Wow! why some people don't think about animals' emotions?😕😕 These vedios helped me understand better about my pets but I am still a child😟
LMFAO
righttttt, i hate when people say "its just a dog"
English? Vedios seriosly?
Same
@arooparoo870 They literally said they were a child. Why be mean about it?
Both of my dogs are terrified of water. A 7 year old female bichon-poodle, and a 2 year old female chihuahua mix. I'm excited to try and use these tips tomorrow to at least bathe one of them and try to get them less afraid of bath time :)
Did it work?
Lol how'd that work out for you 🤣
@@show_me_your_kitties Unfortunately he/she didn't survive
I cant even get mine to come to the bathroom. I am defenitly shure these tips wont work on my dog 😢
@@novajay5349 I adopted a 3 year old dog yesterday. She smells and I wanted to shower her today. Even though she was outside of the bathroom, just hearing the water head her shaking. I lured her in very slowly with peanut butter. It took a while. She had a licking mat. After a while I slowly turned on the water. She immediately left the bathroom. I tried it a couple of times after that with no luck. I just gave her the lick mat in the shower. I'm sure by repeating these steps, she eventually let's me bathe her. Maybe this will help you
Literally just finished bathing my 1 yr old 🐶. If my son is home she tolerates a bath very well as I allow him to get in there with her. I will get in with her when he's not home but she prefers for it to be him. She doesn't hate it but she definitely doesn't love it either!!
Those dogs are standing in bath. What do you do if your dog goes up on hind legs koalo bears your arm with front legs and fights to get out. Tried doing it in stages with treats but she won't calm. She used to go to groomers then I suddenly started getting calls to collect as she refused bath. Don't know if she's had a bad experience but I'm reluctant now to put her through that and trying myself, unsuccessfully though.
These are not dogs who hate water in this video. These are dogs that aren’t comfortable. I have an 18 month old labrador mix of some kind who is very animated when he hast to go anywhere near water or gets caught in the rain. It’s become impossible to bathe him but it’s getting to the point where it’s going to have to happen. Outside of sedating him, I don’t think I have any options.
Same I have a beagle,lab mix and it is nearly impossible to bathe him. He ignored treats when we try the gentle method in the bath he just jumps out and scratches/wails around. Have you found anything that works for you? We also tried Trazodone, didn't work for us
@@Jenna_Wade Our rescue Australian Sheperd does not like a bath (.) Period
We have tried Traz as well. Trying to wash her is like trying to beat her ( whatever that looks like ) We end up letting her go. Jezz I need a Valium now 😆🙃✌
My lab mix is terrified of water, he starts trying to climb the shower wall, we try treats, i get into the shower/tub w him and he still panics, I need someone to stay outside the tub to also reassure him and give him treats while I try to bathe him, it’s rough, I haven’t tried giving him trazadone for at home baths, mostly been for the groomer, wondering how he will do with me at home w trazadone
@@detectivedaveyou “let her go” ?
@@aydosbuildz556 We do. A 95% White A.S. who loves to roll in the dirt kindda looks dirty ( lol } but she Loves Her Life that way . . . .And it's Cool with Us. Happy New Year
I got my husky from a women in florida off of craigslist he looked very handsome in the pictures, when i picked him up he had been left out in the Florida summer heat and was malnourished. It took me months to gain his trust but when it comes to water I just don't know how to keep him calm. I tried taking him to the vet and a groomer, they all called me and refused to bathe him. I did bathe him myself but it was a struggle, these are some very helpful tips and I will be trying them out. He recently dug a hole in my backyard and is very dirty haha.
Thank you so much! Helped out a lot 😊
Thank you for sharing I will apply this coz I have a dog and don't know how to bathe.
Do not bathe your dog too often or it will end up with dry skin.

Afraid of water. This video was very helpful.
Really good advice
Sweet Paws makes a paw towel that is portable. It comes in a silicone case that you can attach to your key ring, bag, or leash. Very convenient for drying your pup's muddy paws on the go and protecting those cars and carpets.
