OK, meanwhile, I would not leave the pup's safety up to the memory of your children (too easy for a tragic accident to happen!) -- So, whenever you're using a potentially dangerous power tool, lock your Mal in her kennel (problem solved)...
That will insure she remains alive & well for you to do whatever de-sensitizing, etc., at your leisure <:-)

Exactly what I had in mind. Usually I put her in the travel crate in the truck that way she won't drive me nuts with her barking. The enclosed truck keeps it to a dull roar.
I see that you are talking about socialization/desensitizing rather than an stopping an obsessive behavior. My earlier post was based off a training an obsessed dog. My bad.
I would save the corrections & do more training. Your pup is just learning what all those big scary tools are. Take it slow and associate it with good stuff. What everyone else said.

Okay, I've been shoveling all day and the poor puppy has exhausted himself by being crazy. He jumps in front of the snow shovel and barks and jumps at it. He attempts to bite the handle of it, while in use or standing quietely by the house. On my 2nd round of shoveling, I left him inside where he proceeded to attempt to attack the shovel through the window. YIKES! On our 3rd round of shoveling, he went back outdoors with us, but was confined to the back third of the door yard, where he barked and cried, but couldn't attack the shovel. The 4th time outside, he was too tired to react, he has been passed out for about 3 hours now.
He acts this way with the broom, too. I now put him outside when I sweeping inside.
But I'd like to teach him that he is okay and it is a tool I need to use. I didn't find anything above that really helped me here. Just a lot about talk about animal safety et cetera. The pup is safe enough even if he doesn't think so.
