I try to give Jack a bath once a week because family pets him a whole bunch, so he will get oils on his fur. Last week I gave him a bath, then... just what I wanted, I gave him a bath a week later!
This time I purposely put a floaty thing in the bathtub, which was a piece of a paper towel tube that I saved just for the occasion. (He riped it up for the fun of it.) I told Jack to get in the tub I few times, when without pushing him...he got in the tub! I praised him and praised him.
To make his hair REALLY smooth and soft, I use my hair conditioner on him.
I'm sure that every one tries to make their dog go into the tub for a bath, maybe this might help, try finding what YOU know that they like and will go after, maybe a ball or a floaty thing (a feather for bird dogs) maybe bribe them to get in the tub with a piece of food or cookie.
I hope this will help all of you clean dog lovers.
