Have You Ever Bathed Your Dog Outside?

[lvpets2002]

Well all I have to state is the last time I tried that trick of bathing my dogs outside was by the time I was done I dont know who got bathed me or the dogs.. So I decided if I ever try that again I will invest in a wetsuit.. Realy now I buy those shampoo cloths & they work good & the dogs like them..

I have an attachment that hooks on the shower and I just walk mine in there to bath them. Makes it nicer then outside, because you can control the temperature. No way I could lift them into the tub anymore.

I have bathed them outside too though, when the weather's nice and hot. I put the hose attachment on a very gentle setting with the water flow and just keep my hand on their chest to keep them from running off. I started when they're puppies, so they tolerate it okay. I wouldn't say it's high on their lists of things to do though.

But I do have to say, that things worked out so well with the groomer for Oz and Gull, I'm going to do that on a regular basis now. Oz smelled awesome for a month. Gull a couple of weeks. And their shedding was down. Me and my back have decided it's well worth the 40 bucks, twice a year.

We usually bathe them outside. A good "stay" works well in situations like these. When I bathe other people's dogs I tie them to the gate. We have a cement sidewalk on the side that I bathe them on, keeps their pawsies clean too.

When it gets "cold" or it's late at night we bathe them in the tub. They all know the command "Get in the Tub", so that works nicely.
