I started bathing my dog in the shower with me, instead of leaning over the tub.........it is easier. My husband waits with a towel, and it goes much easier. Now, he wants to go in the tub or shower anytime, and if we don't have the door closed tightly, he is either putting his front paws into the bath water, or finding an opening in the shower curtain, to try to hop in. Anyone else have a bath tub buddy! lol
