Can confirm, Loiosh got scared BAD when he was still pretty young by a diesel truck doing the air brake thing -- big truck hissed at him, totally understandable -- & I used counterconditioning over the next year or two to get him okay with them again. Took a while -- mostly because started out using treats as the positive thing, when it turned out he just wanted love.
