Two of my dogs love them, but one HATES them. She cries and whines the whole time and then sulks and won't come near me for the rest of the evening afterwards. She's such a drama queen! My other dogs, all I have to do is open the bathroom door and call to them and they run in and jump into the tub. How about your dogs, love'em or hate'em?

My BC is not fond of grooming of any kind. He is tollerant at his best. Treats have not helped to change his mind, so I understand what you are saying.
I have found however that he loves to play in the hose, so during warmer times of year, we play in the hose a while and it helps keep him cleaner between baths.

my Boston Terrier loves baths. If I am in the shower and leave the dog ajar, my pooch is in the tub to shower with me.
I think it's a matter of how you train you dog. If you start to train them right away and make regular bath a part of that, your dog will love baths.
If you have an older dog who has never been bathed, than you might have a hard time,
Bath days is my house is for my dog and my cat who both love the water.

I have a Lhasa and Lhasa's cannot swim, they will drawn, but funny enough, he loves to take a bath, he will jump right in. When I take a shower he tries to get in, he stands up on the side of the tub and whines. My groomer told me not to give my dog a bath between groomings because it is not good for his skin and his fur, it robs the skin of necessary oils. I would not have ever known that until she told me.

My dog loves baths. She will run into the bathroom and jump into the tub and sit there and wag her stump of a tail. I know that my parents dogs hate baths. Im lucky with having one that likes them!

My parent's dog tolerates them, but always gives us sad looks. My brother's golden retriever used to hate getting bathed, until my brother started using cool water. Then he loved it! If your dog that hates the water is a not a water dog, then it's probably never going to like it. If she is, then you might just be using the wrong temperature of water for her!

I have a small dog and he looked at me like I was abusing him the first time I gave him a bath. He does pretty good now. Just start slow with yours to build up your baby's ego. It'll get easier!

My dog hates them. He faught them a lot at first but I started doing them consistantly and now he just sits there and pouts during the bath. Give her lots of praise when she does well. She probably will never like them but may learn to tolerate them.

till your dogs has a scientific undertaking, you relatively shouldn't bathe greater effective than as quickly as each 2 weeks on the main. ideally it won't be greater effective than as quickly as each 4 weeks (so, as quickly as a month...notwithstanding breeds like westies or poodles or schnauzers who do no longer shed could do nicely to be bathed each 2-3 weeks because of the fact the airborne dirt and airborne dirt and mud and oil rather advance in the event that they flow too long between baths). time-honored bathing, inspite of gentle cleansing soap, in many circumstances strips the oils from the dogs coat and actually dries their epidermis out that may cause them to itchy and flaky. oftentimes, dogs with seasonal/environmental allergies income from getting a tub as quickly as each week. And there are some epidermis circumstances which will income from being bathed greater oftentimes than as quickly as each week (presently my hypersensitive reaction dogs is getting bathed each 4 days because of the fact he has patches of epidermis that are threatening to alter into contaminated and my vet could want to handle it topically...ie bathing with medicated shampoo and conditioner...particularly than positioned him on antibiotics). notwithstanding, in case you're bathing your dogs greater oftentimes than as quickly as a month you relatively must be utilising a conditioner formulated for dogs as nicely as an relatively gentle shampoo.
