How to Give a Dog a Bath When The Dog Doesn't Like Baths

You will need:
  • One large dirty dog
  • Dog shampoo
  • Large cup or mug
  • Peanut butter
  • Spatula
  • Large towel
  • Bath tub
Begin by filling the bath tub with 4-5 inches of warm water. Once the tub has enough water, use the spatula to spread the peanut butter on the walls of the tub. The peanut butter should be slightly higher than the level of the dog's nose. Use the spatula to entice the dog into the bath. Once the dog is happily eating, use the cup to pour water over the dog until all the fur is wet. Apply shampoo. Lather. Rinse, using the cup again.
Once the peanut butter is gone, the dog will loose interest and exit the tub. The idea is to time the bath such that the clean dog coincides with a clean shower wall.


Use the towel to dry the dog.
