My Dog Barks At My New Boots
    #21808792 - 06/14/15 11:38 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

How do I get her to stop. She's acting neurotic about it and is starting to distrust my old boots too. I have to lock them in another room so she can't see them. She doesn't mind when they're on my feet but when I take them off she goes nuts. Should I just leave them out longer for her to adapt. It's been about a week now and she hasn't gotten over it yet. I've had the same boots since I got her as a baby a year ago so I guess she's used to my old boots and is confused about the new ones.

if she is that young i would just let them sit out so she gets used to them


my cat used to freak the fuck out when she saw or heard plastic bags. we think its because she was abused the first few months and put into one

well, shes 16 years old now and they dont bother her at all. she'll walk right up to it if she has a reason to

I've had her since she was 8 weeks, so she's never been abused or even yelled at. The worst she's had is an ugly look once in awhile. I guess the only thing possible is for her to get used to them, but it sucks when she starts barking when I get to sleep so I put them away. It's funny as hell because she howls at them too. She's a 14 pound shiba inu and has one hell of a little howl.

Use positive reinforcement. Expose her to the boots and every time she is near the boot and doesn't freak out give her a treat. The dog will learn to associate the boot with food.

Your boots are haunted. No choice but to take them out back, sprinkle holy water, perform an exorcism, and burn them.

Not gonna burn them. They just smell weird and she doesn't associate that smell with me. Treats are probably the best way to go.

Wear your boots around her in comfortable environments and assert to her as alpha as they are a non-issue and something to not be interested in.

Separation anxiety or something, I'd talk to a dog trainer or have one come over. You'll hear that howl at your boots and shoes forever.

Does she do this with other random objects?

My dog is afraid of the weirdest shit and will go ape shit if you hold it up at her. It basically extends to any new object, and a few others that were present the first time she stepped foot in my room. No clue what her deal is.

She goes nuts for vacuum cleaners, brooms, even me cleaning the carpet with my hands.

Mine goes nuts over the vacuum as well, but that's kinda to be expected. It's loud and they don't like it.

If I hold up my foot stool she'll start going insane, if we leave an empty box on the other side of the gate and she notices it when we take her out (or any object out of place out there for that matter) she'll start barking like crazy, if I put on a hardhat she'll go crazy, if I approach her with pretty much any object bigger than a tv remote she'll start running around and going nuts. I've never had a dog (or any animal for that matter) so seemingly afraid of everything. :lol:

so the dog who incessantly barks at inanimate objects is the smart one, and the human who wants to help his dog relax is stupid and needs to be trained?

you've been making some insane posts lately, sprinkles :lol:

Was your dog a shelter dog? Because my last terrier that I had was, I didn't adopt her until she was 8-10 years old, and I strongly suspect she came from a domestic abuse household, just based on the some of the idiosyncrasies she had.

For example, whenever somebody in the house yelled, she would always pretend like she was sleeping. Her eyes would be wide open, but she would breathe heavily and even snore to act like she was asleep.

The other thing that really bothered her, is whenever I was cleaning up the kitchen floor with my hands, she would always get pissed off and bark at me whenever I did that. The only time she ever barked at me.

Which made me wonder, "What did she witness that caused her to get mad at that?" Did she witness a murder where somebody had to clean up or scru
