This video goes over how to train a puppy or dog of any breed to be calm and relaxed around the broom and vacuum cleaner. Some dogs don't need any training and ignore the broom and vacuum, while others, especially herding breeds, can get so excited by them that they can start barking and lunging and attacking the broom or hoover.

Teach Calmness Around Vaccum Cleaner or Broom – Dog Training
Great video as usual! Also I couldn’t help noticing how much Lumos looks like a gawky teenager next to Splash hahahaha
Great video. My dog was ok with my normal vacuum cleaner but when I got an automated one he wanted to kill it. Counter conditioning worked and now he just ignores it and moves away when it tries to clean his feet!
Love it. Just the way I worked with my dog, both with the vacuum and a moving fan that we have standing on the floor in the summer. For that I used “go check it out!” and rewarded heavily for daring to be close to the fan. Than adding criteria, as the fan moving, the different speeds and so on.
Again, great tutorial!
Great tip thanks
Perfect timing! Thank you 🙂
Hi, Emily! I just wanted to say that I love your videos so much! I sometimes have a kikopup marathon and I watch ALL your videos! (I just finished watching all of them!) I loved watching your videos even when I didn’t have a puppy, because I love animals and your videos made me want to get a puppy more than I already wanted one! You are so inspiring and amazing. I also have one question : Where can I adopt a rescue puppy, or just a puppy, but not from the internet? Thank you so much!
I just started on this today with my nine week old puppy. It’s so simple and I got very impressive results in just a few minutes. OK, there’s a long way to go before it’s ingrained behaviour, but I can see just how effective this is going to be in allowing me to clean up all the dried leaves, grass and moss she brings into the house!
I love your videos and I have learned so much about positive training with them! Thank you so much!
There is only one thing I’m still struggling with though. My dog only follow my commands when I have treats (She became a treat addict). So whenever I don’t have a treat, she will not follow my commands. How should I transition from training with a treat and slowly taking it away from my training sessions?
Thank you!!! =D
Try keeping the treats invisible. She shouldn’t know whether you have treats or not, but rather assume that treats are just a part of your body and always there. So to speak, haha. Also randomize the rewarding, e.g. don’t reward every single/second/third time or second. keep the dog guessing.
+DefinitelyNot Shark Thank you very much! I will try that! =D
Thanks so much! I am fostering a dog who would go crazy over the vacuum- even snapping at it and biting the cord!!! Following your advice I fixed the problem in just a few days!!! She is so big that I was worried that she would rip off anything I teathered her to!
So helpful!! My poodle reacts crazy around the mop. At first he was scared of the vacuum but now he’s attacking it too. I am trying your method and wow it really works!!
Kiko I think you the best trainer I seen
you in this dog training with all your heart ❤️ your dogs just love you
Thank you for teaching me for free.
Love you
Kikoup…. one of my favourite Trainers. Need more exposure though so more people can benefit from your knowledge.
Thanks!
My dog was terrified of the vacuum. I noticed he wasn’t if he was on the couch above it when I would pull it out of the closet. So before every time I vacuumed I would tell him to go to the couch where he felt safe and he didn’t care about the vacuum. I have no idea if this is “appropriate” training but it seemed to work well for us.
Yes! What a great idea!
I try to get mine to stay on the couch too.. but sometimes he runs away…
I’m working with an Organization for service dog training and they reccomend your videos for extra home stuff, and it’s been going good so far. I just need to be more consistent with him, but I love all your videos
We followed this with hoover and mop, puppy now loves them and waits for treats!
Well done!
I know this is random, but my day would be made if you can tell me where I could find those shoes you are wearing while training the cattle dog. I hate wearing my sneakers for training and they do not transition well to other activities, and my other shoes are too heavy. Thanks Kikopup!
🙁 they were some shoes from sweden that were waterproof I got as a present when there. They have since “died” and there are no american alternatives… so Im back to converse. They were nice and comfortable. Some swedish brand
Tried this today and was able to vacuum the entire place without my fearful puppy barking or hiding even once!! Thank you so much for your videos, informative and extremely helpful as always! You’ve really made training our first dog so much easier and less stressful, and I can see she’s gaining confidence and having fun also! I need to keep learning more so she doesn’t get bored😅 Finding your channel and website is our highlight of 2020. Take care and thank you again!
Thanks for this. I love how you literally broke the broom up into small pieces to reduce the intensity of the stimulus. I’m about to do some training with a car-chasing dog and this makes me wonder if I can reduce the intensity even more than just distance/sound/slow vs fast traffic.
If you have extra help having your own car is helpful, where you can tell the person to drive and stop etc. If the dog goes for skateboards or bikes you could also be on the skateboard and bike to control the movement at first teach the dog the concept of ignoring those first before moving onto the cars.
I have a 5 month old gsd and when ever we pick up the shovel he freaks out… like a screaming noise we’ve never heard before, he’s terrified, but persistent to protect us from it… we’ve never done anything to make him hate it. Maybe the breeders did something to the parents, I doubt they would’ve touch the puppy’s, that would’ve seriously hurt them… I’m just lost on why he’s scared
Wow this worked so well with my cattle dog puppy!! Thank you
Breaking things down into the tiniest of steps is such a critical concept to have demonstrated for any type of animal training. It’s great to see a session in full like this.
