| I am not sure what kind of tips you are looking for. I always us baby shampoo on their heads and the dog shampoo on the rest of their bodies. Make sure you cover their ears so they dont get the water in them. It is better to brush them when they are clean and just blow dried or semi dry. Dont brush when they are dirty. Not sure what else to add. I bathe mine in the sink and they stand with their front legs on the divider in the sink and they do pretty good. I have a couple that are still a little freaked with the water on their face. I use Coat Handler Shampoo and conditioner, Chris Christensen Brush, and I am not sure of the brand but a metal comb I got at a show. Make sure you rinse very well so they dont itch and are shiny. Not sure what else to add. |

Towels - lots - for them Ok kidding on the valuim - but I used to use Tearless shampoo when mine were babies - and try to not get water in the ears. The faster you do the bath the less stressed they'll be unless they really love the water - I have one Water MONSTER and one that doesn't like it- she gets the fast baths and YorkieUSA is right - RINSE VERY WELL ALWAYS ! also - getting them used to the hairdryer young is a good idea - but always keep it far enough away where they don't get burned and keep the temp very comfortable - not hot !! | |

| I use oatmeal soap on their buddies and baby shampoo on their heads. I have a sprayer attachment which helps me a lot.
