good at bath time - YorkieTalk.com Forums

y0rkiesR0ck · 05-01-2008, 07:14 AM

anyone else's yorkie really well-behaved during bath time??? i'm really lucky that Kash is so good when it comes to taking a bath. i mean seriously. no crying and barely ANY squirming. i can hold him up with one hand and scrub him with the other. no help needed. he pretty much just stands there.

my parents' yorkie hates bath time and tries to escape out of the sink everytime.

i'm blessed that Kash doesn't give me a hard time...

also, after bath time, he rubs his face all over the carpet by scooting hiself around with his back feet... he looks crazy! lol.

lol Teddy is really good at bath time.. granted, he doesn't really like it, but he will stand still for me. i love watching him run around the house afterwards and just taking a dive and skidding face first on the carpet and trying frantically to dry his face lol..

they are funny to watch when they are all worked up like that..

Mine are also really good. Bentley's favorite day of the week is bath day. If Bentley hears water running, he thinks he's getting a bath and goes crazy. He has jumped in the bathtub with me before, and he's jumped in with my sister before too. So. We have to shut the door now. Zoey doesn't like it that much, but she's really good in the bath. I'm glad!!

My Ozzy is really good for his baths too. He just stands there and lets me wash him. I can even lightly spray his face for rinsing. He lays in my lap while I blow dry him. He loves to rub on the rug and the shower curtain to "help" the drying process

He also lets me clip and scissor him but draws the line at nail clipping. I let Daycare handle that!!

Kimchee is really well behaved when bathing, teeth brushing, hair brushing, hair drying, hair cutting. He used to run away during bath time (when he was like 4 months old), now that he knows bathing won't hurt, he stands/sit still for me to bathe him. Sometimes he enjoys so much of the bath that he falls asleep.

Pixie is great just lays in the sink and I brush her teeth every night and she lets me get way back in her mouth. Roxie wasn't too good the first 2 times I washed her but yesterday all 3 got baths and she was really good. Cali is pretty good but hates her teeth brushed.

Wrigley is good at bath time, she just stands there! No squirming or climbing to get out and she doesn't make a peep!
Crosley is a big baby and whines, she doesn't fight you really, she just lets you know she isn't happy!

Our new little girl Camden that we just adopted, was as good as gold when she had her first bath!!

alaskayorkie · 05-02-2008, 01:55 AM

Oh, you guys make me sick, lol. My guys make me feel like I'm punishing them. They don't fight badly, just look pathetic and try to squirm away whenever possible.

Johnny gets his bath in a large sink with a sprayer. He stands with his front paws on the back of the sink when I first put him in and looks at me with sad eyes but then sits or stands in the sink to get his shampoo and wash off.
He's getting better with the hair dryer but like the rest of the posts, loves to run around and dry himself on the carpet.

PunkinPie · 05-02-2008, 05:29 PM

Punkin is awesome in the bath. I bath her in the tub with a sprayer and she always walks into the water. She just doesn't like her face washed, but lets me. When she is all done we ALWAYS get a treat and play fetch. If I get side tracked she reminds me exactly how it's supposed to go.

I have heard that putting a towel under their feet in the sink or tub helps them feel more secure if needed.

Renji is really great during baths. I used to give him a bath in the sink and he used to be somewhat squirmy, but nothing too bad. Now I wash him in the bathtub and he doesn't mind at all. He does think that the tub is a giant water bowl though and tries to drink pretty much every bit of water in sight.

He even lets me take pictures of him in the bath. What a nice little guy!

TeddyandTiffy · 05-03-2008, 08:09 PM

My Sofie, Weezie, Galahad and sometimes Teddy is really good for me but now when it comes to Sage she is sometimes wanting to jump out.

Galahad scoots everywhere like a wild dog...He's bad about it..Rolls, tumbles U name it. It is bad on his coat but he does it & will not stop.

Meeko is good with baths. He doesn't like the blow drier but, can handle it. He's great with brushing, just falls asleep while I'm doing it. Brushing his teeth is a whole other story. He hates it. I've been trying to apply Petzlife gel with a q-tip tho (another YTer suggestion) and he'll at least let me get to the outside of his teeth. I'll take that tho, it's better than nothing.
