Why is my dog super terrified of plastic bags?

If I rattle a trash bag, chip bag, anything.. He gets scared.

Answer #1

It’s most likely the sound that they are sensitive to. My dogs does the same to bags, just make sure that you don’t encourage his fear by giving him attention when he is scared of this.

Answer #2

When my dog hears rattling of a bag he comes to attention as he thinks there’s an opportunity for food, but if you rattle one in his face he doesn’t like that obviously

Answer #3

Your dogs a p*ssy :) Mine is too and he’s half pitbull, that’s embarrassing

Answer #4

Well dog’s ears are very sensitive to some sounds. They can pick up a higher frequency than we can so that could be the problem.

Answer #5

My puppy loves plastic bags he struts around with his tail wagging whenever he gets ahold of one

Answer #6

Answer #7
