I tip up the head & get the top of the head & underneath the chin wet, but I usually avoid using the sprayer on the rest of the head/eyes/nose & around the ears (unless I'm in a hurry) & use the baby washcloth instead. I use a baby washcloth & put a little bit of shampoo on it & get the head, outside ears (I don't touch the inside of the ears - I use ear cleaner fluid stuff for the inside of the ears) & around the eyes, and I also rinse off the wascloth & use the rinsed washcloth to rinse the pup. It is much less stressful for them. I bet if you try that it will give you a little more control over where the water goes. Best of luck to you at bathtime!
Oh thank you! that could be really helpful!!
