Now normally if she ran and hid in a "safe" place I would be like "thank god she is not under my feet" But when I turned the hoover off this morning the poor thing was shaken.when she came up to me.
Any advice ?

My pup is scared of the hoover
I have staffs, and they all react differently to the hoover. One tries to kill it, one runs and hides shaking in the corner and the other just ignores it. Every dog is different, but I tend to end up giving the scared one a cuddle, she's usually ok after a couple of minutes.
Got two scaredys here, I always love this sort of sums it all up

“There's a monster in my closet. He lives behind the door. It's quiet and it's dark in there. He doesn't even snore!
But my mama takes him out sometimes. That's what really makes me shake! She plugs his tail into the wall and he roars like an earthquake.
He sucks down at the carpet It's a frightful sight to see. He goes at it so hungrily, he might even suck up me!
That's when I run away and hide but I still can hear him moan. When a monster's running through your house There's no place to be alone.
I'm shaking and I'm quaking and I think that it's the end. Then suddenly, a miracle! All's quiet once again.
Now he's back inside the closet and from beneath the bed I'll creep and check behind the closet door to make sure he's fast asleep.
I spy his name across his chest. It's written there to see. My monster's name is Hoover. Please Hoover, don't eat me!”

every dog is different, we've had one that was scared, but mum hoovers up so often now, our boy is completely desensitised to it
to the point where you can nudge him with it running and he still won't move unless you tell him
and it's a full size dyson so it's not exactly quiet!
if you reassure your pup, she may well never like the hoover (who would? i blooming hate the sound of the things)
but eventually she may realise that it's not anything to be worried about.
as she can get away to a "safe" area now, this will likely be what she does all the time when you clean up with it

My gsd used to pretend to be scared of the Dyson. But really she wanted you to Hoover her belly with the hose attachment!
My lab is fine - and quite happy for me to hoover up right onto his belly. My cat disappears outside the moment I get the vacuum out.
My parents previous dog was terrified of the hoover, she hated it and would hide.
My parents current dog is deaf, so can't hear the hoover but he must feel the vibrations because he tries to kill it.

I used to breed boxers and we have two, a dad and son. I vacuum every evening and, without fail, Oscar will go through to the back of the house and sit in the kitchen. I don't think he's afraid of it, I honestly believe that he does it to allow me to do the work, as I obviously move furniture around.

Youtube video or it's not true
All my dogs have hated the Hoover,they just jump on the sofa or run in a different room.
I ignore them, I think the worst thing to do is reassure them with cuddles, they need to learn its something noisy yet nothing dangerous, i figure if I were to start putting them in a different room when I Hoover, or reassure them after with words or cuddles, they will learn it's something to worry about.
