Wow! Judy, that is AWESOME advice about running away from them to get them to come back!!! I would've never thought of that. Thank u!!! But if u only bathe them every 2 weeks, what do u do in between to keep them fresh? Sometimes when he comes back in from outside, he's so stinky and I'll spray him with a little conditioner mixed with water in a bottle that I use to brush him.

That works!

I also use baby wipes for the personal area and do "spot washes" on the face or personal areas as needed.

And some dogs might need a bath more often, but mine really have issues with dry skin if I don't wait at least a week and a half or so at least.
