3 Household Things Dogs Are Afraid Of: Owners Should Consider This

Many people don't even realize that there are several things in the apartment that can cause fear in pets.

These items should be used as rarely as possible. Or better yet, removed altogether so as not to frighten your pet.

The most interesting thing is that things that are perceived by humans as completely harmless can turn out to be “scary” for dogs.

What objects are we talking about?

Mirrors

Of course, it is not the mirror surface itself that scares such animals, but the reflection.

Dogs do not recognize themselves in the mirror. Seeing their "double", they think that another dog has appeared in the apartment.

Therefore, it makes sense to remove large mirrors from the room where the pet is most often.

Vacuum cleaner

Many dogs become scared when apartment residents turn on noisy household appliances.

The most striking example is a vacuum cleaner. If your pet is afraid of it, it is advisable to clean the apartment when the animal is not in the house.

Certain robes

Dogs often have negative memories after visiting a veterinary clinic.

Seeing a person in a blue coat (which is what veterinarians wear), a pet may become very scared and come to the conclusion that unpleasant procedures will soon begin again.

Therefore, pet owners are better off buying clothes in other colors.
