Tank hates the vacuum cleaner! From day 1, when ever I get it out before I even turn it on he is attacking it! It makes him miserable. Hi bites it, lunges at it, barks at it & then when I'm done vacumming he pees somewhere. If I put him in his crate while I run it he screams & barks & then I let him out when I'm done & he pees. Does anyone else have this problem or, something similar?

Our Tank doesn't care about anything if he can't put it in his mouth.

Have you tried just leaving it out without turning it on? Maybe letting your little girl play with it without turning it on so he knows it won't hurt anything?

Molly also attacks the vacuum, the dustbuster, the blowdryer --- she goes CRAZY over electrical appliances. She has been like this from day one. As soon as you turn something on, she starts wailing and tries to attack it. No peeing, though, thankfully ;) We haven't found any solution other than bringing her upstairs and turning the TV on loud when vacuuming downstairs. I am looking forward to hearing what others say about this as well.

i thought Franky would go nuts when he saw the vacum for the first time, but, when i took it out of the closet and started using it, i dont even think he looked at it or cared....we live on a very busy street so i think he's used to lots of noise.

:D I thought Ellie Mae would do the same thing to the vacume, but she just hid on the couch and kept and eye on it to make sure it didn't get to close to her. The mop on the other hand...She hates the mop! I use natural cleaners thank goodness because she riped it right out of my hand and ran across the room! She now gets put in her crate to avoid that fight!
