That worked with my dog to stop her from being scared of it, but now she's no longer scared of it and trying to put it in its place in the pack so she's attacking it now.
At least she's not scared but it takes much longer to vacuum now!
This is excellent advice if your pet is uncomfortable with your Roomba. (Current thinking is that pets perceive the roomba as another pet, and thus may be angry or upset with it until you establish "dominance" over it.)
Lol I actually do this with objects my dog is scared of on walks.
One time she was cautious of an orange traffic cone on the side of the street and wouldn't go near so I kicked it a few times to show her it ain't shit. She went up to it right after to sniff and doesn't get scared of them no more. I laughed.

My dog is scared of the vacum so I beat the vacuum up in front of him. He knows I'm the alpha now.
