She's not a nervous pup, so I don't know why she seems so scared of the tub. I know she needs another bath soon, but I'm worried it's to stressful for her . Do all pups hate having baths? Are there ways to make them enjoy it? How often do I have to bathe her and are there any tips for washing the face and below the eyes? Thanks for the help.
Hi and welcome to YT. Is this your first yorkie and her first bath? Sounds like pretty normal behavior to me. Some learn to like it, some tolerate, and some hate it. I do mine in the kitvchen sink, but there is the risk of them trying to jump, but it saves the back. I don't put water in the sink, I just use the sprayer. Then blowdry.
