Until they get adjusted and accept baths, I just put warm water in the sink, only about knee high and let them stand in that shallow warm water for a while...use your free hand and "cup" water up over her back, slowly and gently....you may only be able to do this much the first time, if she is going slap dab crazy at this point, just make it a short experience, and the very instant you can get her to stand still and be quiet, praise, praise, praise and remove her from the bath water while she is being good.....DONT take her out while she is acting like a kamikaze......you just have to be gradual and work slowly and she will adjust....especially when behaving, when the bath gets over with and she gets out and gets a TREAT!!!!
