Grooming a puppy at home can be positive with a few tips to help your puppy overcome their fear. Giving a puppy a bath should include shampoo, a tub restraint, towels, and a few other items I’ll cover in this week’s video. If you want to know how to give your puppy a bath without them freaking out or how to make your dog like a bath, be sure to watch how we train a puppy to overcome their fear of water and the dryer noises too.

Thanks for watching First Puppy Bath - Tips to Make it A Positive Experience. How did your puppy handle their first bath? Which tool do you find most useful when giving your puppy a bath?
My puppy just cried and kept trying to get out and I got all wet from my pup😂
@@2a5x4 oh no, the tips in this video will help!
Is there any solutions for biting?
Thanks for the step-by-step detailed lesson! Very educational... May I ask what kind/brand of peanut butter you give to your dogs?
@@maxineb.3789 I use all-natural peanut butter from my grocery store. Just be sure you don't give your puppy peanut butter with Xylitol in it.
I find it so funny she’s just sitting in a bath tub
YES! Mission accomplished, I was trying to put a smile on everyone's face. 🙂
It’s hilarious! Love it!
Yaaaaaaassssss

Hey Michelle you are a hard worker, and an inspiration to all dog lovers. You are awesome.
@Jose Brito thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. 😍
Michelle- can’t thank you enough for preparing our family for our 8 week old puppy! We are on a schedule and moving through thins SO much more successfully than with our first dog. God bless you!!!!
Yeah
So true
My pup is also eight weeks!❤
Thanks! My pup is coming tomorrow and I couldn’t have planned it without you!
So helpful to know these tips 🐶 my puppies first shower was bad , now I know why thank you 😊
Awwww I love that little puppy sneeze! 😍
Hi michelle ur always inspiring to me to how to train my puppy when I get it ur Just the best!
Omg!!! Your videos has helped me so much! I just got a new pup and at first I thought I was ready, but then found out I wasn’t. I wanted to give up but your videos helped me get through and I feel so much better and less stressed!!! Thank you so much! 😃👍🏻❤️❤️
I went through same experience; I would actually lay in bed and wonder: "what have I done", but these videos which I watch religously have really saved our relationship :) videos are great
It went well. They love the lick pad and tolerate the drier. I have taken them to be groomed twice - the first for a mini intro groom and the second for a full groom. The groomer said she would give the full groom a try but could not guarantee they would tolerate it due to their age. She called when they were done and when I got there she said..."I don't know what you are doing but they were amazing - keep it up!" It is all thanks to you for this video. I find all of the training very helpful and tell everyone about you in Chicago.
This video was SOOOO helpful! Desensitizing to the sounds of the bath first really helped - as did the lickity mat! Thank you so much, Michelle!
Woohoo! We are so glad to hear this was helpful. Stay tuned and keep up the good work!
Best dog bath video ever! I have been looking at these for 12 years. This is the best one for most people who don’t have a dedicated pet bathing area. Great tips and links to products.
Wow never thought about desensitizing them before grooming. Makes so much sense. ot sure how it never came to mind on how to make the experience less stressful by doing a little training first. Good thing I havent gotten my pup yet. Still much research to go
I’m getting a puppy soon! Your channel has helped me a lot :)
im getting a dog soon ive been to see her shes so cute lol

Thanks Michelle for a great video. The first bath for my puppy was so tough as he wanted to constantly get out of the bath tub. Your video was just in time for his 2nd bath and I followed your steps and the bath was a breeze. Thank you so very much. Keep up the good work!
Yes!! I'm so happy to hear the 2nd bath went much better!

Very useful tips ❤️❤️
I have a feeling that I need this video
I am very passionate about animals, even though I know my parents don't want me to get a pet, I LOVE researching and learning about them,and no kiding I have been researching since at least 2 years about dogs but never got such simple to understand and awesome place to learn from...

