Super cute! The secrets to getting dogs to love baths and willingly jump into tubs are
- Always prepare warm water. They despise cold water.
- Be gentle, pet then praise them for positive reinforcement.
- Massage while shampooing them simultaneously.
Mine loves massages. He thinks it's a reward :-)
Mine hesitated going to the vet too so I had to bring him for a walk so that it would urinate and poop before we go.
Oh thank you for the kind advice my friend.
As a pup Troy was taken to a dog trainer to help him socialize with other dogs, but little Troy had a harrowing experience as a pup and the trainer told us that there was nothing that he could do for him.
Now Troy is an old guy set in his ways and no amount of petting and loving is going to change his mind. Warm water or cold water, he hates all water Lol. Almost drowned when he jumped into a river trying to get into my canoe and since then, he and water has not been friends Lol.
I think it is the smell at the vets place that turn most dogs off.
Blessings!
