I bath my 2 dogs every once a week. Since they share the same room as me, i wouldn't allow them to be too dirty. Luckily my dogs are obedient and don't move much when bathing. Just that they like to shake away the water and make me all wet! What about you? How often do you bath your dog? Do your dog like bathing? How do your dog behave?

I used to bathe my dog every other day but one time, I kind of created a phobia to her while bathing. She was not used to bathing in a tub. I thought she might want to swim like all the other dogs I see in the TV. hehehe.So I filled up the tub with water and she freaked out. She got scared after that incident. From then on, she refuses to take a bath. When she knew I was going to take her to bath, she would crawl under the side table and won't leave there no matter what. Or if ever I lured her to bathe, sometimes she would scare me like she's gonna bite me so she won't be able to take a bath. Clever dog really.

My daughter dog doesn't like to bath. She shivering when bathing. So I always have to be quick on her. Get bath fast then dry her fast. I just bathe her yesterday. She was running around and I have to catch her. She's even showing her teeth with an angry face. I seldom see her so but she gave in at the end. Now she's clean and smells good.

That's what my dog usually do. Letting me see her fangs with a growling sound. Oh! Scary sometimes. just because she doesn't want to take a bath. Oh my! it's getting harder and harder to get her to bathe really. I've used a lot of tricks already and I'm running out of it. She smells awful now. I'm looking for a perfect timing really.

I used to do it daily when my daughter dog is just 1 month old. However, after listening to some people saying that bathing everyday is not good for the fur of the dog, therefore I stop doing so. I adjusted to one week once so that my dogs won't get too stink.

My husband usually bathes our dog once a week. Our dog is Labrador, she really likes bathing. Every time when my husband prepares to bath her, she is very excited, as she likes to play with water a lot. It's not easy to bath her though, because she always play with the water, and shake her body, so my husband always gets wet when bathing her. But I like to see her playing around with the water, she seems really happy with it.
