Let me jump on here and ask a question. My 15 month old GSD despises the lawn mower, and he shows the same hatred for the snow blower. He has bitten the sparkplug cable almost in 2 a few times. Is this a fear response? I had wondered about it, but wasn't sure because he doesn't get like this about anything else. He does not raise his hackles, doesn't puff himself up, hardly even barks, just growls and bites the snot out of my equipment. For some reason he just gets NUTS about these 2 things. Not if they aren't on, just once you start them up, once the motor is running then you had better have put him inside. Sort of scary w/ the snow blower, but he bit the handle good enough to break a lever. Any ideas? He is not like this w/ the vacuum cleaner though.
If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking.
My eldest GS attacks the hoover when its switched on same with the lawn mower.
This is possibly through fear of something strange. Or it could be that he hates it that much he wants to kill it. If it was fear wouldnt he just avoid the hoover all together? for example my youngest pup just runs out of the way. When their in their cages and im hoovering around them - the eldest goes ballistic to the point where hes doing everything in his power to get to the hoover. Where as the younger one just doesnt want to know and cowers - I would be of the opinion that the youngest has a fear reaction and the eldest just wants attack it for what ever reason he has in his head.
