How My Dogs React When It's Bathing Time

Tuesday 21 February 2012
Most dogs hate to be bathed. Have you ever called your dog over -  with hose in hand - and it comes over to you? For me, I would have to put a leash around my dogs, and practically drag them over.

Max hates to be bathed. After pulling him over to the bathing spot and taking off the leash, the most of the hard work of bathing goes to keeping him from running away. On the few occasions when he  manages to escape, I had to chase him around to get him back. However, Jon does not loath bathing as much as Max. I still have to drag him over, but once he is already wet with water, he will stand stand still till the session is over.






If you own more than one dog, you might realise that the other dog/s will simply disappear from sight while you are attending to the one on hand. I always bath one dog for that day, and bath the other one the next day. So I can imagine the relief felt by either Jon or Max when they realise that they need not be bathed after witnessing the first bathing session. "Phew, Master forgot about me".
