| Is everyone else using the hand held sprayer head too? The first shower Scoobers got was with a regular shower head-well kind of I had GIANT sunflower shower head (yes I know horrible on water conservation but it was freaking awesome!) he did okay with it on the 'mild rain' setting but if it were a traditional shower head I'm sure he'd have freaked with the hand held it's just like a groomer uses. I did however at first with Elvis consider putting the shower doors back on because of the escape he did through the curtain and not to really trap him in but to contain him in for his and my safety. It too a few times of me just getting the entire bath room soaked! The biggest key thing we have to do here is to soak the dog as soon as they get in, once they are wet they'd like "Forget-it I'm wet I might as well get cleansing conditioned and hang in here with mom" I totally use WEN on the dogs. Derik would kill me-hahaha-I've totally made him take Princess Monster in the shower with him! He's said very dirty words going down the hall and then calls me to come get her once he's washed her off so he can shower himself!

| Yes! I've taken ZoE in the shower with me many a time . It's not her standard bath time. I still prefer to put her in a tub in the kitchen sink so she gets thoroughly soaked and cleaned all over, at our regular grooming sessions. But, for those times when she's starting to get a lil stinky and I'm showering anyway, I'll take her in there with me for a quick wash. She sleeps in my bed and I just can't stand sleeping next to a smelly dog.

| I've only showered with my Westie because she jumped in unexpectedly. My husband on the other hand showers with the girls often- because that's hot we bathe them. He washes them in shower one at a time and then hands them to me and I towel dry them. |

| I do not shower with Kaos, but he did however jump into the tub while I was taking a bath once. Otherwise he is content to stand with his paws over the tub and lick my arm as I take a bath. Yes, he is an odd one.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I've taken Morgan in the shower with me since the day I got her 5 1/2 years ago. We do this at least once a week. At first I had a tub with shower doors so she didn't have much of a choice, however a few months ago we put in a second bathroom with just a large walk in shower with curtain. She stays put in that one too. My shower head has a hose so I leave her on the floor and just bend down to wash and rinse her.

| I WISH either of the Boys liked taking a shower with DH or myself, but I have to chase Neo down if he thinks its bathtime! Connor, not so much, but still lets me know he is NOT happy being bathed. Long time ago, I had an AWESOME cat that actually loved water! I couldn't take a bath or shower alone if Taffy was in the house. Usually if I was soaking in the tub, he would gingerly step from the edge of the tub onto my chest or tummy and let me splash him with the bath water. Once, there was a day of extreme heavy rain, almost a flash flood. Water came up almost to the top step at the front door. Taffy had been inside all day and wanted out. I opened the door to show him the water, and he DOVE off the step, swam around a little, and came back in like it was the most normal thing in the world for a cat to do! He never ceased to amaze me and everyone that knew him. I still miss him like crazy 24 years later! |

| lola does not like a bath in the sink, at all. she has taken a shower with my fiance once and last time we gave a bath i got in the tub with her, she did ok with alot of attention and praise. we are going to take her to a new groomer soon who is amazing and doe it out of her home and gives the pup as much time as they need, looking forward to her monthyl grooming and seeing how that goes. the baths at home tho i dont mind doing that with her if makes her less nervous |

| Tibbe watches with his paws on the tub rim but I fear it would scare him too much if I tried to pick him up and put him in with me. I tried to bathe Jilly once while I was taking a shower and it scared her. She did not being held up under the water with nothing below her feet like in the sink and she was very nervous until her bath was done. Never tried it since.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Our pup plays with daddy while I shower. I guess I like my privacy. But she sure does try to come and investigate what I'm doing.

| Three dogs, three kids here I'm thinking it's necessicary water conservation LOL! No in all honesty I wash them in out tubs (using the hand held shower nozzle thingy) by themselves sometimes too, and Elvis and Princess use the kitchen sink for little washed if I'm doing stuff in the living/dining area I can't get away from. Them jumping in the shower while I'm in there is totally a convince thing here. TIME wise. I'd not let them in my bath, ever, sorry-that's just a lil too encroaching for my comfort-maybe yall have bigger tubs than ours, plus I have filthy lil beasts here! I mean serious brown water going down the drain in the prerinse! I'm loving everyone's sharing here. Glad to know I'm not alone here too! A swimming cat I love it! Toe lickers...hahhah! Elvis licked my ankle when I was just out the shower and brushing my teeth one time, I screamed he jumper & ran, never has happened again!

| I had a foster that would lay up on the edge off the bath tub and if I wasnt paying attention she would jump into the bath! That dog had to be at my side 24/7! She is now placed in a home with an older couple who recently retired and travel alot!

| This is so weird because my coworker just said last week that her poodle showers with her son. Loves the water. Choppa will come in and race up and down the tun while I soak so I just thought he wanted water so u keep a water bowl in there for him. He would lick my toes ie calf when u got out so I thought he was just really really thirsty. He loves the rain so since I have the removal shower head I guess u will let him in to see if he likes it. I think its cool. Get both washed up quickly plus Choppa lives water. He is such a good boy I like to treat hum with stuff he likes.

| Are you kidding? Kacee goes the other way. She wants no part of it. My lil Muffin used to always come in and lay on the bath rug while I was in there showering or bathing. One time I was taking a soaker and Muffin jumped in with me! It was so funny.
