Its a good tip, one I have used for a long time. It makes it much more comfortable for them, no slipping.

Though I've been known to get into the tub with the dog. I am sitting in the tub and dog is between my legs. Its easier on my back that way. We both get a bath at the same time. Though I need to shower off when done.

I do the same thing. Our dog is 12 and has diabetes and is totally blind so to take the fear out of bath time I place a large towel on the bottom of the tub so he doesn't lose his footing and I too get in with him. It seems to be more enjoyable if I am in the shower with him and I talk to him the entire time he's taking his little bath.

When bathing our puppy I wear my t-shirt in the shower and hold him. This way he doesn't claw up my skin and I have found he's a little more relaxed when I hold and talk to him.

The things we do! :0)
