I don't know if this helps or not, but with Mazee I found that it helped when I first got her to have hubby help also. He would feed her treats while I washed her and kept telling her how good she was. She associated the treats with the bath being a good thing. I also use the kitchen sink, with a soft sprayer, so the water doesn't scare her. She also does better if I face her away from me, she doesn't try to get up out of the sink that way. My sink is on my kitchen bar area, so she isn't facing the wall but my dining room, I think this helps also. I save her head for last also..that does seem to stop the "shake all the water off NOW" thing..LOL Hopefully you will get some good hints to help calm Eva down. good luck! |
