If it's any consolation, Thor hates bath time too. I thought I was going to luck out on that too, because he wanted to take a shower with me a few times, and I figured, hey, short road from a group shower to a nice bath. I'm lucky in that Thor is too small to jump out of the tub, or fight me too hard. I can't imagine how people with stronger dogs manage to brush their teeth.

Anyway, I don't have much to suggest, except that someone else here heats up the towels used to dry the dog. That does seem to help in the aftermath. If you microwave a towel for 45 seconds, it's nice and toasty, the perfect thing for an angry wet dog to roll around in.

Oh, forgot to mention one other suggestion for making his bathtimes easier - make them less frequent. You don't want to overbathe your dog. I think two weeks is standard. It's a bit of a struggle for me because they use this fish fertilizer on the grass in Thor's favorite park and he REEKS of day old fish afterwards. And I take him to that park a few times a week. I haven't figured out the right balance there.
