Simple Hack to help your Dog LOVE Bath Time!

Описание: A super simple hack to help your dog enjoy bath time!

I honedtly have never done this with Woodsie before - I would just use treats at the start and then slowly weaned him off to the point where now I just give him a treat after and that's it. However, the peanut butter trick is awesome! (And is much easier than the way I taught Woodsie initially - wish I would have known about this back when I first got him & had to carry him in & out of the tub while he fought me the whole way! Haha) Anyway, this is super nice for dogs that are unsure about baths as it is a constant reward and gives them something to focus on.

Steps:
➡️Find some dog-safe peanut butter
➡️Smear peanut butter on wall of shower within reach of the dog
➡️Warm up water
➡️Put the dog in the tub
➡️Get the dog used to the temperature of the water SLOWLY - I personally wet their feet first and then work my way up. Works for my horses and for my dog!
➡️Bath as nicely as possible (not spraying them in the face, using very cold or hot water, etc) while letting the dog enjoy his/her peanut butter
➡️Ta da! Dry off and give lots of praise!

Hopefully this helps. It's not a cure all, but it definitely helps dogs that are still a little unsure about it. Slow and steady wins the race! If your dog is extremely uncomfortable in the bath, take it back step by step until you get to the point where your dog is comfortable. Maybe that means that you put them in the tub multiple times a day for treats with no water involved just to get them a little more comfortable with it, or maybe you can jump right into it like I did with Woodsie. Do what your dog is comfortable with and slowly tap away at it! 😊

Thanks for watching! 😊
