Make bath time and grooming as fun and enjoyable for you little one as possible. Give him plenty of praise and tiny treats throughout to encourage good behavior. |
Mine are the opposite. They tolerate bath time. But they love being groomed & brushed. My boy even gets jealous when he sees me grooming one of his sisters, so I have to groom the girls with the bedroom door closed. Otherwise, he does does that growl/bark/sounds like he's talking to me thing. They've been known to fall asleep while getting their hair dried & they often fall asleep during their nightly brushing. I'm glad they enjoy the grooming part, because I really do enjoy it as well.
