I'd say Harley tolerates the water but doesn't necessarily enjoy it. She knows when it bath time though because I comb through her and then give her a treat, then off down the hall to grab a towel. She's still small enough that I can wash her in the kitchen sink and I have a spray nozzle which makes it much easier. When she was a puppy, about 14-16 weeks, she didn't like it at all! But I think she was picking up on my energy because I wasn't yet completely comfortable with it either, not knowing how she would react. But now, she's a good girl, doesn't fight it at all...and LOVES to be pampered and cuddled once it's over. Oh and I save the face for last because I've found that once that gets wet, she gets a little uneasy and instinctively wants to shake...which is a no no. So I get everything done and then do her face so as soon as thats over, she's out in a warm towel in mama's arms. I think doing it this way actually makes it more tolerable to her because she knows that when I get to her face, it's almost over
Singing or humming is a plus too.

The pool is another story though, she likes that....I'll scoot my float over to the edge of the pool and she'll step down onto it on her own. She loves to soak up the sun in the pool