This video was very helpful
something that works is put penuat butter low on the wall in the shower and while they lick it up you bath them
My dog, Ella, hates getting wet. We tried everything. She is still in the bathtub, but she seems scared. But she seems to liked being groomed, just not lound noises. I think all this has to do with her pervious owners who neglected her. She's a rescue, but these tips has helped her calm down during bath time so thank you
I have a small Chihuahua when he was little I used to be able to give him baths no problem the older he's getting the more he hates it he tries to bite me and it's a scary thing to try to do. Really looking for any and all advice I can get about how to get him to take a bath without biting me!?
My problem is he is a great dane and strong as hell. Almost broke the glass door the first time I tried
HI, 2 years late to this, but does anyone have an idea of where about to keep the temperature, should it be comfortable for the average human, cooler or warmer?
Mi gsd is terrified of water thanks for the vid
She’s afraid, that’s for the tips, I will try them .🙏❤️🍀
I've had her almost a month, she needs a bath but refuses to let me close the bathroom door. She won't get near the shower (no bathtub) although it is a hand shower, I can reduce the pressure, she watched me bathe myself. I tried two of her favorite treats, even left one in the shower, she won't go there. Fear of water? She drinks rainwater and goes out in the rain. Fear of the shower? How do I get her to stay in the room? I cannot really force anything physically, she's stronger than me. I'm just bigger. My last dog was smaller and lived in a home with a bath where he reluctantly agreed to get wet every few months.

I have two toy poodles 9 years old and 2 mixed toy poodles chihuahuas almost 2 years old. The first are pretty good the second 2 one is good but the other fights to escape the whole time and he is the largest. I have an amputated left arm at the elbow at the elbow so he is a challenge. We are both soaked by the end.
I don’t know how my parents bathe our golden retriever but I do know she will literally run out of the bathroom when she’s still all wet and soapy. She recently got into some of grandmas flowers that have pollen stems that stain clothing if touched. I can’t give her a bath at grandmas house because I don’t have her shampoo and she refuses to get into the bath herself and is too heavy for me to lift myself. Grandma used a wet paper towel earlier today to try and get some off her. I managed to get quite a bit off doing the same thing a little bit ago but if I really need to I guess I’ll have to try and give her a bath myself. The reason why I am commenting is because my dog absolutely hates baths.
My dog is a street dog and she is not use to it so every time I try to let her take a bath she tries to bite me and she is suffering from itchiness and has not been vaccinated so I am afraid of getting bitten. So what should I do any suggestion?pls
We got a 2yr old pit bull and she dasnt like water do you have any solutions please
My dog hates water so I have to force her to get in the bathroom but she stays away from the bathtub and I’m like I wanna get her to like water and that it’s not gonna harm her. She likes pools and stuff but not showers
I tried bathing my pup, but he was scared so i’ll try and introduce my pup to it more, and show him he’ll be okay 🫶🫶😊

Beautiful video😍

UGHHHHH my pit mix with lab hates water on him and every time i try putting him in the bath he tries to bite me but not hurt me and its annoying because he gets dirty, and I WANT HIM CLEAN
Need help. My dog when we first got him, we found out he was sprayed with the hose when they wanted him to get back. He’s so afraid of water sounds in general. I’ve tried this method and it works. The towel folding tricked however, it does not work, and he will not eat treats when I try to reward him for his good behavior. He likes the treats that we gave him but he is too nervous when he’s in the bath to eat them he refuses to even sniff them. This makes the process a lot more difficult and I don’t know what to do to help him realize that he is perfectly safe. I’ve tried this method today and I work somewhat, and it got him to sit down, but whenever I would do anything more than scrub him, he would freak out sometimes when I scrub him he will try to get out of the bath as well
Any ideas?
i have a Rottweiler and a Pitbull. I get soaked when i bath them.
same lmao I have a Saint Bernard
These dogs do not look afraid... How do you get the dog in the bath in the first place. My rottweiler just growls at me if I try
I have a lg Lab Shepherd mix and she's scared of or hates water. This would be a nightmare. 😆
I get in bath with my dog but I have tried so many videos to try make her not afraid of water but she is
Self grooming my dog tomorrow at a salon gonna try these tips!
