Bath day!!

fireworksinjuly · 07-21-2004, 12:26 PM

All three dogs had a bath today...

This is Kino partially dry

He was a lot worse right after the bath...

The carpets also got shampooed and all dog blankets washed, and cleaned the bathroom after their baths....I was busy today...and still have our bedroom to do some time...

Aww little wet Kino looks so cute

How did everyone like their baths?

Shredder and Runt are used to it so they sit and take it...I think theyve realized if they dotn fight theyll be done sooner...small bodies with short hair dont take too long..

While Kino likes being a pain, its only his second bath so far. Hopeully with time he will do better. He takes forever as it is with his fur.

He looks relieved thats it all over.. He is such a pretty dog.. Even when wet..

How can you prepare/train a new puppy to become a dog that actually likes to take a bath? Any tips?

Kino still isnt great but I just give him really really good treats after it, like liver stuff, or home baked puppu canolies, and tons of praise and affection while hes being bathed.

I don't think you can teach a dog to like getting a bath. Some dogs will always hate it. But you can start while your pup is young maybe just putting him in the tub and wetting him down without shampoo(save that for when he's actually dirty) and make it a pleasent experience.
