Best way to bathe a puppy?

OMG he does look like Jack Jack! He is sooo adorable!

My pooches get their face wiped every day since this batch has tear stain problems and just cause I feel like a mommy dog washing their precious little faces...:p Shows them I love them!

Truth!!!

My absolute most favorite way to bathe a puppy is:

To get in the tub with them. I hold them on my chest (I'm wearing undies)
and gently wash them with warm water & a washrag and oops, I do coddle them.

We bond.

We have mommy time. We kiss and snuggle afterwards, in a towel.

Er, I don't normally do this with adult dogs unless they are extremely frightened. Have done it with a few puppy mill dogs that were like statues and afraid to breath.

I started doing this with Doodle (RIP) and he was my heart dog from day 1. He also loved water (the boat, beach, bay, tub, pool, etc.) and wonder if it's because was had such a special bond from day 1 in the tubby.

He came from a PM, an Amish dairy farm and smelled like cow dung so I had to get that smell off of him.

Now I just do it as a matter of choice for the wee ones.

Yep, I'm nuts. :naughty:

That sounds very therapeutic...decreasing their anxiety level and building trust while bathing.