His groomer is fully booked for the next month luckily I know a wee bit about grooming and staff are around to help if I need it
my dog gets aggressive when i tried to bathe him so I stopped been trying but she wont go to the bathroom and will display aggression once you insist :(
Oh thank you my puppy afraid of water
For some of you try bathing your dog in an actual bath tub or some other method that you can control the temperature of the water. I mean, how many of you would bathe with a garden hose?
I am only a kid and my dog hates water i want to start taking care of my dog more
My dog doesn’t even stay calm in the bath without water he freaks out
I have done this, he has treats all the way through, but my dog still gets aggressive and bites me, I have to put a muzzle on him to finish washing him..
neither of my dogs do water very well, I have a kiddie pool out in my yard and they simply use it as a water dish. My mom tried to get my oldest dog to like it by dropping him in it and he refused to go near her for 4 months
My dog is so terrified of water that she accidentally gave my dad a flesh wound trying to climb out of the tub. Just bathed her for the first time and I think I may have scarred her even more. From now on I’m sending her to the groomer.
Are they more prone to anxiety? Possible environmental effects that could lessen things is to dim the light level, lower noise levels, and give plenty of positive reinforcement (praise and over the tub snuggles or little bits of a treat or food she likes)
IMPORTANT the water should not be much warmer than room temp. Dogs are much more prone to hypothermia and hyperthermia. They cannot regulate their heat as well and going too far one way or the other could harm them and cause more stress
I am studying animal care atm and i have a routine with my dog that has routinely shown to help her but thats my personal workshopping (try if u think it could help) where i do all of the above and additionally approach her calmly and show her treats or call her into bathroom and let her come in at her own pace and give her the treat. Close the door, once shes in the room shes shaking and terrified so just giving her that time to be in the bathroom and have as many cuddles as she wants and soothe her. She eventually is ok enough to not velcro dog to me, the key is patience and a solid routine so she knows what she’s expecting every step of the way. We only put her in the bathroom when she is expecting a bath, she knows why she’s walking in. She used to be quite fearful of the room but she’s actually been a lot more willing to enter even if just to do her family rounds. I give her little treats throughout the process and personally let her wander a little in the tub to shake (although I understand why professionally and situationally this may be more trouble)
Sorry long winded but if u read this i hope it helps you
I have a 125lbl malamute and he hates bathtime none of these tips work. The closest I've got was not using running water and just soaking a huge beach towel and letting that sit on him as I massage the soap in with my hands. But that only works for about 3-5 minutes then he cries like he's getting dunked with lava.
My dog hates rain he isn't happy going out in the rain walks round the puddles
I have a two year old husky and he is very terrified of water. He was rehomed to me and I had him about six months. I have the to get two or three people with me just to give him a bath. It’s ridiculous and he has almost injured me in the process. These tips do not help at all but I do appreciate them. My friend has a cage and she put her dog in it and spray it with a water hose but I feel like that’s cruel but she doesn’t get hurt in the process and she has a Clean dog. Are there any husky owners out here that can probably give me some tips on how to wash my dog?
I get my dog hemp calming treats. Husky are smart so I mix it with his food. I take mine for a walk first. I bath him every Wednesday with the soothing music. Once heard music and the calming treats and a walk. He still fighting me but half the struggle
I think I made my dog afraid of baths by using the removable shower head to rinse her off when she was a 2-3 month old puppy. The furnace had just kicked on to reheat the water and it's a bit too hot for a few seconds so I think I accidentally scorched her back and now when I start the shower or bath she goes running to her cage to hide. The only way I can get her through it is to be in there with her, hold her in the tub, and keep pulling her back from the curtain because she's trying to leave the entire time. Then once she's rinsed off I let go, she bolts out, covers the bathroom in dog-water, and then runs straight to my bed to lay on my pillow (this may be revenge, or she likes the pillow). When the river floods she strolls right through it like the water isn't even there, but the minute I add shampoo....
