How to bathe a puppy for the first time
Make the bathing area a positive space.
Before giving your puppy his first bath, play with him in the bath or sink a few times without any water. Go slowly and convince your puppy that a bath is a good thing.

Options are:
-- Always wash the puppy first, taking care not to hurt him. Be patient and keep your steps gentle and consistent.
-- Letting him smell the soap/shampoo once or twice will encourage him to increase water intake. Your puppy will then begin to crave the bath and react inappropriately.
-- He may not adjust to the water as quickly as you might've thought. Your pup might not enjoy the bath the first few 20 times, but don't give up! You can do this.
-- Let him run around in the water for a long time and watch him run about in the bath to relieve himself. As a result, you can gradually increase your water use and form positive associations with your puppy using only water.

He may not adjust to the water as quickly as you might've thought. Your pup might not enjoy the bath the first few 20 times, but don't give up! You can do this.
