    I too treat my Abby's bath as a spa treatment. I always try to dim the lighting a bit, play zen music softly, talk to during the whole time, spend a little more time during the shampoo and conditioning and incorporating an extended massage treatment and rinse like you. Towel drying is first patting with cuddles change to a dry towel and repeat. When I do take her to a groomer they always remark about how she is always so relaxed and appears to enjoy the bath. Thank you for sharing this procedure which I feel is perfection.

      I’m so glad that this was helpful to you. I actually own a hair salon in Boston, and I learned so much by seeing the condition of my clients scalps when they come in. It sounds so funny, but I can actually tell the difference and I can see when people have rushed their showers and they haven’t done a great job of rinsing away all of the products. Just a little bit of buildup on your scalp can cause a lot of irritation.
      I always rinse, and then I rinse past the point where I think that everything is removed to make sure that my dogs are not itchy, irritated or greasy after I finish.
      I hope you have a blessed day as well. Thank you so much for your kindness.

    Great job. You bathe your Yorkies exactly the same way I bathe my Maltese, except I use a blow-dryer after a good towel dry and I use a small sponge to clean his eyes and rinse his face. Good call on the shampoo for dogs, and not using shampoo for humans. Yorkies are so darn cute.

    • @MeganGraham
      @MeganGraham  2 роки тому +1

      I do sometimes blow dry them, especially in the winter. It just depends on the temp (and how much time I have). Yes, so important to use dog shampoo. Eventually I may work on formulating my own. I would like to see more organic dog shampoos!

    This was so perfect! Our 1.5 year old puts up with baths. Our 1 year old wants to fight it tooth and nail. I’m actually going to go gather all her supplies now for a bath and see if I can help make this a more calming experience for her over time.

    • @MeganGraham
      @MeganGraham  2 роки тому +2

      One more tip they can make a big difference, before you actually give your puppy a bath try to go for a nice long walk so that they are more calm and even a little bit tired and hopefully it will be a little bit easier. Also don’t go for the “perfect bath” the first time. Just do a nice little mini bath maybe don’t even try to do the head at all just go for the torso so that it seems like an easier bathtime and then do a complete bath next time.

    My Biewer Terrier (a yorkie of different colors. Look it up.) gets very agitated in water and wants to struggle to get away,, but seeing this makes me eager to try it.. I have been experimenting with giving her baths of only certain areas at a time, so she won't think of it as a full bath. ( the chest, beard and face one day and the front and back legs and body on different days ). She is much more comfortable doing it that way. But it is inefficient! And your method looks so lovely and gracious, soft and quiet..No surprises, and nothing in the eyes.. She was just spayed today so I won't be able to try it for 14 days... but I am looking forward to it!

    I appreciate this video. I have a 14 week old male Yorkie. He HATES baths! It's traumatic for both of us. We are both soaking wet when we're done. I hope to get better at it. How do you get your baby so comfortable during bath time?

    • @MeganGraham
      @MeganGraham  2 роки тому +2

      I always say that slow and steady wins the race. So if your dog very much dislikes having a bath I would start very very slow with the process and work up to a regular bath. So maybe the first time you do it make it as pleasant of an experience as possible… Take your baby for a long walk before so he’s nice and tired, and then just do one of the steps like just put your puppy in the sink and maybe just wet your puppies feet and then dry them off.
      Don’t try to do any more than that just go for success. And then the next Time you could try just to shampoo the rear half of your puppy. Shampoo and condition and don’t try to do any more than that. Doing a little bit more each time might be less overwhelming.

      Hi there, there’s really no way that I could answer that. I can’t answer why a dog doesn’t bark. I don’t think every Yorkshire terrier barks and I don’t necessarily think that anything is wrong if it’s quiet.
      Mine bark more because there are several of them. Dogs have unique personalities just like humans.

      @MeganGraham  2 роки тому

      Don’t let that scare you away from giving him more bands. You are such an awesome and caring dog owner, and I’m sure you can learn to give them the best bands ever. And I guarantee you he would much rather have his mama give him a bath and to go to the groomer every time he needs one. You will save lots of money, time and stress for your baby. If you have any questions just feel free to write me with them, but I believe in you, and everything takes practice for you to be an expert, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try just because you had one bad experience. Now you know how to not have that happen :-)

      The washcloth method works so well. I actually started doing it after a week where I just didn’t have time to give Lola a bath, but it also couldn’t leave her face looking so dirty. It’s such an easy way to touch up their faces and I actually often touch them up with a washcloth daily.

      Hi there, I am so glad that this was helpful. I have had yorkies for so long. I always share the little things I do with them to try to make the process smoother for others. Mine have had baths for years of course, but they still don't look forward to the process. :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I would recommend you talk about fast hair growth fortified shampoo.