Dogs don’t do anything out of revenge bc they don’t have that higher thinking. It’s probably because it’s a spot she sees as safe or comfy
I really don’t get why my dog hates bathing she loves sitting in the rain and playing in the rain with me but the moment the hose comes out she runs
we're pretty sure that my dog is afraid of water because of the house fire he was rescued from😔 hes terrified of fire trucks too
Literally almost cried after bathing my husky cant take this istg
My 4 year old dog is really really scared in water, I used to bathe him 2-3 times a day but ever since my grandpa went to hospital, I always stay there and forgot to bathe my dog since then I rarely bathe him even though my grandpa got released on the hospital ;I always forgot to bathe my dog and rn it's been like 7 months since his last bath he really hate it, I try many times but he's so angry and want to bite me; I even asked my father many times but he said my dog really hates bath.
Why bathe a dog 2-3x a day? Do you shower 2-3x a day, too?
Dogs should only be bathed if they're visibly dirty or rolled in a poo or after a walk in muddy forest.
Bath actually damages dog's skin, it should only be done when truly necessary.
2-3 times a DAY? You mean "year?"
Update?
Though my dog 🐶 is scared of water 💧
terrified of water
My dogs actually don’t mind a bath ! I do handle them in a way that gives them confidence
💦❤️
I bought a mouthguard just so that I can bathe my dog. Just a few days ago I bathe her but it was very difficult because she was really terrified and wanted to run. Then tried to bite my fingers when I soaped her body.
My dogs are terrified of water
Too awesome 🐕😁👍
My dog isn't scared he just hates getting wet... He'll even avoid rain and all though I hate to stress him out he's making the house smell bad :(
Filthy.
Hope you figured it out
My dog actively avoids the bathroom
Is that an Irish accent I hear?
I should have watched this first, I had to put her in a headlock to keep her in bath. I hope I haven't ruined it for her.
ok but what if we dont have that long shower head, and how much money is it🤔🤨🧐
My dog won’t even go in the bathroom he stinks so bad and he’s scared of buckets
OH YES ALSO 5 DIFFERENT GROOMERS HAVE SENT HIM HOME UNBATHED IF THEY EVEN ATTEMPT IT AT ALL THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN ITS UN SAFE FOR US TO BATHE HIM
I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GIVE MY DOG HER MONTHLY FLEA BATH WITH DO PROBLEMS?????
My dog doesn't hate water, he will eat your face trying to put him in it. Tried peanut butter, treats, kiddie pools even took him with swimming dogs to a river, nope.
Easier said than done that’s for sure 😥
just bathe your dog with luke warm water
Misleading video title. These are tips for bathing dogs as in not dogs traumatized by water. So it’s not helpful.
The groomers around where I live are not taking new clients or will only groom dogs under 30 pounds..☹️
That sucks... Are you going to do it yourself?
@@AnimalWised Yes! We did! I DID muzzle him, and at first, he howled like the water was fire, but I was sitting on the side of the tub with my legs in and just massaged him with my hands and the hand-held shower nozzle, while reassuring him with soothing tones.. He finally relaxed into it and I stopped it when we got to that point, so he would remember it as positive. Didn’t use shampoo yet, but the rinse did a world of good! And this past week, we brought him to the ocean. He is going to end up loving the water! But it’ll take some time before he warms up to the bath…😉🙏🏻💕
They are not scared of water, but they don't want to get bathed.
It could be fear of the bathroom, maybe if you try to hose them and wash them outside they would be easier to manage?
Nope, they jump straight in everytime they see water. They just don’t like showers
Yea same I literally have to hold my puppy down for every single bath her says to not wash them if they are freaking out and scared but he doesn’t say what your supposed to do besides just let your dog smell like 💩
Not helpful 😢
Well I already fail number 1 here how I do it
Number one you tell the dog get the fuck in the bath,
Number two you let her feel the water before dumping a bucket over the dog
Number 3 drown it till the dog looks like it's playing
Number 4 drag the dog out the bath
Number 5 clean It
Number 6 Dog Clean
Tips didnt work, Im just going to get rid of him.
