Max gets his bath outside. My friend bathes her dogs in her bathtub. :rolleyes: Why do I have a problem with that?! Where do you bathe your dog?

We used to bathe our dog in the bath tub, he wasnt too big so it wasnt too hard.

We bathe our dog outside in her pool when it's warm out. But when it's winter and cold out, we don't want her to get sick, so we usually do it in the bathtub. It's fun cleaning it when we're done though.:rolleyes:

We find it easier to bathe her in the tub. My teenage dd gets in there with her and washes her and rinses her off. We tried washing her outside, but she can get away toooo easily.

She loves to be blow dried in the winter. lol

We do it outside. Although Barney would fit in the bathtub, it freaks him out too much to be in there. :rolleyes:

Ours gets bathed in the bathtub. My 13 yr old son gets in with him & helps. Then the bath gets a clean when we are finished.:p :bounce:

My dog is small only 15-18 pounds
He usually get a bath in the bathtub
but when he was a puppy he used to get a puppy shower in the sink with the sprayer
I don't think that's weird or anything
We clean the tub or sink really well afterward

Maggie, our Yorkie, usually goes to the groomer once a month. But if we have to bathe her at home, she goes in the tub.
Milo, our Corgi, gets bathed in the tub, too. Maggie is only 6 pounds and Milo is only 23 pounds...the tub is much easier than outside.

My beagle doesn't like water at all.

So, I have a small plastic tub I half fill with water and shampoo, scrub him down with the soap water and rinse him off.

This is outside, of course, I do it in the winter too, only takes a couple minutes and I use really warm water.

We bathe our bichons in the shower. Our mutt outside if possible since he sheds so much!

We bathe our dog in the bath tub. It's in an extra bathroom that we don't use, so we always clean the tub really well before company sleeps over.

I like that idea...your pooch has his own bathtub! I hope he realizes he's in the lap of luxury. :teeth:

And this has to be the ultimate luxury for the pooch and owner! Max is about 75 pounds. When he shakes during his bath, we ALL get a bath. :p

Funny you should ask this, I just bathed our corgi, Nana! I bathed her outside this time, but sometimes I do it in the tub inside. She's so good about it, I think she really likes the attention and doting!:D

Our dog is 23 pounds and she gets bathed in the utility sink in the laundry room.

I bathe my dog in the bath tub. It would be pointless to bathe her outside. She'd run away from me and go find some dirt to roll around in... :rolleyes:

A swimmer! I wonder if Max is a swimmer. He's a flat-coated retriever, except he won't retrieve anything! LOL! :p

We have a jacuzzi/hot tub thing... It's pretty big and so we bathe him there. Mind you, he's only a pomeranian and a regular bathtub would be ok. But there's more room in the jacuzzi. :)

Our last Lab had to be picked up and placed in the tub...He hated getting baths! That was hard to do since he weighed in at 100 lbs! Our present Lab, Hunter, loves the water!!! I have to watch him all the time because he jumps into the tub on his own, whether it's his bath water or someone elses!:rolleyes:

I have a dog grooming room with a raised bath tub so I don't have to bend over to bathe the dogs. It also has a hand held shower sprayer.

We do the bathtub for our small dog (18 lbs). He will run and jump in. he likes the attention, but not getting wet. He has actually jumped in the shower before while I was in there ......he thought he was getting his bath.....;)
and he loves to be blown dry.....he falls asleep while I do it.

I know this is odd for most dogs but we did it since he was a puppy and he does not know any different......:) :)

outside - my dog - a german shepherd - loves to swim but hates to get a bath (and hates the rain). I gave her a bath last week outside with the hose, usually do it with DH but he was working. Very hard to do with one person. I got her all soaped up and was about to start washing her off when she took off running around and around the house like a lunatic. It was sooo funny - my neighbors were cracking up.
