Gracie usually gets a bath every 3 to 4 weeks unless she gets terribly dirty. Her big sister Izzy (an Aussie) keeps her eyes, ears and face clean on at least a daily basis. Her face is so wet after Izzy licks her that she looks like a little werewolf.
Gracie's bathed in the sink. I bought a cheap tub mat with suction cups on the bottom and cut it to fit my sink which helps keep her from slipping. The security has helped her enjoy her bath time much more. Also, you might want to avoid sraying around the head and ears. Most dogs hate water in their ears. Maybe a very wet wash cloth on the head area would be more tolerable for Bailey. Good luck and give lots of praise and treats!!! |
