People who have raised dogs know that dogs are worried about taking a bath. Every time they bathe their dogs, they suffer from "explosive resistance" from their dogs. So the question is, why do dogs worry about taking a bath? How can I take a shower so that the dog can take a bath without resisting? Let’s take a look below!
Dogs are worried about taking a bath?
Dogs are born not waterproof, and they need to use a lot of water to bathe. Dogs rarely encounter so much water (except for swimming water). For them, they are very unfamiliar and have a psychological fear. To be honest, nine out of the ten dogs hate water, so they will worry about taking a bath.
2. Dogs love their own feelings
As for dogs' nature, if they roll in the grass or on the road twice, they can get rid of itch. Why do you have to take a shower and take a bath? Moreover, the dog's taste is very agile, and the smell of shower gel is very pungent to it, so they continue to break free while taking a shower, not expecting their own feelings to be washed away.
3. Taking a bath will produce bad memories
For some dogs, taking a bath will make them think of bad memories. Do you still remember the reaction when you helped your dog take a shower for the first time? Is it gentle or rough? Should I use a shower shower to rush the dog immediately? Is the temperature suitable? Or let water and shower gel irritate the dog's eyes when taking a bath? What's more, do you scold it while bathing it? After taking a shower, blow it with a very hot hair dryer? In many cases, the first bathing experience makes the dog create bad memories, so every time he hears taking a bath, the dog is crazy and resistant.
So how can we keep the dog from resisting when taking a bath?
1. Improve the non-waterproof situation
The pet owner can use the shower room at home or the outdoor reservoir. Every time the dog approaches the reservoir or is sprayed in by the shower, he will give a proactive reply. The laughter, praise, and interaction with the dog can all become the reason why the dog is obsessed with sprinkling water, but this must be induced for a longer period of time, and the pet is patient.
2. Dry cleaner reduces the frequency of water flushing
For these dogs that are extremely resistant to bathing, pet owners can try to use simple dry cleaner methods to remove the human body for the dog. First, pour the shower gel tap water diluent, then pour it on the dog's body and rub it out of foam plastic, so that the dog only needs to rinse water once to take a bath, which can reduce the time when the dog feels it is not suitable.
3. Reminders for abandoning previous baths
Since "take a bath" once will create bad memories for the dog, the pet owner can abandon all reminders for taking previous baths. It can be replaced with another pseudonym for bathing, such as changing "bathing" to "sweet fragrance", and then helping the dog create a negative bathing memory. Then when the dog hears "Sweet fragrance", the dog will actively run to take a shower.
4. Reward
The ultimate way is to reward the dogs. If they use their favorite snacks as rewards when taking a bath, they will not easily resist. Since dogs are all greedy, many dogs will become smarter if they have rewards.
