He's been my dog since he was about 5-6 weeks(I know, way too early, but it's a long story), and I've never tormented with my sneezes or anything, haha! He just hates it when I sneeze. Oddly enough, he could care less if anybody else sneezes, only me!
Similarly, my dogs are afraid when someone coughs. I don't know if it's just the fact that it's a loud noise, or if it sounds like some sort of bark or growl to them, but whenever they hear a cough they run away and look at you with these big, terrified eyes, as if they think they're in trouble. I always have to comfort them afterwards to let them know that there's nothing wrong. This makes cold season a pretty frightful one for them.
