    Hey you might want to get one of those suction non slip mats for children to go in the bottom of the bath. Half the reason my dog hated baths was because it was slippery and he felt unsafe (he’s also a large dog). As soon as I put one of those mats in and he could stand normally, he realised it wasn’t a big deal and started getting in the bath begrudgingly but voluntarily.

    This is genius. Gonna do this for my boy next bath. He hates them, he constantly tries to climb out, and the peanut butter on the wall thing doesn’t work.

    I brush mine almost daily, do not need to wash. Using soap or shampoo removes the natural oils which then makes things worse. Just brush.
