whos dog LIKES baths??

**alfi** · 12-07-2009, 05:27 AM

Hahaha...! So I dare to say that Liza is the most easygoing dog I've ever heard?!?

She loves baths, she loves it even more when I blow dry hair and brush her, and she really enjoys a good haircut!! She sits very calm for her daily toothbrushing and brushing. She loves her clothes (I rarely put them on...only in real cold) and she will let anyone to touch and play with her paws while taking a nap. LOL! This dog feels nothing...and she loves kids and will let them play and grab her long ears and pinch her and squize her nose (omg she loves that cause it makes kids laugh lol!)....I always say to kids don't do that it is not a nice thing to do to a dog but she has no problem!! a really lol dog!

Oh, my Otto is a pit/boxer and he loves the water in every form, bites water from the hose, parades around the backyard with it spraying everywhere, the creek, the river, the pond the lake the shore. He'd rather be wet.

But if I try and put him in the tub for a bath...his legs all splay, totally rigid. I think if I let go he'd be able to perch on the edges of the tub.

It's a 2 man job to get him in. Once he's in the water, he relaxes. You just have to wonder what exactly it is about the tub? The slipperiness? The confinement?

i'd say both... Maybe he loves wide spaces and loves to bath on his own...

LOL...

Sassy doesnt like baths but she loves to be clean (if that makes sense) she will let me know when she wants a bath but isnt happy about getting wet.

Star nope he dont care for them but will get in the shower none the less.

Clyde it is wrangling time, he is good once I get him in but getting him there is sometimes a chore in itself.

I'd like to make it more fun for him once we've worked on some bigger behavioral things.

My Dog is the same exact way!!

lol... well.. Princess, my old tiny dog, wasn't the biggest with baths itself. The tub was so high though, she couldn't climb out anyway. However, because she had hair, mom would blow dry her. She liked that a lot. She'd curl in your lap as you brushed and blow dried her and she'd switch positions when you nudged her. It was like innate for her to do so. So her coat was always so soft and fluffy. She got a bath about once a week. Her brothers though, I know their coat isn't as well taken care of...

Strider has fur so I have this perfect coat allergen remover. He'd gladly follow me in the bathroom each time but as soon as I pick him up he like get stiff and tries to prevent me from putting him in the tub X3 I have to just gently hold his chest as I work. He seems to like the scrub brush. I try to make them as quick as possible for him and try to dry him as much as I can before letting him run loose.

My boyfriend's dog, Maxi, though high tails it every time you mention bath because he uses the hose in the back yard :/ She may be old, but she ain't stupid LOL

Gizmo, my almost 2 year old male Papillon..LOOOOVES to be groomed. Rolls belly-up for me to trim his nails and to do a sanitary trim.. jumps in the tub and demands a bath..and falls asleep getting shampoo'd.

Beuford my Argentine Dogo/American Bulldog, LOVES water and baths, i dont even have to ask him, if i am just standing in the bathroom, he jumps into the tub and just sits there patiently.

My dad's dogs Cinco and Atilla, His Purebred American Bulldogs, I give them bathes and it is a struggle lol, they act like the water will strangle them and it takes two people to get them in, they go all stiff and it really is a fight with them lol

I posted this in another thread because she does this due to her problems with separation anxiety... but Lyla, my great dane, goes into the shower with me if I let her. It's a walk in shower with just a 1" ledge to stop the water, and she will climb in cause she has to be so close to me. LoL I lock her out of the bathroom now cause it's too small of a shower to share with a great dane, but the first time was quite hilarious!

Well, I don't know about Diesel (Been waiting for his next set of puppy shots to ask the vet if it's okay with his tail.) But my dog doesn't hate it, but he will tolerate it. (I think this has to do with his old age. He won't dare jump out anymore.)
