Some dogs are sensitive to loud noises, or are not fans of vacuums or other loud
appliances. Here are some quick training tips to help your dog have a great experience
with this new bathing method.
Training Steps - Phase 1
-
Place the unit where you plan to bathe your dog. With the
unit turned off, allow the dog to become familiar with it.
-
With the unit turned off, have the dog walk over to the unit
and use the spray nozzle as a “comb” to brush the dog.
-
Praise your dog and offer a treat.
Phase 2
- With the dog out of the room, turn the
unit on. Leave the unit on and offer your
dog a treat.
- Turn the unit off.
- Repeat the last two steps of phase 1.
Phase 3
- Turn the unit on, have your dog enter the room and give
the dog a treat.
- With the unit on, and without pulling the trigger to
release water, “comb” your dog’s fur with the bathing tool.
- Turn the unit off and offer a treat.
Phase 4
- Turn the unit on and have your dog enter the room.
- Comb a small section of your dog’s fur with the unit on and pull the trigger
in quick, short bursts to acclimate your pet to feeling the solution on their skin.
- Once your dog is comfortable with the unit, you’re now ready to enjoy
bathing your dog with the BARKBATH.
