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.
