Dog Training - Dog Bathing

Dog bathing is a must when living with a dog. Dogs naturally get smelly and are not like cats in being able to wash themselves well and be hygienic, this is why dog owners have to look after their dogs hygiene for them once in a while.

Dog bathing should take place when your dog starts to smell or is very dirty, some breeds of dog find it very hard to keep smelling pretty as you will quickly come to notice. Running around every day rubbing yourself up against trees, bushes, benches and rolling around on grass or getting drenched head to paws in rivers or puddles are all common occurrences in a dogs life and all contribute to dog smelliness.

It is important to make sure you brush your dogs coat and fur through before every bathing session to remove all bits of debris that may have got caught up in your dog’s fur since their last bath along with tangles or matted hair that may have formed. If you ignore this step any tangles and matted hair will get worse after bathing and make it an impossible task to rid of them.

You will need to use special pet shampoo and conditioner to clean your dog; human shampoo uses a different ph level and can be bad for your dog’s skin. Starting off by letting your dog get used to running water, warm water should be used to wash your dog, it is best to use a jug or container to gently pour water on your dog. Be sure not to put water directly on your dogs face to be sure not to frighten them off or scare them.

When your dog is wet, keep reassuring them and rewarding them if the behaviour is good to get the message across that bathing is not a bad thing. Rub the shampoo and conditioner onto your dog gently and being sure to do a proper job of getting all the smells and everything else out.

To finish off, rinse all the soapy water and shampoo of your dog and dry your dog in the same way you would yourself or if your dog has easily matted hair use patting only to dry your dog, when this is all done reward your dog with praise and rewards for being cooperative with you.

    Eric,

    From the bottom of my heart thank you for posting this Vid! I never had a dog and got an american bulldog. After scanning all of Vids yourS stuck in my head. My pup only “got busy” one time in the house as a pup. And because his bladder could not hold to the door from the kennel. Your get busy command is the best thing i have learned on this dog voyage!! THANK YOU!!!!

  • Good choice of words haha. Thank you for the vid. Do you happen to have any on getting your puppy to actually go outside and walk with you?

  • loved this video too; i live in a very cold part of Canada and just got a puppy a month ago. I take him out regularily but sometimes when it is too cold it is hard to get him to concentrate. I will try taking the leash today and using a command word. Thank you for this video. I think if animal shelters used more behavioralists to offer free animal behaviour advice there would be less animals euthanised; animal shelters should try to help the frustrated pet owners as part of the process.

  • We got our puppy 12 days ago and this is working GREAT! Thank you!

  • good advice. i lost my puppys collar and have been letting him go out without a leash and ive had nothing but problems. makes sense

  • Only problem i have is that everytime i put the leash on my pup gets too excited and begins to pee before we even get outside… no idea how to deal with that all i do is just not even take him out anymore when he does that
