From hiding to jumping in the bath! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sorry, it's about the bath again

But I'm so proud that he officially jumps in by himself now and just 2 weeks ago I couldn't get him out from under the bed! I never thought he would dive right in

His feet were muddy from our walk.

Aw! I love Joel too! Sometimes I think you have to let them make their own decisions!

Good boy, Joel! I am so jealous.

Lucky you! We just watched that three times because it seems so unbelievable! I need to go back and try your strategy and see what happens.

The secret is filling the tub and let them watch you putting their favorite toys in, just ignore them and go sit down bebecause they're expecting you to grab them and put them in but if you wait they'll eventually ASK to get in the tub. You could even use new toys they haven't seen before

Great Job Joel ! I wish Galen would do that. He had such a problem in the tub now I wash him in the sink. He would always try to jump out.

Good job Joel!!! Looks like you had a fun walk with those dirty little paws.

Namor · 03-30-2014, 02:44 PM

Wow!!! But his feet were dirty!!!! That's why he wants a bath.

So adorable.

I love his curly tail!! Reminds me of Kaji's.

so glad for you that Joel loves bath time now.

That's awesome! Sophie runs and hides (and shakes) when she sees the sink being set up for bath time. I can't imagine her EVER willingly jump into any body of water, haha.
