\n- With the pup now in the tub, turn the water on and off.\u2028 Treat for the dog remaining calm as you turn the water on\u2028 and off. Continue turning the water on and off, and keep \u2028treating for calm, relaxed behavior. The goal is to get a\u2028 high rate of reinforcement going, as we really want to\u2028 create a great emotional response to being in the tub.<\/li>\n
- Once the dog is comfortable with the water being turned on and off, the groomer or bather can start to wet the dog. This part of the process should be done slowly, and care should be taken not to startle the dog.<\/li>\n
- Now that the dog is wet, if not using a bathing system, put some of your shampoo mixture on the dog. A recommendation is to mix the shampoo with water in a bottle or container prior to bathing. This way, the shampoo will immediately rinse off the animal because it is in solution, which makes this part of the process much easier.<\/li>\n
- Prior to putting shampoo on the dog, it is recommended\u2028 that you use SafeEye drops. These drops are a mineral\u2028 oil ophthalmic that protects the eyes from the burning\u2028 sensation of shampoo, which can be very irritating.<\/li>\n
- Next, apply the shampoo and work it into the dog’s coat. If the dog seems stressed, you might be rubbing too hard. Keep in mind that dogs are very sensitive to this as there are many neurotransmitters located in the hair follicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As a final note on bathing, the Meet and Treat may be a good time to assess the dog’s reaction to being in the tub and\/or to also being picked up. Depending upon the dog’s level of comfort with this, you may or may not be able to proceed at this point with introducing the above tools and situations related to the bathing process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
