do your dogs like the bath

I was wondering if anyones dogs actually like the bath
Archer has always hated the bath, you only have to say bath and he's cowering in his bed
cleo on the other hand seems to love it, tonight whilst i was in the bath my little shadow came to find me, she sat whining at the edge then promtly jumped in and started splashing, I was not amused !!!! I will have to lock the door in future lol x

no, Inca doesn't enjoy it, but she'll stand there and take it - she mostly hates the drying! I can't get near her with a towel, so I have to set up a towel pile directly in front of the heater so she will actually get dry and not dampen my whole house, or get the chills.

Mine have no choice they get a shower like it or not at least once a month minimum. Indi gets more if i am at a show with him.

When i want to wash them i just take them in the bathroom and say nothing. I don't make a big deal of the situation, i find the less fuss the better.

yes,cairo likes having a bath she even sits down in the bath while i get the shower onto her.but she doesnt like puddles or the rain lol..go figure that one out!

neither of mine like the bath n i dont enjoy doin it either its a load of hassle specially tidying up after ....im looking forward to going to devon soon they have a car wash n behind it theres a dog wash a proper do it yaself dog wash, bath n all i cant wait ,they need one of them here lol

Axle and ember are both pretty good at bath time, axle just gets in and sits down and relaxes whereas ember likes to stand up and watch everything thats going on!

mine hates it we have to pick ours up to get them in anywere near the bathroom, candy never use to be like this when she was a pup we gave her regular baths/showers so she was used to it over the last three months she has got scared for some reason

Harley had his first shower the other day with me lol, he was on his hind legs in the shower the whole time, looked like Stallone in First Blood when he gets hosed down by the Sheriff.

He smells lovely now though, can't see he liked it!

I half fill the bath with warm water and Charlie jumps in, Then I put the shower on her that way and she doesnt make a fuss apart from shaking the water off constantly, I get soaked lol. She doesnt mind it though but she HATES getting dryed for some reason and tries to run off

Cassie hates a bath but loves the paddling pool

Nope, Tyson hates the bath, But he does like to get in the shower with me. Go figure?

My two hate the bath until they are getting washed.I think its got something to do with getting lifted into the bath.They loved splashing in the puddles today when they went for a walk.

Paddy is not keen on the bath but at our caravan he goes and sits and waits in the shower cubicle until we get him ready for one

Def not, Chloe will not even come in the bathroom if I am in the bath

Cloe hates the bath and like others have said she hates being dried even more! I have a couple of towels that I use to dry her and they both have holes in them from her biting at them lol!

On the other hand she surprised me today when she jumped in the boating pond at Greenwich park. She normally just paddles in water but it was hot out and at first it looked liked she was going over for a drink and just plonked in! Loved it so much she went in twice more lol! Very very unlike her but it cooled her off nicely!

molly loves the bath and will quite happily stand in it as still as a statue! but oscar hates it and will allways wallk past the bathroom extra quick!!! just in case lol .

I can't get Buster into the bath, luckily we have a wet room so he goes in there but he hates it. He has to have his lead on and I have to be stripped off. I only shower him about every 4 months though, I just brush him the rest of the time. I read once that this was about right for dogs with no hair on their bellies.

Our Tara doesn't enjoy the shower/bath but loves the fuss when drying with the towel, She'll even hang on for ages before going out for a piss if it's raining but will happily jump into the sea when we're walking on the beach!
We haven't put our new pup Jake into the shower yet so we'll have to wait and see what happens there!lol.

Lola and Gracie will quite happily stand (Lola) or splosh up and down the bath (Gracie) whilst having the shower head also directed over them. Vader has been in the sink and didn't mind.

Dougal on the other hand.... HATES it, I have discovered the only way to get him clean with looking like a pack of mountain lions attacked my arms (scratches) is to get in the shower and hold him in it and then I get covered in dirt and dog shampoo so OH takes dougal whilst I then continue in shower usinf human type shampoo etc the things we do....

Dixie enjoys a bath once she is in there, but lifting the big heffer in there is a mission!

Rocco however hates the bath - think this is down to him having to be bathed in Malaseb two times a week soon after we got him.

Cilla is terrified of the bath. Since the time she leapt out, hurting her leg in the process and soaking me, the bathroom and the rest of the house while I tried to capture her, I now wash her outside. I fill several bowls, buckets and watering cans with warm water, I have to have her lead on the whole time and she shakes and quivers throughout. She now recognised the bowls and runs round the garden like a mad thing trying to get away when she sees me filling them. It is a stressful time for us both!!

sky hates all things to do with water apart from drinking it when it rains i have to stand over her with a umbrella other wise she wont go to the loo

you can stand in the bathroom and say to mennis come here and he will bark at you because when he was 9 months old he got stuck inbetween the sink and the bath and he hates it know, mischief is like make sure you do my hair


LOL

god no sadie hates the bath tub - but she loves the hose! So whenever she needs a wash down we just "play" with the hose

Indy hates the bath, just mention the word and she runs. Once I get her in she's ok and once out and towel dried she runs around so proud of herself.

We tried using the hairdryer on her last time but she wasn't a fan of that.

Generally she's no good with getting too wet, she hates the rain too.

Xan loves a bath - specially the drying afterwards and I use a hairdryer. Luna and Sharky will stand still and enjoy the massage after you've run around and caught them to put them in the bath.
