Build up your dogs tolerance to the hoover. You will need someone else to help you with this, some patience, and your home with get a thorough hoover in the process!
One person sits with dog in room with a supply of treats or toys to distract your dog - whatever makes her tick.
The second person goes to the furtherst point in your home with the hoover.
Use the hoover. If the dog reacts the first person will distract the dog by calling her back to the telling her to sit, giving her a treat and praising her.
When the dog is happy with the distant hoover sound and doesn't react anymore, hoover person moves to a nearer room. Repeat process as slowly as neccessary for your dog to relax to the hoover sound.
Eventually you will bring the hoover into the same room. Make sure she doesn't react to the sight of your hoover - if she does, use the same method, distracting her until she can't be bothered with it anymore. Then switch it on and if she reacts, your friend must call her away as usual.
I used this with my dog and the lawn mower and he leaves me alone now. Its a good method because it means you don't get cross and shout at your dog and wave the hoover around enforcing her firm belief that the hoover must be killed!!

As soon as yuo get the Vacume out ready, to use, get someone else to put a lead on your dog. Start using the vacume,, each time it starts barking and attacking the Vacume cleaner
Get that person to take it by the lead and make the Dog sit down out of reach from the Cleaner and watch u,, when it calms down, let the lead go, if it starts again, take the lead again
Keep doing this it will soon learn that the Vacume cleaner is no threat, or a thing 2 play with

dont hover,hoover instead (despite copy write laws) you will find that the dog will go for the machine because it may think its a threat to its privacy if all else fails put the dog out when you are cleaning. PS using a broom wont help if its anything like my two the broom will be chased as well

fill an empty bottle with loose change
turn on the hoover
when dog barks throw the bottle on the floor
calmly say bad dog or something along them lines
turn off hoover and try again
repeat for a least a week
works for almost anything when training a dog

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/gj458
By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.
To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

does she seem afraid of it? Does she run and try and attack it, or run and hide from it? perhaps she simply wants to be louder than the hoover? Maybe...put her in a crate, ignore her barking, get someone else to continually hoover all the time until she stops barking - the second she does give her HEAPS of love and praise, and snacks - ignore her the second she starts again, and everytime she stops give praise and snacks. She'll get the message that barking is not good.

try switching it on and leaving it in one place without moving it. It might not be the sound. It might be you moving it around that distresses the dog. He might see it as a threat and wish to fight it. Failing that, make an outfit for it and dress it up as someone your dog does like and maybe it will leave it alone
