Today was Laddie's first bath. It was interesting. At first, he really struggled to get free, but, I kept talking calmly to him and he settled down to a quiet whimper. Man, that coat of his is thick, it took forever to get water to penetrate it. I shampooed him thoroughly then used a conditioner on him, he did not seem to mind either. I used that Shampoo by Chris Christensen called Day to Day, also the same conditioner.

Drying him was a trip, LOL. At first, he tried to snap at me when I started using the blow dryer, but, I scolded him nicely and he calmed down and seemed to like it, it took forever to get him dry, I brushed him as I dried him. He actually started to like it near the end. After I was finished, I put a little powder on his coat and brushed him "fluffing the coat up"

I must say, he looks gorgeous now, I really enjoyed it. He is sleeping next to me now, the stress must have wore him out. He still loves me too, He He.
 
I'm so glad his first bath went so well :biggrin2: My pup likes to escape the bath tub now, but when I first was giving him baths... he'd always want in the tub to the point he'd hop in the shower with me... I got tired of lifting him out of the tub so I just let him stay the one time the whole time.. he was soaked! He never did it again though :lol:
 
I love the CC Day to Day line, it's great stuff. The more you work with Laddie and bathe him, the easier it will be. I don't dry my dogs completely even in the winter...the blow dryer will dry their coats out. I dry them about halfway while I brush, and then let them air dry the rest of the way.

I'm so glad the bath and grooming went well! Yes, he does love you! :yes:
 
Oops, sorry for not posting pictures during his bath, there was no one around to take them, however, I will post some of him in my album now that he is cleaned and brushed out. :uhoh:
