You know, Chewy used to HATE baths, but I realized one day that they are really sensitive to water temperature. If they are shaking, it's not fear and loathing...try amking the water warmer...if they start getting crazy-eyes and / or panting in that desperate way, then cool it down some.
After a while, I found that perfect temp for Chewy and now I wouldn't say he LIKES baths, but it doesn't take two people to bathe him any more! In fact, recently I was almost done, realized I didn't have conditioner and told him: "chewy! Stay!" and went to the bathroom to get some. When I came back he was sitting in the sink. He looked unhappy, but that's a very far cry from how it used to be. |
