Foreword
Floret resists to take a bath at the beginning. As soon as she hears "take a bath", she instinctively takes evasive behavior and runs around. For this reason, I have been reflecting on whether it is a step that makes it afraid and leads to its dislike of taking a bath. If we can use the right method to guide it and make it feel comfortable and safe, maybe Floret will fall in love with taking a bath. I don't have to catch Floret to take a bath every time.
Reflect on the bathing process
I am in the bathroom at home to Xiaohua bath, the space is larger, there is no depression, bath I will show a very nervous mood, worried about it noisy, so the bath is generally very fast, wet, apply shampoo, comb hair, rinse, dry, blow, the end, seemingly very simple bath steps, but there is a big problem, Xiaohua is not familiar with the bath. The sudden water becomes very panic, because I am afraid that the floret will be noisy, so I will also be very anxious, causing the floret to be infected by me and become very anxious, sometimes because it does not cooperate, I will reprimand, leading to the floret's psychological bath is equal to reprimand, so from the heart, the long-term past has become boredom, find the reason, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine to change!
Bath tips
Familiarize yourself with the "environment"
Every time Xiaohua took a bath, she began to be nervous and shivered all over when she entered the bathroom. I realized that the bathroom made her afraid, so I put some toys in the bathroom. If Xiaohua went into the bathroom to play, I would give her snacks and praise her with exaggerated words. At first, she was very timid and dared not go inside. I sat in the bathroom and played with her toys. She found that there was no harm. Will try to go inside, do not rush to get up immediately, oh, wait until it comes in and play with you for a while, then get up and leave, let it play alone inside, repeated training, the little guy will sometimes take the initiative to go to the bathroom to play, if the bathroom is not open, it will wait at the door to see how cute the little guy is with his head tilted!
Familiar with "Water Sound"
When the environment is familiar, consider the problem of water, when the water is wet on the floret, it will be very disgusted, a toss and turn, I am covered with water, I began to play in the bathroom when the floret, turn the tap to the minimum, the floret is familiar with the sound of water, sometimes the water will touch the floret, the floret will dodge, sometimes there will be a claw to beat. It is not dangerous to let it get familiar with the water by itself, and gradually increase the water flow. During this period, I did not leave the bathroom. I always looked at the flowers with a smile and encouraged them to play with the water. Sometimes I would squat down and splash the flowers with water. The flowers would show unusual excitement and run around. I would squat down and scratch the flowers with my hands. In this way, it would become very quiet and scratch in the water. It's warm and comfortable, little guy, I like it very much, but this method caused me to blow his hair without listening to it for a while.
Familiar with "Hair Dryer"
The sound of the hair dryer is usually very loud, it does not like the sound of the hair dryer, so every time the hair dryer starts to operate, it becomes very timid, get up and run, at this time, I still take a gradual approach, first open to the minimum, blow its back and massage, massage after giving food rewards, if it runs away, I will be very gentle to hold it back. Then use your hands to massage the body, ease its tense atmosphere, give food rewards, let it feel that as long as I am here, you give me a massage to eat, association will make the dog super cooperative, in this process, I will gradually increase the hair dryer gear, the little guy will be a little afraid, but I will reward it with food and gently touch the head, mouth said not afraid, immediately. Although I do not know whether it can understand, but it can feel my tone, become very good oh!
Start showering -- get ready.
With the above three familiar training, bathing becomes very simple, whether it is the environment, water sound, hair dryer, there is no panic for it, the rest is to bathe coherently.

Bathing advice
Xiaohua Ma Ma has something to say.
In fact, dogs are like children, many times to guide, do not be impatient to start, to be patient, guide over and over again, as if children just know the world, when it learns, you will find that in fact, whether bathing or doing other things, will become very smooth and relaxed ~
