My lab is skittish around vacume cleaners, lawn mowers, tractors (both lawn and farm). Pretty much anything that makes noise, let's not even consider the race cars. If I took her to the track. If she got loose, she'd be in the next county first chance she got, LOL! Now my other dog, he could care less. He'd be fine, unless there was another dog around.

When I was involved in historical reenacting, I saw the same thing. People would bring pets with them and leave them in the camps. Most were never a problem but some were nervous and scared the whole time. Too much loud noise, unfamilar strangers, sights and smells.

Agree, wouldn't do it to my dogs.
