I NEVER had problems with my dogs and baths until Mari!! HA! This little girl, she turned a year Mar 29 and baths are HELL! #1 she is a big baby and I try to do it as fast as I can. I do have one tip for you. I purchased a grooming/trimming cd and it mentioned to put a bathmat in the sink. Well, I bought one and cut it up and it DID help somewhat. It gave her better footing. I would think by now, since she gets a bath every 5-7 days she would be better but she has her own personality and that is she is a little big cry baby! Good luck