They decided were not getting a dog and thats the reason I was researching but then they decided not to get a dog so I stopped researching but I just got back into it yesterday even if I cant have 1

I might be getting a puppy and this is helped me to learn so much from you☺️☺️
We are so glad to hear this was helpful! Stay tuned for more!
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.
Hi I love your channel I’m a new mommy to a 13 week old mix hood , So far 1st bath was not terrible , it should be even better with all your good tips !I just can’t understand why my puppy still smelled like (puppy dog)smell after the bath ? THKS Donna🤔
Dream dog. Dream girl. I love you Michelle!
Tysm we’re getting a dog and I had no idea where to start on the bath part!
You're so welcome, and congrats on your new fur baby! Here is our New Puppy Starter Kit to get you started off on the right paw! howtotrainadreamdog.com
Thanks!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support!
This helped me out a lot😢 ty
We are happy it helped!
I'm watching this after I make my two puppies bath for the first time. Well my puppies loves me more than anything so they allowed me to make them bath. I rescued them from the street , they're my kids not my pets . I've them for more than 1 months . I love the way they wags their tails and grabs me, taps my leg with their paws.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your own experience! We are glad bath time has gone well for you guys. Keep up the good work!
Omg, the flea comb around eyes.. ..I’ve got major phobia that hurting my tiny babies . Looks like it’s scraping or can scratch those delicate, tiny eyeballs so easy 😞 so I just do good ol baby wipes or cotton ball 😆 anyway, I so glad I found this helpful channel 🤗 thank u !!!
No worries, its not hurting the pup.
Your dog is soooo cute!! I bathe my dog outside with the hose and he sees it as a game. He loves the water.
That's awesome that he loves it! Makes bathtime easier!
I really wish I would’ve found this video before I attempted the bath! My Yorkie was so aggressive, I didn’t even know he had that much aggression in him! He was growling, barking, and even bit me a few times! All I could do was try to reassure him that it was alright, and he was doing good, and try to get done as quickly as humanly possible 😂 I was a little scared if I’m just being honest. I learned so much in this video. Thank you
Hopefully the information in this video will be helpful when it's time for the next bath! You may need to work on slowly introducing your pup to some of the things bath time brings. Remember to positively reinforce!
Hi Stacy! How are things now with your Yorkie? I pick up my pup today. He’s 12 weeks old. I’m nervous as all heck but love him and watching, reading everything. Would love to know how you and your Yorkie are now? Do share 😊
The first day I had my puppy, he’d cry when I’d leave him so I brought him in the bathroom so I could take a shower. He came right in and joined me. It was obviously unplanned but worked out because it was his decision 💕
Great information. What was on the cotton ball that you used in the ear, at the end of the video?
Oh, I watched it again - I see you said it was an ear cleaner.
Thank you and your dog is so cute by the way I’m new
First bath went very smooth. I have to try the white vinegar and water tip!
We are glad to hear the first bath was OK!
Also, If this helps I usually let my dog in with me when I take a shower so he can get used to the water (this may sound weird but it helps)
i loved it
Yup
Hello Michelle!! My vet actually told me not to use cotton because the fibers could get stuck inside the ears causing infection. She recommended to use gauze instead ☺️
Thanks Maria, there are so many different theories/suggestions from vets all around the globe. We are happy to hear your vet has offered suggestions to help keep water out of your pups ears. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this. I cannot find the links - specifically I am looking for ear cleaner
We don't have an ear cleaner that we recommend, but you can check with your vet or groomer for suggestions.
Great. Video Michele.. you mentioned 50/50 of white vinegar.. that would be the white distilled vinegar correct? Silly question, but there are several kinds out there 😉
Yes, white vinegar is what we use. Great question
Lol I like how you say, salad. “Sail-ed”
Ps. You’re videos are extremely helpful, thank you!
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup. Thank you for the feedback!
Where did u get that sprayer? Where’s it coming from? Also should you give pup snack every bath?
Tq
Thanks for watching!
Nice :)
I think I need to watch this at least 3 more times before I try my puppy 1st bath, I’m kinda nervous.
Watch it as many times as you need to. Just remember- starting the desensitization training long before the first bath will be best! You've got this!
Hi! First time watching this video. I can’t find the links for dryer that you used. Video very informative.
Glad you liked it! Sorry, the dryer we recommended isn't available any longer but do some research and read reviews and you can probably find one similar!
Ty video still going to use 2 yrs later
These tips can be used for older pups too. We're so glad this video was helpful!
U should try to mix your shampoo with a little water it makes it easier to spread
The video was good, but maybe a recommendation to check some specifics on grooming different unusual breeds. For example you would never brush a Komondor (30 years experience) and you don't blow dry a Pumi (2 months experience) in both cases you would be destroying the coat.
Thank you for the feedback!

