In addition to the tips above, there are ways to make washing your dog more enjoyable for both you and your pet: If your dog needs frequent washing because of your lifestyle or environment, consider installing an indoor or outdoor dog washing station (it could double for humans and boot washes too). Little dogs may feel more comfortable being bathed in the kitchen sink. Get younger dogs used to bathing as soon as possible and they won’t think anything of a dog wash. Make a game out of it and offer treats or toys for good behaviour.
