I've never had one act like that either but if I did I would close the windows so that the neighbors didn't think I was murdering a dog, and just get on with it. He's a big boy now, if his antics get to the point where he is going to hurt either himself or you, put a prong on him and let him self correct. For the dryer, it helps to put the table in a corner, so that he can't go backwards or to one side for that...I have had adults here (not mine) who were stupid about getting nails dremeled...funny, a prong, a soft nylon muzzle and ignoring their antics works wonders. I just refuse to argue. No treats...what did he do to be good?????

We have had him since he was 3 months old and he literally "freaks out" when you try to bathe him. He is climbing out of the tub, trying to climb the walls, etc. He mostly hates when you turn the sprayer on to rinse him. It takes 2 people to give him a bath. I have never had a dog that acted like this in the tub before. We have tried giving him cookies, treats, just letting him stand in the tub without turning on the water..He also hates the dryer just as much. I don't know what to do, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Now he will lay on the floor and let you use the dremel on his nails without an issue. Go figure! HELP, He has his 1st dog shows this weekend! Patti ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
