    My dog has been acting a little off lately. Ever since I used the 'clean' option on my stove she has been hiding under my bed and wanting to spend most of her time on my bed and is timid in the living room. My mom is convinced this is because of the stove super heating to clean itself which created a smell but I think it may be something different. Any ideas?

    If your actually worried about her take her to a vet, but it may well just be the smell. Apparently different breeds are differently affected by strange smells.

    If she keeps up acting like this I will. I just can't afford it. My other dog has a lot of problems and she just has to cope since vets can be so expensive

    turn on any vent fans you have in your residence, and consider putting a fan in a while to draw the smell out, and bring fresh air in for a little bit.

    Not a bad idea.

    I'm curious if it's emitting a high frequency noise your dog finds disagreeable. Think dog whistles but from your oven. Get a dog whistle and see if it elicits the same reaction in your dog.

    I suggest this because it's how my parents' dogs behaved around dog whistles and other very high pitched loud sounds.

    That's actually what went through my mind too. It could be a combination of that and the smell. Dogs are perceive so many things that we don't.
