Why Does She Attack This? 

*When Brooke first brought DeeDee home, she put her in the barn & said DeeDee barked her head off. That was the reason for bringing her into the house... Maybe DeeDee was kept alone in a garage & that's why the barn gave her so much anxiety. And maybe she remembers the sound of the garage door meant she was going to be locked up again*

Nice flooring. Great job. 💖💖👍👍Garage door: I think it's like when a dog attacks the vacuum cleaner, Dee Dee is protecting you against a predator as she see's it. 💖💖👍👍💖💖

My personal opinion on her reaction to the door is a time of trauma.

Dee Dee tails wagging, I think she’s just playing , just like her duck egg ~ she doesn’t seem mad just “giving the door a piece of her mind”😊

Dee Dee has some kind of trauma from her past like many rescues have. We can only guess. I just love little Dee Dee ❤😊

Our dog did the same with a vacuum. We had to put her on a leash and correct her every time she attacked. Turning it on and off several times and correcting her. Giving her praise and a treat every time she stopped attacking. After about 40 minutes she got the hint and doesn’t bother with it anymore.

MC sure is going to have a peachy keen bus when it's done. Lucky girl. ❤ her.

I would imagine Deedee thinks the door especially the sound may be hurting you. She is protecting you.

My little terrier acts the same way whenever my husband picks up the cordless drill. She loses her mind. Nothing has ever happened to her with a drill...she was never hurt with it, scared with it or anything. She just hates that drill! They have their little quirks!

2:51 INCOMING!!! (Bramble knows how to make an entrance.🐾)🤣❤️👏🏼🤣❤️❤️ You've done a wonderful job with the bus, Brooke. It's looking great!

She is protecting you from the garage door, or she was injured by a garage door and is attacking the garage door. Fantastic job on the flooring of the VW bus and love the plaid material for the seats. It’s going to be a good looking VW bus when you finish with it. Stay warm and hope you are feeling and doing better. Deedee is such a cutie, so happy with you.

Brooke you are doing a phenomenal job on the VW Van. I love the floor you picked out it’s not too dark and not too light. So glad you didn’t get hurt when you fell down due to the Ice. Take care of yourself Brooke because we love you and we want you to be around for a long time 😅😅😅

Dee dees demeanour is not of fear or protection, she exhibits excitement and liveliness (tail wagging, barking and biting)...she is enjoying it like some dogs enjoy trying to bite car tyres when they are moving...the noise and movement excites her and somehow ignites a basic instinct response in her.

Brooke, you did an awesome job in the VW!!! The upholstery fabric is going to look fantastic when it all comes together. ❤

I have Jack, my mini-schnauzer who attacks the vacuum cleaner and washing machine when it's to spin...I think it could be the sound that the garage door makes, right DeeDee❤

Whatever it was it was not a traumatic experience for Deedee . You can see it in her whole body with the smiles and super excited whole body wagging tail. Her reaction to the other dogs is one of territory, plus to me it looks like she is enjoying a game. She is not scared of the door but has made her own game out of it.

I love all your helpers. I have cats so I know how it goes. 😂😂

I think she is playing with the garage door? Her tail is wagging. 😊

If you watch her when the door is opening, her tail is wagging, which is a happy sign in a dog. I think it's just a fun thing for her. As for her growling, my dog growls when I'm playing tug of war with him, but he's happy and his tail is wagging at the same time.

I love how all the dogs get along and every one of them will play with each other.

Maybe the garage door or the switch may make a sound the human ear can't hear but the doggie can. It might hurt her ears. Also, you're really doing a fantastic job on that VW. I hope MC appreciates it and enjoys working with you and Jason to bring it up to the standard you all desire. I am very glad to see improvement in your health situation as well. Doing good!😊

I have a small dog, my princess, that goes crazy like this when we open the house windows on a good weather day. We’ve had her since she was 10 weeks and out of the blue she started doing this around 2 years old. She is now 10 years old and still does it. I think it’s just something she doesn’t like, she is a princess after all. 😂 And it may be the same for DeDe, too, or something may have happened. Like you said you’ll never know. But she is now loved and safe.😊

You are right you will never find out what her obsession with the garage door. Therefore, you will never be able to fix the problem. The best that you can do is support her and keep her calm and safe.

I have a pit bull who use to do that every time I turned on the mixer! I started showing her the mixer off, showing her it was not going to hurt me. Then I started turning it on without the beaters. She doesn’t go nuts anymore but she still runs to me, on high alert, when I running it! Silly dogs!