So, I'm getting a puppy this Sunday. Super long hair and a really flat face (basically a walking fluff ball in a literal sense). This video makes me feel better about future baths, but I am sure they are still going to be a long process with how much hair he has. I have been watching your videos over and over again cause I am super nervous. My family does not raise their dogs like I am going to so it is gonna be weird. Nevertheless, you have really helped me beyond words. Thank you very much! : ]
im getting a dog in a year
@@Marangelize cool! what breed?
How much of the white vinagre + water do you apply?
Do you recommend the use of waterless shampoo is between? Any specific one that you would recommend for short hair (chihuahua) puppy? Thank you!
I persoanlly don't recommend waterless shampoos for use on a regular basis. The build up can cause skin irritation. When I ran my grooming shop we had quite a few dogs come in caked in dry shampoo. The poor dogs started to get itchy from all the powder.
What type of dog are you bathing? He kinda looks like mine and I am just curious if they are the same breed.
Thank you! I love your videos! But did anyone notice she was in the bath tub hehe 🙃
hi Michelle, are you able to link the hairdryer you used as well as the affordable one you mentioned?
The dryer I mentioned is in the description as well as the links to all other tools or products I mentioned :-)
@@HowToTrainADreamDog oops my apologies, thank you! 😊 Your channel has been so helpful, keep doing the work your doing!
Nice video
Thanks so much! We appreciate you taking your time to comment!
I don't have a detachable shower head or tub sprayer so container it is
That works!
My puppy is 4 months old and she hates baths! She is a Min Pin so she has stand up ears and it is a battle to wash her ears. I put my hand so that I can hold down her ears over her ear canals but she is a major wiggle worm. In general she just does not like it. Would it help to give her a bath more often? Right now in the two months that I have owned her I have given her two baths.
It could be your tub set up or that she just hates to have water near her head. I would use a washcloth around her head so the water from the sprayer doesn't set her off.
Oh man! Where was this video a few weeks ago. Question my puppy hates peanut butter, what can I used on the lick mat instead
Applesauce, baby food like a peas and beans mix or a baby food meat like turkey
Try liverwurst, never had a dog that didn’t love it. I use it when or if my dogs need medication.
🌸
How to see if the dog is allergic to shampoo or not? Thank you for replying to our comments♡♡
If you're worried about the shampoo you can start with something that is has limited ingredients or is made for dogs with sensitive skin. Just like with humans, unless you know the known allergies, there's no real way to know unless you use the product and have the reaction. You can always test on a small area and wait a few days to see if there is a reaction or not.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog Thank you very very much😍😍♥️. Do I have to test with water?
When I give my puppy a bath, the cotton balls in his ears fall out 🙁 how can I prevent that? it could be because he shakes when he showers or sometimes it just falls out
lol same here!
Thanks for watching!
Are there links for the ear cleanser and hair dryer?
You can talk about the ear cleanser with your vet but here is a dryer we like:
www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/dryer
Can you help me I’m got a new dog and he is so cute but he won’t stop chewing on the 🪑 furniture
Hello,
Is it better to use cotton balls and ear cleaner or
Ear wipes?
You may want to ask your vet for the best recommendations.
Hope ur back problems get better I know how that feels
Thank you for your kind words
Hi may I know how to get these stuff that you stick to the bath to lock him and make him busy licking his food
It's called a "lick mat" and here's one option:
www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/lickety_mat
There are many options so we recommend getting a few different kinds for novelty.
mam is it compulsory to get a dryer
I’m getting a new sog , from a farm, will it be ok , the day I get him to bathe him or is that bad!
It would be better to just wipe him down with a wet towel. Save the bath for later, when you've had some time to desensitize the process and the tools you'll be using.
Helpful video. I get my new puppy next week.
