When bathing your puppy you should always be gentle. The first thing you should do is place a small leash on the puppy. Do this so that your puppy can not move around.The leash will help you control the dog. Place them in a bath tub or an enclosure such as a plastic pool and use warm water. Next be sure to use enough shampoo to form a lather. You can put the puppy shampoo right on their body and rub it in. For white colored dogs you should use a stronger shampoo. The reason for this is because the stains or dirt on your puppy can build easier on white colored dogs. If your puppy moves around while you are washing them. Use the leash to control them. Be sure to wash the paws thoroughly as well as the stomach.These are two areas that may be hard to wash so take your time. When the puppy has been washed thoroughly then you can use a dry towel to dry them. After that you should dry them off with a blow dryer while they are placed on an elevated table. When using the blow dryer you need to hold the puppy in place because they might be agitated by it. Cleaning your puppy due to urine or poop that may be on them as well as dirt will ensure that your puppy stays clean and healthy. Sometimes it is an adventure however it needs to be done.