It's definitely some type of trauma, that is for sure anger. Like you said you will never know. It's so sad when we do rescue's because you just never know their previous life. She is so blessed to have come to you and have you for parents now!!! 🥰

So happy to see y'all survived the freeze.

Hard to say why DeeDee attacks the garage door, without knowing her background it could be 1 of 100 things. It looks like it is pretty common and happens more than we think, starts when they are a puppy and if not corrected it can lead to obsession. There might be steps you can take to desensitize her to it. 💓💓💓💓💓

I'm so happy to see that you are doing so well Brooke. I'm thinking it's your magic well water. Well, that's what I want to think anyway. I use WD40 on all sorts of stuff. It's amazing how that stuff works.

I’m not sure why DeDe attacks the garage door but my male chihuahua has always attacked the vacuum cleaner. As soon as he sees me get it out. He starts going after it and when I turn it on, he starts biting it. He has even nipped my calf once as I was vacuuming. I have had Bugsy the chihuahua since he was 2 months old and has had no trauma towards the vacuum cleaner . Yet he still goes after it. I always assume it might be the sound or vibration if it.

Dee Dee is reacting to the garage door like she does to the vacuum cleaner. I don't think there is a way to fix that other than continuing to tell her no and hold her so she knows she is safe. At least the garage door stays in one place, lol. She probably chases the vacuum wherever it goes! Thank you for the the video Brooke. The fact that you didn't mention how you feel, I am taking that as a good sign you are feeling better still.

i think dee dee is protecting your home shes on the job she feels she needs to work if you notice she is attacking the door imagine what you would do if a wall in your house just suddenly opens up

Wonderful job Brooke 👏.

Hi Brooke! The flooring looks great! You are one smart lady 👏👏! I bet MC likes it. ❤

Hope your still feeling well!! Glad the snow is going away. I keep praying for you and Jamie stay warm yall

I love your Assistant, Bramble. Such a great Helper! LOL

Great job Brooke - Well done - One for the ladies ☝

Deedee does not seem to be acting aggressive, or in any other way, other than excited look at her little tail wag, I think she thinks it’s a game and the noise of the garage door starting up excites her. Maybe every time the garage door opened with her previous owners. They were going to take her for a ride and she gets excited. She don’t look anxious at all to me.

Brooke, I think you're right that she was kept in a garage. Maybe someone mean used to come through the garage door, and she associates the door with that time of her life. She's probably trying to protect you from the bad person too. She's so lucky to be with you now. 🐶 ❤ Bramble, Sylvester and Biscuit will be sad when the VW transformation is complete. 🐈‍⬛ ❤ 🐈‍⬛

Bless Dee Dee’s heart. She was trying to warn all the dogs not to go in there. I bet she was locked up in a garage for extended periods of time.

You could put a solid blue backing on that plaid and make the curtains use those granites on it that will also help keep the heat out in case she needs to sleep it'll make it easy for her to sleep in it that's a thought can that plan is very pretty if you would find that blue material and put it on the back of that that would make a nice drape it would be a dual function help keep the heat out in the summer and keep the warm feeling in the winter in case she goes there where she needs to camp out she has an option I can't wait to see what it looks like what you said about the cabinets maybe change the dogs out so it's not so dark meditation or Mary Carl can make her own knobs😊 that's just a suggestion

I feel that Dee Dees' previous owners might have closed their garage door on her, briefly, causing her pain. Bless her heart, she is a mighty warrior, to be so tiny !! AND , YOU look just absolutely amazingly beautiful, Brooke !! Hoping all of your tests results are easily treatable, so that you will feel as beautiful as you look !! ❤

THE SUN IS BEAUTIFUL HERE IN SYRACUSE BUT ITS STILL COLD 28* I AM GLAD YOU ARE TAKING 1 DAY AT A TIME. I PRAY YOU CONTINUE TO FEEL BETTER ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow Brooke for a gal that "doesn't do crafts & such" you are blowing our door right off the hinges. Definitely makes my years of art courses seem like 100 yrs ago and very different times. You are so crafty and resourceful. We all know your industrious but the projects we've seen up front. But I tell ya, behind the scenes and or under the tip of-- is a large ice burg of talent. Wheeeh, I'm tuckered out just thinking of the projects I've yet to pick up.

The flooring looks great!

You are making really good progress on the VW Brooke! So glad you're doing better. The miracle well water is doing it's job. Have a wonderful day! Love y'all!💕

Glad to see you feeling good❤

Great job Brooke! A woman with many hats, many talents and no fear of trying a new challenge.

