Onceuponadime Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 We've had a fox screeching in the field my house is next to. It was probably a vixen. My pup is 10 month old and ran in petrified. For the last hour he's been scared to go back outside. I've never seen him scared of anything. I live in the country so I'm hoping it does not become a permanent fear thing. We get lots of animals. The fox was practically at my fence calling. My dog is 10 month old now so he's still a pup. Nothing else bothers him he watches thunder, fireworks etc. The fox has really scared him. Anyone else have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 no we do not have foxes in our estate so nope on the campsite we hear the foxes but they stay well away from people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponadime Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 The fox was calling on the other side of my fence. It was loud screeching. I'm not sure why it would distress my dog so much. He's seen foxes as they regularly run out the woods on walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Foxes make such a horrible noise when they scream! Your poor boy will probably be a bit nervous for a bit until he realises the fox isn't coming back, i wonder if there's something like those scarecats you can get to keep them out your garden (or near it) for foxes Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never showed any kind of fear before. He was terrified panting, trying to hide under the sofa. We have all kind of wildlife noises and they don't bother him. Even when the farmer is shooting or in the fields in huge machinery he's un phased. This fox terrified the life out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulG Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 ok if your male or have a hubby/BF this might help, take dog and give hubby BF a few cans of beer larger cider and get him and the dog to march around the outside of your house in the fields etc scent marking at random spots. You could even get him to pee in a watering can at night etc so they can add to area not done already in daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
