You probably want your dog more to bathe, especially if he has rolled in on an unpleasant thing outside. So, to make your life easier, here are some tips to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
1- Choose the best place to have your dog take a bath. A bathtub is often easier, but if you have a small dog, it will certainly be more practical and comfortable for both of you to use a basin or a washbasin. If your dog has long hair, be careful, this could clog your pipes.
2 - First of all, make sure you comb or brush it well. This will allow you to get rid of dead hair and knots that are more difficult to loosen when wet. Many dogs love to be brushed, it can help them relax.
3 - Do not forget to put on an apron or old clothes. Chances are you're being splashed.
4 - Place a non-slip mat in the bathtub (especially if you have a large dog) to prevent you or your dog from slipping when you put it in or take it out.
5 - Run hot water in the bathtub or in the sink. Cold water is not very fun for dogs (imagine taking a cold bath yourself) but it should not be too hot either.
6 - The depth of the water depends on the size of your dog, but in any case make sure that it is not too deep so as not to make him panic. The sound of a running tap could also scare your dog. Thus, it is preferable to fill the bathtub before inviting your pet to it.
7 - Carry your dog and place him in the bathtub. He will probably try to get out quickly but persevere.
8 - Use a plastic cup or pitcher to pour water on your dog. (You can also use the shower head if your dog is not too scared.) He will probably try to shake himself, spraying you with water at the same time.
9- Rub a nut of shampoo between your hands or use a little hot water to dissolve it then run it on your dog. Then gently massage the shampoo on your dog's coat. Make sure you clean her skin well and try to avoid shampooing her in the eyes and ears.
10 - Rinse your dog with lukewarm water and make sure that he is completely rid of any shampoo residue so that it does not dry his skin.
11 - Take your dog out of the bath, be careful not to slip, and let it shake. Then rub it with a warm towel (or use a hair dryer if it isn't too scared of the noise). .
12 - Give your dog a treat to reward him for his patience, and finally, do a final brushing.
