All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

My little dude is perfectly calm in the tub... So long as I get in with him.

I wish mine had a bar like that I could leash them to. My husky is too big to be in the tub with and she doesn't like baths either (despite loving water literally any other time ๐Ÿ˜”).

You could try something like this. I haven't used those but the bar does help a bunch. That, plus one hand constantly on their heads to keep them from shaking the soapy water off before it's time made a big difference. And lots of treats to expect afterwards. My dogs are fine once they're in there and wet, they just want to do everything possible to avoid it beforehand -- and who can blame them.
