything thing that suddenly makes any type of loud noise, especially thunder.

Axe is afraid of the rain/hose-- any water source he has no control over!! he will burn across the yard and hide behind the shed, waiting for DH to not be paying attention to him, so he can try to get in the house!!

For both of them, anything that makes an unexpected noise (not necessarily loud), like if they roll over on their squeaky toy (esp. the cuz!!!) or bump into something that startles them.

Molly is scared of anything different or new. Once while taking a walk she jumped about 5 feet backwards, because she hadn't noticed a small teddy bear on the sidewalk until she was just about on it. She was jumpy the rest of our walk.

 

[Cyrus2005]

Oh boy where to start!! Cyrus is scared of men doing roofing work, the noise of nails/hammering from said roofers, blowing trash, signs we pass on our walks, trash bags, unfamiliar men, fireworks, thunder, lightening, the air compressor, automatic doors at the pet store, shopping carts, men using weed eaters, the garden hose, loud delivery/trash trucks, motorcycles, etc. He also gets upset if I move things around, like the strawberry planter in the backyard. He gave it a wide berth for several days, looking at it out of the corner of his eye!! Silly dog! We are going through a fear stage right now, and hopefully this is the last one. I am quite tired of the "bucking bronco" at the end of his leash. (please Cyrus, people are watching!!)

Bayleigh is 2 1/2 years old. I would hope that she is over the fear stages. She is the biggest coward!

Things she is afraid of:

Tape measures
Garden hoses
Our new rotating fan
Paper grocery bags
Curtains moving in the wind
THUNDER!!
Halloween masks
Santa
Bag of charcoal sitting on the picnic table
plastic bag blowing down the street

The list goes on & on. She puts on an act like she is big and brave.

 

[northernboxr]

skateboards!!
He doesn't know what to make of them at all!

 

[MDBoxerDad]

Sad to say it but Emma is deathly afraid of our fish. They are small gouramis but she looks at they like they are air breathing pirahnas. She hates them.

Tess is very suspicious of the ceiling fans in our house. It's hilarious. She'll be playing with a toy or burning around the coffee table and then stop in her tracks and look up suspiciously at the ceiling fan. It's so funny.

She doesn't like hula hoops on their sides, her baby pool propped up, stove tops propped open (to clean the underneath). Pretty much anything that doesn't look like it's supposed to, freaks her out.

Conner is only afraid that he's going to miss a meal.

 

[My Boxer]

Scooter is afraid of everything. Especially if it moves or makes a loud noise.
