The time has come to traumatize Mr Woof with a bath. Wish us luck.

Good luck. Hope you come back unscathed.

We have survived, and dried off with a post-bath Walkies.

Too late, but I have attached some photos from a previous bath.

Poor puppy! Mine wants in the bath, until she's in it, then she wants out NOW! Slippery Jack Russell's are hard to catch.

Mr Woof never wants in the bath. He stands there miserable the whole time. The bath I use has attachment points so I can keep him leashed the whole time and make sure he can't try to jump out.

We just use the laundry trough, yours looks like a much better system. I've seen people spread peanut butter on the side of the bath, would this help Mr Woof?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I used to use the laundry trough, with the washing machine next to it for a grooming table. This does work better, because it is fully enclosed. I don't think peanut butter would help Mr Woof, he is not very food oriented at all, expecially when he is a bit stressed.
