How to bathe a stubborn dog?

It is possible the dog is injured in some way, or his hair is matted to the point where it hurts… I’d first go to the vet to have him checked out. If there’s nothing wrong with him, consider a professional grooming service. At least for the first bath. There after, if it’s not that he’s in pain, uhm try different ways of doing it. For example. He may not like being dumped into a bucket/bath tub with water. He may be ok with a shower (if you’ve got those shower heads). Maybe he’d prefer a bucket with water and doesnt like a shower. Try sponging him down. There’s something upsetting him, if you can figure out what that is, you’d have better luck…

my dog is a chihuahua and she hates bathes. We bathe her 1 time every month in a sink because she hates the bath tub. we give her a treat and warm towl after. the poor little thing shivers so much. Use calming words with your dog dont yell at him tell him its ok in a high pitch voice. my dog loves that. hope I helped

get in the shower with him and bath him that way..I used to have to do that with the dalmation we had

tie him up and give him treats after you bathe him
