Well I have a yorkshire terrior and she hates baths she is clings on to my arm she trys to get away, btw she gets baths in the tub not in a sink or anything, and when ever she get out she shivers for literallty an hour and it makes me feel so bad and I don’t know what to do I used to give her baths in the sink but its just as bad and she try to jump more

Answer #1

I have a yorkie poo he HATES baths im pretty sure all dogs do(all mine atleast lol)but they need them especially little pretty dogs :) but she shivers probly because shes scared or cold. dont fill the tub up to deep gooodluckk

Answer #2

lol…well you used a double negative so your questions means that your dog likesbaths. Anyway…like phrannie said…some like it some don’t My terrier puts up with them. Stands still, like a statue and makes it very hard for me to wash or turn him. One of my lab mixes LOVES a bathm, the other does not.

Answer #3

Ours didn’t like them when she first had them, But it helps if you sit in the bath with the dog and bathe her on your lap. Just put on a bikini.

Answer #4

Some dogs NEVER learn to like them (my Westie, who had to be groomed every month…plus the fact that she was a terrier, so she was in the dirt a LOT)…recognised the signs of an immenent bath…me rolling up sleeves, moving a towel, getting her shampoo out, maybe the look in my eye…I don’t know, I couldn’t hide the fact from her…she knew each and every detail, and would go to the furthest corner under a queen sized bed to hide…LOL…stinker.

NEVER got used to it. Tho, she didn’t hesitate to take a swim in the lake.

Answer #5

well, some dogs naturally just don’t like having baths, possibly ebcause of their age or if their a rescue, their past. But other just may not like water, feel unsecure, I have a dog and he doesn’t like baths and he’s a poodle! I also have another which is blind, but she has skin problems so needs baths, if your dog doesn’t like baths give it a shower rinse, or just maybe bathe her/him in shallow water.

hope it helps xxx taskells:)
