| I give Deiter a bath in the sink. I started in the tub also. When I went to the sink, Deiter did alot better. I talked to him the whole time telling good boy, & no shake. Then after everything done. I gave him a good boy treat. I hope this helps.

| I take a shower and then after I am done I get Teddi who is usually laying on the rug next to the shower and bring her in. I shower her and then wrap her in a towel and put her in the sink. She curls up in the blanket and I blow dry her in the towel in the sink. I dry one side and then flip her over and do the other side. She doesn't seem to mind because she is all cozy and warm.

| Hunter who is now 6 months old was just like your little one. He hated baths and getting dried off. I also started off in the sink but now he gets his baths in the bathtub. He is finally starting to calm down some but still tries to jump out of the tub. As for towel drying its like a doctor Jekyll and Hyde thing, he hates it and will attack the towel by growling and biting hard while I am drying him, its like hes a different dog. I hope he grows out of it as he gets older. |

| I started by bathing mine in the kitchen sink then switched to the shower. I do have a bathing noose for them - one end has a suction cup so you can attach it to the wall. I don't need it anymore for Kalani because he is so good with baths and just stands still for me. Hoku tends to scoot little by little till I'm stretched to the limit so I use the noose on her to keep her in one spot.

| I still bathe my girls in the sink. When they are babies I use to cup their chest in my left hand, holding on to their right leg with my fingers while they were in the standing position. This calms them and I would talk to them and make it a fun time. They have never fought it. |

| Rusty is just about 6 months and i bathe him in the tub. The first bath he had he HATED! but every bath since has gotten a little better. Just keep at it and he should eventually start to like it, or at least stay still and tolerate the bath
