Welcome to the Wednesday Canine of Dogster! Each month, we ask our Dogsters to weigh in on a brand new subject. This week, we requested them: What do your canines hate? Right here’s what they needed to say:
Amanda & Subi
Other than the plumber that one time, Subi is a reasonably agreeable gal and doesn’t seem to hate a lot of something. Nonetheless, she is definitely spooked by a couple of issues.
- Crowds: That is very comprehensible. Being a timid rescue, she thrives in her favourite mattress or free-ranging solo within the yard.
- Sudden operating: If I’m standing nonetheless after which bolt for any given purpose, this causes her to malfunction. It’s nearly as if she’s saying WHO ARE WE RUNNING FROM?! Her response typically provides me secondhand spooks, too. She instantly takes off beside me, tossing in a couple of anxious barks and, after all, beating me to our vacation spot, as a result of whoever we’re operating from will catch the slower particular person first—primary horror movie info.
- Loud noises: I’m sure that is common for everybody worldwide, although.
There could also be a couple of one-off conditions that irk her, however the above sums up the reason for most of her robust feelings.
Kate & Gizmo

Gizmo’s extra of a lover than a hater, however there are some things he’s positively not a fan of:
Wind in His Hair
Though many people get pleasure from a bit of breeze ruffling our hair, for Gizmo, it’s a tough move. After we’re out strolling on a windy day, he’s rather more skittish. My principle is that he can’t hear as effectively and worries about one thing stunning him – however he may also simply be chilly!
Being Cruelly Denied a Lap
As an Olympic-level Velcro canine, Gizmo prefers to be touching an individual always. But when all of the individuals within the room are busy – say, attempting to work on their laptops – he’ll often be traumatically denied a lap. Worst day ever.
Being Alone
This was once extra true (we’ve labored fairly laborious on separation nervousness), however Giz will all the time select to be with individuals after they’re out there. Nowadays, he appreciates a bit of alone time (nice for uninterrupted napping), however he’s all the time thrilled after I get dwelling.
Sea Lions
You might have seen this in my final put up, however Gizmo has solely simply encountered sea lions for the primary time, and he developed an on the spot hatred for them. Large blubbery sacks vying for the sunniest spot on the pier, mooing like deranged cows? No, thanks!

Nicole, Mac & Rosa

Rosa has come a good distance over the previous few years. A canine who began out afraid of the world and hating most issues now tolerates most issues as a result of she understands them as a method to an finish (tub time and automobile rides, to call a couple of). Her checklist of earlier hates I can chuckle at now as a result of she’s on the opposite aspect:
- Range fan
- Canine on the TV
- Loud noises on the TV
- Tumble dryer
- Gentle rain when the solar is shining (‘the place is it coming from?!’)
- Too many cuddles (like a cat)
- Possums
Now, the primary factor she hates is our ceiling fan, which we can not use. It’s not a lot hatred as anxiety-inducing, so she will get the move.
Mac, however, doesn’t get nervousness, however has some actual critical loathing for a couple of issues:
- Wild goats. He loses all capability to hear and purpose if he a lot as senses one and can run miles to attempt to get one. By no means caught one, and didn’t hate the child goat we fostered, so unsure what his deal is right here.
- Being requested to get up and doing
- When he doesn’t get ‘sufficient’ cuddles/pets (there’s no such factor as sufficient, so typically it’s higher to not even begin)
In all honesty, although, my canines aren’t a lot for hating issues. They positively don’t hate tub time sufficient to cease themselves from rolling in useless animals or poop. It’s been fairly entertaining watching them develop and be taught to reside with sure issues, and determine that different issues usually are not for them, however all in all, I’d say they’re very easy-going pups.
