Charles Barkley Phobias

Charles Barkley is our dear sweet bulldog that is a year and a half old, and 50 pounds and gaining. He is scared of a lot things. Some things we discovered accidentally, for example; I took a picture off the wall to readjust it and set it down by feet for a second while the bulldog's response was to run. Some things I might have conditioned him to be afraid of. Either way, in addition to his phobia of pictures, mop buckets, lighters, flashlights, cowboy hats, and boxes; we can add masking tape. I was pulling tape from the roll and the sound of it ripping off made him shutter. When I showed him the strip, he ran...and I chased. I thought it was so hysterical that i proceeded to tape his foot, a strip on his head, and a strip on his butt. He was miserable. He was afraid of just the sound at first, and now much, much more. I might have to much time on my hands...