Diddy in the garage when you were explaining it I had no idea she was so vicious at it that definitely is a concern. I have no idea. But I’ve had a dog in the past who was really aggressive with my weedeater or my vacuum cleaner I thinking with him it was the noise, but I’m clueless with her because she’s really mad at it bless her heart❤

Looks good Brooke 👍. Nice job! 😊❤

Good Morning Brooke! Hope you’re feeling better. Stay warm

Poor DeDe! 😢 But she is living her best life now! ♥️🙏

I forgot Happiest of Day for G'ma Cog Hill Birthday today. May She have the Best Day Ever. and Keep being Blessed

Brook if you are still coming to KY on Friday we are getting a snow storm starting Friday evening main roads are clean but side streets are slick Tennessee is the same be very careful ❤

Hey, Brooke! Happy Thursday!! Dee Dee cracks me up!

A dog's hearing is much more acute than ours, enough so it might be a case of she can hear something in the motor and it's irritating to her. A sound that she can obviously hear as she looks up to the left of the opening door, which I'm guessing is where the motor is...

It’s obvious, to me anyhow, that precious little DeeDee has had traumatic experiences involving a garage door. Also, it seems like she has probably been locked up in the past, and left there all alone. It crushes my heart to even think about that 💔😔 She’s so very HAPPY now because she is with the best family on the planet 🥰❤️. Bless your sweet hearts, and bless DeeDee’s sweet heart ❤️🙏

Good to see your "velcro" fur baby doing well

You did a good job with the flooring and the cabinets in the VW Bus. That's what we called it back in the day.

😂😂😂😂😂😂Bramble…. So glad you kept that in the video

65 AND SUNNY SO GLAD! i CANT TAKE THE COLD WEATHER!! LOVE YA BROOKE! FLOOR LOOKS GREAT!

I love the seat upholstery color and can't wait to see it on the seats. I've stayed with my daughter the past week in Cheektowaga NY and they got 7and 1/2 feet of snow and it's still coming down. School closed all week. Love to you all.❤

Nice job on the VW bus Brooke!! I'd definitely think that your little Dee Dee had a traumatic experience with a garage door and honestly I don't know if you can fix that. It's kinda sad to think that whatever happened to her is still so fresh in her mind. Hopefully over time and consistent reassurance her memory will lessen. This was a great video Brooke and thanks for sharing. I hope y'all have a great day!

I get such joy when I see you and DeeDee riding by on the tractor together. My dog goes crazy when she see the broom or mop. By the way, I love the VW floor and the cabinets do look beautiful, the cabinets look like new. When using the steel wool on the cabinets, I think I would go with the grain instead of circling around and causing scratches you will see later. I also love the fabric you chose for the Volkswagen seats. I’ve always thought you have such good taste.

Great job and I love that flooring.

I love all the little projects you have been doing, Brooke!! You are very talented. I'm so glad that you didn't get hurt when you fell. It's so encouraging that the well water is helping you. Getting nutrients from food (water) sources is far superior to taking vitamins and supplements. Getting away from bottled water will do your body wonders. I just read an article this morning about new research that shows the nanoplastics in water and other beverages is far higher than previously expected. The types of nanoplastics are now identifiable also. They are attacking the body, causing cancers and other diseases, including immune diseases. I look forward to watching you as you continue on your journey with both the water and your medical care. ❤❤❤ As for DeeDee, I truly think she thinks it is a game when the door goes up. Watch her body language. She is prancing and wagging her tail. Now, it could also be the sound that bothers her. Test her with other things that make a similar sound, like the vacuum, weedeater, drill, chainsaw, etc. We have a Silky Terrier that will attack the vacuum, chainsaw and weedeater in the same way. We have to make sure she is not outside when my husband uses the outside power tools because she has broke free from my grasp and gotten too close to both the chainsaw and weedeater and ended up with (fortunately) minor injuries from both because she attacked them. Even after being hurt, she went right back to attack mode. I really believe some animals are more sensitive to sounds. A lot of little dogs are bred to hunt vermin and I am thinking that the vibration or pitch reminds them of some prey they should be hunting. Just my theory...

Aww DeeDee is so cute! Maybe she thinks there is someone in the garage opening the door and she wants to let them know that she is there to save the day! Great job on the flooring in the van...it's going to look awesome with the seats all plaid in blue & green. Take care, keep warm & thank you for sharing Brooke🥰

I saw it commin', & when he jumped up & everything fell, Brooke l laughed out loud for 10 minutes. I have cats. Lol

Dee Dee is very protective of her mama and its precious Brooke if she could talk to you it would how much she lives you and so thankful you took her in and helped her live her best life

We get the freeze tomorrow! I’m staying inside this weekend! Much ❤️❤️❤️

Glad you are feeling better. The V seeW is looking great. I can't imagine why DeeDee acts that way. I have a little dog as well. She goes and hides when she hears plastic rattle. When I come home from the store she hides until everything is put away. I got her at 4 weeks and we haven't done anything to make her afraid. God bless. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

She has the reaction like she was either hurt or it ‘s a sign of danger to her or to you. The bus is coming along great, nice job👍❣️

The contrast between her reacting to the garage door and being held and loved by you touches my heart. You embrace her idiosyncrasies with concern and caring.

