    5 dogs - no one likes baths. All will do whatever they can to get away when they think it is bath time.

    dogs are compelled to snarl occasionally."

    Sadie loves them!!! Spot and Cincy are both very good about them, but I think given a choice, they would skip 'em Cincy loves to be dried off afterward though!

    Dakota and Destiny hate baths! I'm not sure how I'm going to bath them while Brian's away, he always took care of that part. Sierra is pretty good about them and she's little enough that I can force it even if she didn't. DAKOTA will be my real challenge! Me fighting with a pup bigger than me, weighs more than me, who doesn't like showers, yeah, that's gonna be fun!

    Maddie absolutey loves getting a bath. She loves the jets of
    water, massaging her back and the toweling off part best.

    Murph is good about it, but the only part he really seems to love
    is the toweling off.

    Oz started out being scared and hating bathes, so I'd get in
    my bathing suit and get in the tub with him. Talk calmly to him,
    while I'd toss a lil' water on him and he slowly started
    to get more use to it. He eventually got too big for me to
    lift up and into the tub, so I bought a shower attachment and
    just walk him into the shower now. I can tell he still doesn't
    like it, cuz he'll try to lick the water off his legs as soon as it
    hits them, but for the most part he's real good about it. He's
    even gotten to where, when it's Maddie or Murph's turn, he'll
    stick his nose into the shower to see what's up.

    Par...

    Yes and no...Malone loves to climb into the bathtub and schnoofle () around in it, and he doesn't mind the water being turned on. But he isn't too sure of the soap part and the rinsing part. He kinda freaks out. But I think that with every bath, he is getting used to it.

    hm interesting, I just finished bathing kai. He's had about 5 or so in his life. So maybe about every 2 months. He just loves getting dirty... Today, he was pretty good. I got in my bathing suit and went in with him to hold him and calm him down. I think he's scared of them cuz I saw him kinda shiver but he got better as we went on. The best part, is seeing him react after a bath.
    he's even gotten better at blowdrying. He use to be terrified. We slipped on a collar and leash to hold him there but he slipped out with ease. But today, we decided to put him in his crate and blow dry him from the outside...I guess he realized that it's not so bad. It sure makes a difference when I blow dry his coat...it's all puffy now.

    Here's a pic of him drying off attached.

    Leather LOVES baths, as long as they are in the bath tub

    Timber hates baths, she tolerates them, but she will make a few attempts at a getaway She stands in the tub, with a truly pathetic look on her face

    Frisco and Icarus absolutely HATE baths. Wanna see what they do to me when I give them baths???

    And they've done worse They SCREAM when I give them baths - I mean it, they screech to the high heavens. It's because I don't give them baths very often, only every month or two, so they never have a chance to get used to it..

    Sara HATES baths. When I put her in the tub, she yowls like a siamese cat. She doesn't scratch me, but she tries to jump out alot. One time it got so bad I had to tie her up in there, poor baby
    I've been BOO'd!
