Buy a bark collar. Eventually you won't even have to put the collar on the dog — just the sight of it will scare him/her into not barking.

Well it depends on how long he's been doing it! If years, it could be a chore! If it's been many years then put him off into a different room, or outside if you have a fenced yard or kennel. Or basement!
But if it's still young, try picking him up and hold him good and rub his chest or what ever it likes and have someone turn the vacuum on and off again and then keep holding the dog and rub the chest etc. until it calm again, and then have someone turn on the vacuum again and then off again!
But have the person turn it on and off like down in a hallway and your holding the dog like in the living room , but yet the dog can still see the vacuum! Don't run the vac too long, just a few seconds at a time! Then when the dog calms back down try it again. Do the routine about every other day for about 2 weeks or until you see it is no longer a threat to the dog!
The dog is barking or chasing the vacuum because of the loud noise, some dogs it hurts there ears, others find the vacuum as an intruder or threat to the dog or you! Yelling at the dog will not cure the problem, because knowing for sure what is making it do it, is really hard to know for sure!
My little dog runs into a different room, it's afraid of the noise! Which most cats are afraid of vacuum cleaners. If all attempts fail, then maybe leaving the vacuum out like in the living room, and turning it off and on when you walk by it through the day for about a week could cure the problem pretty quick too! Because after hearing it so much, it will lose interest in it!
If the dog only barks when your actually using and moving the vacuum around, trying vacuuming slower movements for a while to pin point what exactly is triggering the barking! If it's both the nose and movement, place a small towel over the top of the head of the vacuum ( you may have to tape it so the vacuum doesn't suck it up) to see if there's a change in the dogs barking! But if it seems nothing works, then it would be best to just put the dog off in a different closed room or basement for the vacuuming times!
