Donating YT 500 Club Member | Been thru the car wash? Have any of you taken your yorkies thru the car wash... with them inside the car of course? I was wondering what their reactions were. Have thought about doing it, but didn't want to terrorize her.

| Oh, yeah! I start them right off as puppies just for that reason. I don't want to terrorize them and I'm a regular at the car wash. She doesn't think anything about it. She really did pay a lot of attention the first time or two or three, of course. But it didn't upset her.

| I have. Mine are always very curious about it, watching and doing the whole head tilt thing. At first, I used to turn up my radio but now they don't seem to mind it.

| No but I need to because my car is filthy with all of the pollen and bad weather we've been having. Thanks for giving me an idea for our "out and about" thing to do together this coming Saturday morning

| Yeah....It was my Dh's idea!! Lucky seemed to behave like he was very alert and doing the ' Don't worry guys....I have everything under control!!' act!! But overall, he liked it! lol

| Am I correct to assume this is an automatic/drive in type car wash? I have done it several times. The first time the girls were really curious, a bit upset by the noise. I treated it like fun time, like with thunderstorms or fireworks and they have done just fine each time they have gone. Just make fun of it, take a toy and play with your Yorkie the first time or two as you are going through the car wash.
