| Bathing Your Yorkie Ever have issues to bathe your Yorkie~? He's fine until he has to be rinsed off of his face and then it's a battle. I pretty much have a bath with him with all his shaking he does~! |

| It's a battle to take a shower by yourself in my house... He jumps in and barks at you till you wash him.

| I use a wet wash clothe to rinse Joels face and keep rinsing the clothe until the soap is off. So then the waters not directly going on his face |

| Aren't you a lucky thing, unless your kidding~! I have to wait till he settles down to do anything to him. There is no way he would jump into the shower. |

That is what I've been doing too. But I guess I get impatient and try holding his face in some sort of way to hose him off in the sink. It's still a battle then, since he's squiggling around. He did give me a bunch of licks a bit ago thanking me for my troubles....or so I hope | |

BUT do NOT even try to put the stuff in his ears to dry up the water and brushing teeth is hard because he eats all the toothpaste before you can brush lol

| Mine sometimes almost falls asleep in the bath lol. I rinse Callie with a shower head but if it comes any where near her face she will wiggle away and just hates it so I use a small little pitcher and carefully and slowly rinse her face with that.

| What type of shower do you have?? mine is a walk in with a door so 99% of the time that is how Lola gets bathed. When it comes to her face it's a challenge, but I do the face cloth thing and then hold my hands over her eyes and spray for a good rinse, she is 5.5Ls I am 100++++ so guess who wins. She also gets her teeth brushed in the shower, then she gets blow dried and brushed, she hates it all, oh well I hate a smelly tangled up dog so somehow we compromise.

| I guess I just got the odd puppy who loves water so much we had to get him one of the kid's sprinkler water toys for the yard to play in lol he runs and bites at the water getting his face soaked.

| oddly Lola is quite the swimmer, we live on a lake and it is hard keeping her from going in. She also dock dives, and attacks running sprinklers, but baths are a whole differnt animal, wierd!!!!!
