Hmmm Disagreements

[Deleted]

I just experienced my own dog bath time Vietnam. I have 2 boxer sized dogs and they honk, so it was bath time earlier. My dogs don't like bath time, they made sure I was reminded they don't like bath time. We fought for over an hour but now I( have 2 sweet smelling dogs, a wrecked bathroom and filthy wet clothes.

Any one else have large dog cleaning issues?

No but that made me laugh

My housemate has 7 small dogs, but come bath time, they mutate into great danes.......... whenever I bath them, it's like doing 3 rounds with Mike Tyson........

I stopped even trying to bath my old Doberman, in the end it was a hosepipe job in the garden with some doggie shampoo. He didn't like that either but would grin and bear it but the bath was no way going to happen, I think he thought I was going to drown him when he saw the bath tub with water in it.. lol

Nope - they get clean in the river, or the lake or the sea.

Job done

yep, its when they try to jump out and you try to catch them. water, shampoo everywhere and soaking wet. whippets turn into eels in water!

If my westie sees me with a towel on my head after my bath or shower, she runs and hides thinking its her turn next!

My two young otherwise very happy yorkies hang theit heads at bathtime trying to beat me into submission with guilt

The big boy gets his in the river etc
The middle two hate the actual bath and we are wetter than they are
The little one is easy
But they all love running around after and shaking themselves and rubbing in the carpet/furniture/bed and us to dry themselves before we can catch them with the towels and hair dryer

Eat your heart out MP2012.

Mull was so small when he first arrived, he had to get washed in a Flower Pot or he would have gone down the plug hole!!!



Now that he is a big boy, the sink is good enough.

I use buckets of water on our enclosed patio! saves the clean up job afterwards

Not that I bath Max very often, probably about twice a year.

DDs pup loves the bath. they have to remember to close the door now otherwise pup jumps in too

That`s very weird, I have no problems when I get `Joan` (wife) into the bath.

Hope she never sees this post, or I shall be `toast`.

Yer my Finny just jumped in the river when I walked him just now cos he didnt like the smell of the shampoo *sigh*. Next bath will be some time in August for him.

Sammy I used to bath every couple of months . . . despite being a water dog, clean, soapy water wasn't quite so attractive to him.


Got him a little paddling pool for the garden which he used to love having a splosh in . . .






My current doggy goes to the Groomers every couple of months for a shampoo and clip, I let them have the mess now.
