| Hating bath time! Gabby HATES bath time! I just got done giving her a bath and she's sitting in the corner sulking like I just attacked her sovereignty! This is probably the worst case of stink eye I've seen from her yet! She's never had a bad experience with baths, so I don't know why she hates them so much. You'd think as often as she gets them, she'd just learn to accept them by now. I have to admit, it's so funny to watch her doggie paddle in the sink as soon as I turn the water on. I hold her belly and those little legs just start moving. Am I the only one owned by a yorkie that hates bath time? |

| My moms yorkie is not fond of baths but he is much better now then he was when she first rescued him. I talk to them and like to make up fun silly songs and sing to them while I do it and that seems to help. I try to keep Callie on a schedule and bathe her the same day every week and she is pretty used to it and doesn't seem to hate it. One thing Callie doesn't like is if the water is coming out of the faucet to much or to loud.

| That little snot! I just gave her a treat to make up for the bath time (bribery works, right?). She just brought it back over and laid it on the floor by my feet! I guess I'm really in trouble now! LMBO! |

| Love my double sink! I don't have to submerge her. She stands in one side with her feet up on the divider. I let the water run into the empty side so I keep the temp good and use the sprayer to wet and rinse her. She just stands in an inch or two on a towel. She tolerates it and gets me a few times with some good shakes. When she is done she is a crazy lady rubbing her face all over the carpet. Don't know if she is trying to get scent on it or dry herself more or what. She shakes so hard to get the water off that she almost loses her balance. it's quite funny. |

| My guys do not really like the bath. They used to try to escape from the bathtub. I bought a bathmat for them and that seems to have made all the difference. Now they can stand in the tub without slipping. I bet they were looking at me like I was the silly mom for not realizing that one sooner. |

| I bath Gabby in the kitchen sink using a sprayer. Under her, I have this rubber mat you put in to keep your dishes from breaking. No dice. She's still not having any part of that. There are times I feel like I'm bathing a cat with her! |

| Gracie is not fond of bath time but she is pretty good about it. She gets a weekly bath so it is routine for her. I bought a Rinse Ace Rinse Ace 3-Way Pet Faucet Sprayer at PETCO from PetCo and it has cut the bath time in half. It works great and no more cup to rinse her off. She doesn't get cold either. I never let her down until I am done blowing her dry and have given her a treat. By then she is one happy camper and has forgotten the shame of the bath. |

| I bath George in the bath with a big bucket in it so he stands up in the bucket holding onto the edge and gets shampood up then rinsed off and then into the actual bath water (only low) for his final rinse, then snuggled into a big towel and upstairs to the dryer and a brush out then it's treat time (the best bit he says)always the same, always trembles with fear, I have to make sure he's inside when I start getting ready otherwise he'd be off hiding out somewhere under trees or something, if Dad's home he goes and hides out with him. Makes me feel a meanie but wow he is beautifull when he's done.

| I haven't bathed my pups yet they are 14 weeks. Booked to go to the groomer next week for a bath and puppy cut. She showed me how to trim their nails and made me do it while she watched. I was really nervous. She was great. She said if there is anything else I was to learn just to ask her. She will be doing herself out of business at this rate. Lol
