You need to accustom your dog to bathing from an early age.

To begin with, you can only wipe the body and paws with a damp towel, and only then begin to bathe the pet in a basin or bathtub.

The last procedures are permissible if the four-legged friend has already stopped being afraid of water.

If the animal is afraid of water, then you should start weaning it from negative associations. In this case, you should be patient so that the pet does not experience serious stress.

In addition, it is also important to give the dog time to get used to the room. You should let him look around, sniff everything. Experts even recommend closing the door for a while.

Once your pet gets used to it, you need to invite him to go into the shower or jump into the bathtub on his own.

You can turn on the water at this point so that the puppy can get used to the sound of the water.

Only then should you fill the bathtub with a small amount of water and bathe the animal.
