Bula's Lady Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 So while I was at work the other day my DH text's me that Bula tried to bite the chainsaw while he was using it! He got really scared and had to really scare her with his mean voice, but he told me later that she really went after it. That could have been bad. He said she wasn't even around him and that he turned it on and she came out of no where. She does go after the ATV but you can say "no bite" and she leaves it alone and goes ahead or to the side, instead of trying to bite the tires. I am just glad he was aware of her. Just though I would share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OurBoys Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Your poor DH. Can you imagine the guilt he would have to live with if things had turned out otherwise? I'm glad to hear Bula's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Oop Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Glad that Bula wasn't hurt. My two run like hell if they hear the lawn mower or the vacuum, so I don't think they would like a chain saw. You will probably have to watch her, now you know she's not frightened by the noise.

Eileen Stein Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have seen a border collie try to attack a chain saw many times -- enough so that I would always put the dog up when using one unless I knew from experience that they were okay with it.

Bula's Lady Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yah, that is one thing I wouldn't think they would go after. Never had that experience before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OurBoys Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I've never experienced it personal but if they are noise sensitive, yeah, I can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_ceana Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I can see it too, if anything is loud and noisy my dog is all about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have a couple that will go after a chain saw. As Eileen said, I put them up if a chain saw is going to be used. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha J Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Yeah Holly would go straight to it too. She is noise sensitive i think also as anything like drills/Vacuum/lawnmower she is straight there barking at them. Odd though as when she is out walking with me if someone is mowing the lawn she takes no notice. My strange doggie! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat W. Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Our Meg who is thunder/firework phobic has to be shut up while my son mows or she attacks the mower, so we solve the problem by just shutting up all 4 legged creatures until the all clear is given. I would have had a heart attack with the chainsaw though just the thought brrrrr...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyF Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have a couple that will go after a chain saw. As Eileen said, I put them up if a chain saw is going to be used. J. I agree with both Eileen and Julie. Any time you're using any type of equipment outside, put your dog up. You never know with these guys when they're going to try to grab something. We have dogs who try to get the chain saw, weed whacker, lawn mower, table saw, etc. We just plain don't leave them out when we're running things. Better safe than sorry.

WyoBC Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I couldn't even think how bad he would have felt if something had gone wrong. I'm sure glad he knows what/who's around him. That's weird because any loud noise makes Black Jack run back to me or under me! I had him in the yard while I was outside of it mowing and he just sat there and watched me go back and fourth for about an hour and a half.

Brandon M Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 My dog goes after chainsaws, vacuum cleaners, leaf blowers, etc. Its the only time he starts barking too. He barks at loud tools but thats it. I put him inside when Im using a chainsaw. And have to put him outside or in his crate when the vacuum is in use.
