Keys for your dog's first bath

Bath time can be a pleasant and enjoyable time for many dogs, however, for most of them it can become a stressful activity. It is important to accustom our faithful friend to the bath routine as a puppy, although it could take time and patience on your part.

We give you some tips to make bath time a fun and rewarding moment for your dog.

Get him used to the bathroom .

Before you start bathing, you should let your dog get used to the space. You can place some prizes or favorite toys around the area so that they associate the bath with something positive. You must be very patient and let your dog enter the bathroom alone, without forcing it.

Start the bath without pressing it.

When your dog feels comfortable and confident in the shower or bathtub, you can begin to slowly wet him with warm water. You should gently massage it from head to tail and try not to get soap or water into its eyes and ears. It is important that you are calm and affectionate with your canine. He will probably try to escape, so you should talk to him calmly and not scold him or physically repress him.

Reward him.

Prizes are the best option for them to learn. At times when he is relaxed you can give him treats and combine him with some of his favorite toys. It is important not to give him treats when he is stressed, as we would be reinforcing his attempt to escape.
