Chelsea hates baths, I can tell by her pouty face. I tried the sink in the utility room, but I get bathed more than she does. It was HORRIBLE, for both of us.
But I discovered....THE SHOWER, I get in first, and shower myself, then I open the shower door, and Chelsea walks into the shower stall. I keep her shampoo and conditioner in there. I bubble her up, rinse her with the hand held shower head, bubble up again, she doesnt seem to mind it, then rinse well again, and add the conditioner. I hang her towel on the shower door, so I let her stand and shake out, then grab my towel and her towel and wrap her.
NOW, drying her is another thing! She hates the towel, so I try to keep her in my lap, until the towel can absorbs most of the water. Then I place the towel on the floor, and let her rub on it. Since she understands the command, "SPIN DRY" (chases her tail), and I will command her to do it!!!
EVENTUALLY...WAAAA LAAAA...a clean & dry Chelsea!
BTW.....I used the cute picture of the wet Yorkies, as a wallpaper on my desktop!
