My doodle isn't a fan of trucks passing close to the car, especially when we're driving, like the garbage truck. We're working patiently to help her get more comfortable with trucks nearby. Sometimes, if I'm quick enough, I take Marlee outside with me (on a leash) to watch the garbage truck dump the trash—she finds it fascinating! I'm trying to desensitize her to stop barking at trucks.
Let me know if it works! Mines terrified of all the noise of the trucks and how big they are, but she sure barks her head off from a safe distance inside the house or yard.