Can you add the links to where you found the lick pad and the tub restrainer please?
Here's a link to our website where we have those products listed for you, with links on where you can purchase them. www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/products/
hi can i ask samething are dogs no allegac to peanut butter
Dogs can have peanut butter but you have to make sure it's the all natural kind with NO artificial sugar (best if the only ingredient is peanuts). Artificial sugar like xylitol is toxic to dogs.
Thank you so much! Is it ok if I bathe my dog two days in a row? Just for these two days
It's not good for dogs to be bathed too often. It would be better to space out the baths.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog ok thank you so much
Hi!
Where’s the dryer link ??
Here's a link to a similar dryer (that we actually like a little more!) www.howtotrainadreamdog.com/dryer
what kind of high velocity dryer to you have?
There is a link to the dryer in the description below!
lol my puppy get's me sowced
It did not go smooth but with your tps it went way better than it could have
Keep working toward that goal! Hopefully with more practice you'll have better luck going forward.
Hi Michelle, my dog stinks. What to do to remove the stinks? aside from bathing, because i can bath him every hour, is there a DIY perfume that you can teach us. kindly please advise. thank you
We don't recommend masking "stink" with cologne. Remember your dog's sense of smell is about 40 times better than our own. This means putting a sent on them can be overwhelming for them and it really will only mask the "stink" for a short period of time. Oftentimes smell comes from what our dogs eat and of course not drying your dog thoroughly. A damp dog will smell stinky and musty. Also, a dog will never smell fresh and clean like we do when we step out of the shower. The oils from their skin, dander, and fur all contribute to their distinct smell. If you're concerned with your dog's odor speak to your vet. They may have overactive oil glands or another underlying medical issue that needs to be checked out.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog Thanks Pam, i mean Michelle. Thats really good advise. I appreciate youre response. Keep up the good work!. (im just kidding when i say Pam). Have a nice day.
I use conditioner on my dog and she smells edible after her bath.
Do you get the dog accustomed to the dryer before using
Yes. Definitely work on desensitization of all the tools before using them on the dog.
What if you (the owner) is allergic to peanut butter? Is there an alternative?
Greek yogurt
Now I see what I did wrong, thank you!
You're welcome!
Where getting it from stick bowl food dry biscuit on bath and lead suck on bath me got 2 months old pup when best time bsth
If you're asking when you can give your new puppy a bath, we suggest you wait until you've followed the steps in this video to make it a positive experience for her.
what are you putting in the lickity mat?
You can put any dog-safe foods! For example, smashed blueberries, mashed banana, pure pumpkin puree, coconut oil or peanut butter. Check out this post on our IG: instagram.com/p/ChVfWVnuZ_I/?
thanks ♡. you don't wash his face?
If your dog is comfortable with water on or around his face you can use water to wash otherwise you may want to use a washcloth to wipe his face and eye goobers away.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog thanks alot💞
You really didn’t show how to wash the face ~ I’ve got a Shihtzu puppy with a prominent nose & I’m curious how to wash his nose/cheeks without getting water in his nose..?
I appreciate your videos!
In the video, I mentioned using the flea comb to clean out to goop around the eyes and I also mentioned using a washcloth around the face.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog 👍🏼 Aside from that, you don’t wash the facial hair?
Thanx!
On the other note, you are so pretty 😘
Thank you! :)
Mine issue is my puppy is so small he can’t have that many treats as he is so small and doesn’t eat much at the time.
You can use his kibble for training. Or some of the moist treats are easy to break into very small pieces.
Do you think realistically a first time owner is buying all of this stuff like there’s not more simple way to do it?
These are suggestions for products that work well and that we have personally tried.
Is there any solutions for biting?
Yes we have 3 videos on our channel all about biting and nipping:
