yep thats about it... in the tub or sink...it does say on there to let them get aquainted with it first, so I have it sitting out where they can see and sniff it, then in a day or 2 I will tie a toy on there, so they arent scared of it... either way as soon as they are in it they will NOT like it! but it's necessary if I am ever going to be able to groom them without being shredded! and its not like I will use it often, just when they need claws done or baths.
