How do you wash your dog?

Buster used to go in the wet room. We moved house recently and haven't got a wet room now. In the new house the shower doors look a bit flimsy for Buster's escape attempts and it would take 2 full grown men to lift him into the bath (and another 2 to hold him there against his will. I'm wondering about washing him as he's starting to smell like an old sock. I was just wondering how everyone else washes their dog.

i wash my dogs outside i have to tie them up to the washing pole they hate water

put my mine in the bath,never had any probs...one at a time of coures....lol

Kaiser goes in the bath he hates it sits there giving me the sad eyes but must admit he is good he even jumps in himself but does know how to make me feel guilty

Bath. Blue sits there and will stay there and let me drain all the water and dry him. He only gets out when I say ok. Which is great. Last dog I had was a boxer and she used to dive out and shake and soak you. We used to finish washing her then leg it into the bedroom and slam the door behind us before she got us

Molly won't actually stay in the bath, the main wash she gets is when she goes swimming in the river!
Seriously though, she hates the bathroom, so she gets tied up outside and when it was warmer she had a warm 'shower' (Watering can, we don't have a hose pipe) with baby shampoo. Now it's colder she gets tied up and we use dry shampoo on her, I have noticed that it's not really dry though, it's a foam, so is kinda wet, she hates either way, but after digging up rabbit holes, she needs a bit of a clean up!

both mine are bathed...i am at the same time as well lol

I'v used all of them but its mainly Shower in the bath Taz and Cassie hop on in once i made it none slippery. but for minor dirt its a dog groomer glove and water. just working on Blondy now but im waiting till summer for the whole shower but until then its the grooming glove and water etc.

On the odd occasion its a planned wash, they get washed in the bath but usually its the hose in backyard because they've been rolling in the smelly stuff whilst out.

I have a bath and shower,so i stick her in the bath and wash her with the shower lol.Gets it over and done with quicker.

Holly had her first bath yesterday...... u would have though i was skinning her alive!!!! we have an out door shower with hot/cold because of the pool... so not like it was freezing... i dried her off and warmed her hot pack and she snuggled in her crate for an hour

Milly loves the shower took her out the other day and she was rotten so had to shower her when we got back. Since then when we come back from a walk she runs straight to the shower, she is the same when we are in always trying to join you

I get mine hydrobathed and they both love it, when i get around to it i will put the pics of Harley having his bath on u should see him he's so cute he falls asleep except when i have the camera out. He screams blue murder when i leave him with the dog washer while i bring Mia back in.

I wash Polly in the bath she loves it but hates getting dry.

i clicked bath but i use the shower to wash him of aswell

I stick him in the bath, but I use jugs of water to wet him & rinse him. If I use the shower head he tries to eat it!

Holly had to have another bath before i out her flea treatment on.. this time i just filled a plastic tub up and foamed her up and she just sat in there making groaning noises lol.. was cute.. i thinking the shower scared her a little..

I washed Ty today he was plonked in the bath and I then used the shower head on him hes not a big fan but it only takes 5 minuets and he now smells nice and not like a wotsit lol

like a wotsit! Very good

He wasnt best pleased!

Aw, he looks so sad!

Haha thats just after i made him stay. He was trying to escape but a firm "staaaaaayyyyy" resulted in that expression

Mine go in the shower cubicle with me its a double one and when its warm outside the grankids sand pit is brill for a dog bath

You can get this dog spray from pets at home, you spray it on, rub it in and let it dry, then brush it out of them with a stiff brush. Makes their coat really shiny, and smells pretty good too. If chase gets muddy i stick him in the shower, but the spray stuff keeps him smellin fresh in between showers.

esme will get in the shower with me......lolas a little reluctant but shes ok once shes in

i get him in the bath and run the shower over him! Had to do his belly yesterday cos he was filthy after we'd been for a walk around the market!

We dont..... (lol unless he has been rolling in something disgusting that is!) He goes to the beach, he runs in the rain, we figure somewhere in the middle he gets clean.

Both shower with me and I use the tar shampoo on them. It was not a problem as from young they always wanted to be in everything. Benny even lifts his head up for me to get under his neck and closes his eyes. I always make sure the water is not as hot as I would put it for me as the skin is tender. He loves the shampoo massage and looks totally relaxed. After he loves to be dried first with the towel then the hair dryer. From a young age I showed him that I was using it on me and it was ok. Now he rolls over when it's time to dry the other side. I hold it far from them so they get the very end of the air and not burned. They love it and get a treat at the end. Then I put on some instrumental music and they sleep, content and clean

In the shower after rolling in goose or fox poo.
I wrap him in a towel before getting him out as he's one of those dogs that shakes off for ages after.

bath but only ever washed her once when she fell into some reallyt dirty water , when she realised this meant a bath she's neve gone further than paw deep in water since

i bath mine, as soon as i get the dogs towel out crystal is in the bath waiting for me lol, they also love the hose pipe i now have a sprinkler as a hose due to lil teeth holes

I never bath my dogs, first I use a slicker on them, this takes out the dead hair, then I use a brush then put a baby wipe over their coats. Depending on the time of year how often I do this with them. If they roll in something I just wash were it is dirty.

Spring is here and the weather is wonderful and warm here now so Tyson is having a bath tomorrow after Fly Ball. He loves the bath so will simply jump in when required.

That sure is a lot of effort lol

It is quick and easy to do if you keep up with it, once a week when they are not moulting, daily when they are. It takes me about 10 minutes to do 5 dogs, and I don't get a bath with the dog.

We open the door to the shower and she is happy to go in
