Zeus doesn't like baths or showers and as soon as he thinks he's getting one, he hides.
He has to have one every other day because of allergies and the special shampoo/conditioner requires it to sit on his skin for 10 minutes each, so I find it much easier for him to take a shower with me. What I do is do his shampoo first and then I get onto YT for a few minutes, rinse him off and put his conditioner on, go back to YT and then hop in the shower.
We have a tub shower so he can move around and I don't have to worry about water getting in his eyes or ears. It's a standard shower head so I just pick him up and rinse the conditioner off of him when he's ready. He'll do the typical run-around-FREEEEEEEDOM!!! dry off afterwards and when he's ready to be blow-dryed (about 5 minutes later) he comes running up to me and waits. Loves the drying part, hates the bath...
It works for us and because he's bathed so often, it's just more convenient this way.
