Barks at broom

I know his sounds silly but I can not get her to stop, I just ignore her so she gets used to it but she wont stop, anything new she will bark for ages, do you think i should leave the broom and other stuff so she can check it out?

Bayleigh barks at the broom, dustmop, rake, vacuum cleaner, lawn mower....! I have always told her "NO!" She will leave the broom alone after being told no but sneak around and attack again. I usually try to sweep when she is either asleep or outside with the skinkids. Raking leaves this fall should be a lot of fun!

Ty makes it impossible to sweep. He hops and barks at the broom and chases it all around the kitchen. Then, it's a guarantee that he will belly slide directly through my dirt pile before I get it swept up and into the trash lol ! I now sweep when he's sleeping, it's much easier.

Lily use to bark and throw a fit at the broom. As she got older, she did it for shorter and shorter periods of time. Now she's 9 1/2 months and it seems like she hasn't bark at the broom for ages (still the occasional bark at the vaccum though). I would say to keep telling her no and ignore her. It will go away with time (we hope)

Our Sadie does the same thing.
She barks and attacks the broom, mop and vaccuum.
I just figured that she was a disgruntled housewife in her past life. I am glad to hear she is not the only nutty puppy around.
