Well, stupid question. My dog rolled around in something awful, and hes really stinking up the place, So, Im about to give 'em a little bath. Only problem, hes a squirmy little bastard and will refuse any bribes to get NEAR the bathroom. That, and I haven't really given him a good bath since he was 2 (Hes 10 now)Any tips on how I can make this fairly pleasant for both of us?

Well your best bet is to just drag im into the bathtub, tie his leesh to that soap thingie in the wall or whatever is handy, and force a bath on him, giving him treats and whatnot to make the experience as plesant as possible.

But, if you want the slow, happy way:
first teather him to the bathroom, but go nuts and feed him treats and all that. Do that for a few minutes everyday, until he isn't afraid to go into the bathroom anymore adn even look forward to it. Try to get him to say ther longer and longer each time.
Then, when/if he is comfortable with that start with some water (warm, pleasant water!) like pouring a few cups on his body, then giving him treats and praise and junk right after. Keep doing this while increasing the amount of water and pretty soon you'll have a dog that loves bathtime and will annoyingly paw at the door whenever you are in there while running the bath water.

If you have access to a garden hose, I suggest you tie him up on a relatively short leash, hose him off with a gentle spray and then use diluted (with warm water) dog shampoo - do not apply shampoo undiluted to skin. If you only have human shampoo, mix in some conditioner. Turn on the water very slowly so he doesn't get scared and start at the back. You can use a few warm buckets of water instead of the hose - just make sure you tie him up. Keep giving treats to steer his focus away from being (tortured) bathed.

Its not that hes afraid of the bathroom, its just, he picks up on intentions rather quickly. He LOVES car rides, however, when I take him to the vet, he absolutely refuses to get in the car.

Anyway, I went with the treat idea (Best part about a deli job, No shortage of salami.) That finally got him in the room. I used the tiniest bit of human shampoo, and just kinda scrubbed him up a bit. Unfortunately, he still kinda smells (Though, that MIGHT be wet dog smell. Still not as bad)so I might go and get some dog shampoo after work tomorrow and try again.

that's the best idea, or get some baby shampoo failing that. It sounds like your dog just needs a good fullon scrubdown. Whenever any of my dogs get's skunked, or rolls in shit, I usually just take em to a groomer. It's a lot easier for me than trying to wash a rough collie in a tiny bathroom while drownign in skunk musk:)

Don't let your dog on the internet, you never know what they'll get in to. I had to bathe mine when she got sprayed by a skunk. Her neck is bigger than her head, it's impossible to leash her. I had to hold her down outside and bathe her. I put on a shirt that could be thrown away and a swimsuit. She freaks out and gets excited over a dog biscuit, though, so it wasn't too traumatizing as long as she got one afterwards.

poor, poor anonymous...
at least you learned to sage!
I have 3 bathrooms, we use the third one to clean really dirty things (aquariums, doormats, etc.) so we use it to bathe our dog, so yeah, I guess it's his bathroom.
So, yes, -I- have a bathroom for my dog.
maybe one day, YOU can afford a dog and maybe a bathroom for it too!

Now, did you know you can clean your bathroom? Because, you know, I think your dog won't make your bathroom much more dirty than people. Since you wash away all the dirt, I don't get why you find it dirty? Then it's also dirty when you get to take a shower after someone.

Am I right or what?

Correct. "Sage" is not a tripfag. "Sage" is an idiot who thought sage went in the name field and tried to cover for it. I am a tripfaggot (and a SECURE tripfaggot, at that).

Here is an example of using sage properly.

I've always assumed he ate disgusting things liek asparagus and lotsa read meat to make his semen taste disgusting. That or he keeps his penor unwashed, radiating stink lines, for his unlucky partner-of-the-moment's tasting and smelling pleasure.

Er, how would that make ME bitter? That might make my partners bitter. That's quite an assholish thing to do, and while I am definitely an arrogant asshole, I would not treat someone like that if I expected to put my penis in their mouth. Besides, if I were to do such things, I would find myself without any available partners. Word spreads and all that.