Love your video! Still praying for you and your family. God bless. Good luck with DeeDee.

Oh my, we had so much fun in our VW camper van in the early 70s. Going up the mountains was a challenge, other than that, it was a joy.

I am convinced Brooke can do anything.

Brooke the way Dee Dee acts isn't exactly aggressive yes she growls and grabs the door but her tail is going a hundred miles an hour like it is a squeaky toy she wants to rip apart and get the squeaky out. The bus is looking great by the way. Have a good one and may your days be blessed stay safe and warm.

Awesome job on the flooring and the cleaning of the cabinets. Just wanting to mention about the water, that it had magnesium in it, there is sure a thing as magnesium deficiency I read about it a few mouths back, you might mention it to your Dr. Sure hope the well water is still helping you. Have a safe trip this weekend. ❤

So glad you didn't get hurt. How has this cold weather made you feel? It's a polar plunge without getting wet lol. Great job on the floor of the van. Bramble thinks he's helping. As far as DeeDee goes. This has to be from trauma from her life. Maybe she was shut under a door? Maybe a puppy farm. Maybe a mean person always came out of the garage? I am afraid, there is no way for her to get over it. Especially, not knowing what caused it in the first place. I would either not open the door around her, which would be hard to do or put her back in the house, which would be upsetting to her too. Hopefully, she will get used to it and it not bother her anymore. There is no danger at Cog Hill Farm for her. What about all of DeeDee's egg hiding. Hopefully you guys can find them all before they become stink bombs this summer. 🤮

Bramble and Dee Dee are so cute ❤️❤️🐶🐱💕❤️

You did a beautiful job. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Afternoon Brooke nice video glade your surviving the weather

Ot looks nice I'm glad your feeling better now I keep you in my prayers and Jamie to just hope it continues for you both

Maybe some sort of separation anxiety issue? Obviously it has to do with a traumatic experience from her past. We’ve rescued a couple of dogs that have had some idiosyncrasies. Much love to you’re family for giving her the best life ever ❤️

❤ LOVE the real life Bramble puts in there. Lol

Hi Brooke, I hope all is going well for you. It's unbelievable you did this flooring. I would never attempt a project like that. Well done. ❤❤ I have no idea why she would do that. Dogs chase cars. Lester has a dog that smells the exhaust and will chase the car to get a sniff. So, who knows? Someone might have teased her when she was a baby with a garage door.

OMG! The Amazing Brooke triumphs again!

My little Sheltie ripped the rubber right off our garage door. She would go crazy when she heard the garage door engage. I think it is the noise. The whole time it was going up or down she would go berserk! She never stopped being obsessed with it.

Your barn cats are hilarious. While you are talking all we see a tail going back and forth. Then Bramble stages up when the cardboard falls. You continue talking like nothing happened. You are the best.

Dee-dees little tail is wagging.. I'm not convinced she's scared of it. My little yorkie-russell reacts like this to hellium balloons. Barking and trying to bite but waggy tail! They both move in a strange way and are out of reach.. I think it's a mixture of emotions; excitement, a little unsure, anxious? But obsessed is a good word to use! X

I think she's protecting you. She must see it as an aggression ❤

i hope our wee DeeDee has a long time left with us all, she's a darling....well done Brooke first rate job done

Glad to see you melting away. Hopefully it won't re-freeze too bad overnight. Be careful in the morning. I love watching your real life videos with the cat knocking your stuff off😂. Poor Dee Dee must have been traumatized by a door.😢

The joys of having kitties

It's okay DeeDee whatever that garage door did in your past your safe now❤😊

Dee dee is very MAD at that door‼ "She's in the red zone about it. It, like you said, you will never know why, just watch while she is around it as you already do. God bless y'all 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️😉🐾

I think DeeDee is so cute! Those little legs and her little walk🥰

You’re doing great on the VW Bus restoration. Take your time. Don’t overdo yourself. The floor is perfect. ❤

Flooring in the bus looks great Brooke.

Hello Brooke!! I Hope today is a good day for you!! God Bless!! You are Amazing 🌹❤️

She thinks something is trying to steal your door!
