Today, I discovered that my 100-pound Rottweiler is absolutely terrified of (drumroll please) orange peels. Yup. A byproduct of my lunch will turn this hulking monolith with teeth into a whimpering puddle of pee. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dog became scared of his own food bowl. He now barks for ages every time he sees it. FML
Today, I learned that my big, tough, strong dog is terrified of spiders when he jumped, knocked over a table, and then peed on the spider to drown it. FML
Today, I discovered that the delicious beef jerky strips I’ve been eating all week are actually the dog’s teeth cleaning chews. FML
Today, my dog got his head stuck in a container, panicked, and shat himself all over the living room. FML
Today, I discovered that one of my dogs has taken a liking to rolling over his own poop. I found out by petting him. FML
Today, my 5-year-old, overweight Siberian Husky tackled me because he thought that my lipstick was food. FML
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, I went home for lunch. Upon opening the door, I smelled something horrid. My dog had opened his cage, eaten all the dog treats, and had diarrhea all over my bed and bedroom floor. FML
Today, I bought some bitter-apple spray to stop my puppy chewing on everything. Later, I found out how effective it was, when I tried to eat a sandwich, and gagged at the horrifying taste on my hands. My dog seems unaffected, and continues to chew the table legs. FML
Today, my sweet 7-month-old puppy ran up to a big fat dog at the park and did what she always does: roll over on her back to start to play. The big fat dog lifted his leg and peed all over my puppy's belly. After the shock, my soaking wet puppy jumped on me. FML

Lots of dogs dislike citrus from what I've heard. So maybe he was reacting to the smell?

My 125 lb Rottweiler gets scared of rain, even a light drizzle will stop him from going outside.

I know what you mean, my 70lb lab hates water. I water the yard and he heads for the porch. I bought him a pool thinking it was the hose or the running water he was afraid of, since I rescued him from an abusive home. Nope, just afraid of water in general. On the up side though, my neighbour's pup loves coming over and playing in it when they put him outside.

Is he adopted? If he was abused before you got him...it might sound weird but some people use oranges in a bag to hit people and animals because it supposedly doesn't leave bruises. The smell might trigger that reaction of fear. Like doggy PTSD. My cat's previous owner tried to drown him and now if he hears water running in the same room, he has a panic attack and hides for a day.

I hope for your carpet's sake you're kidding about the pee part.

My cats are scared of the vacuum. They've learned to accept going out back as a compromise from running in terror every night.

Smell is a very strong trigger for doggy traumas...
