Unless its hot- then outside with the hose and that just becomes a game :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234731 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 20:12:52 +0000 lemondrop 234731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tub with the hand-held shower head too. I'd be afraid of washing him outside and having him go roll in the dirt right after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234730 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 20:08:32 +0000 lavender 234730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wash him in our bathtub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234607 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:08:47 +0000 chopsuey 234607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to wash him in our bathtub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234606 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:08:15 +0000 StrawberryBee 234606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the only full bathroom we have in the house ;). With a handheld shower. It's easier on my back for me to sit outside the tub and wash them off than it is to bend over them outside (plus outside + hose = mud, which kind of defeats the purpose of giving them a bath). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234486 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:31:30 +0000 prettylizy 234486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we wash them, it's in the tub, but mostly at the groomers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234478 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:26:30 +0000 photojane 234478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we wash our little buddy in the tub. it never occurred to me that it was gross. but, i mean, we let him lick our faces and he sleeps on my pillow, so we don't have boundaries. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234475 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:24:35 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 234475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Outside unless it's cold, and then we try to wash them in our garden tub. (They're both about 100 lbs, so it's quite a bit of work to get them in and out of a tub) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234462 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:17:49 +0000 dagret 234462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our tub. She'd be a crazy dog if we tried to bathe her outside! Plus, the water out of the hose is freezing. </p> <p>I do wish we had a utility tub though - that's where we bathed our dog growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234445 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:07:48 +0000 ladyfingers 234445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our bathtub. I can only imagine the kind of debacle that would occur if we tried to bathe her outside... too many places to run to, and we would get sopping wet if we tried to restrain her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234432 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:55:55 +0000 serendipity 234432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bathe my dog in the bathtub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234413 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:41:48 +0000 LittleFox 234413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take ours to an inexpensive self-serve dog wash. He's a large dog who sheds a lot and it takes a very long time to clean his fur out of the bathroom if he's bathed in there (it gets on the shower curtain, floor, ceiling, toilet, various accessories kept in the room-- you name it and it gets wet fur on it when he shakes), so it's nice to let someplace else get furry. We also have an apartment, so outside isn't an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234390 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:09:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 234390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the shower with us. They behave better that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234371 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:55:26 +0000 purrpletulips 234371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to take our dog to the groomer, a 130lb Newfie does not fit well in a standard bathtub nor does the drain work after she's been bathed due to all the hair washing down.</p> <p>@JHoller25: my old cat used to sit on my stomach while I was taking a bath and drink the warm bath water, grossed me out but it was his way of "bonding" with me. If I moved and he got wet he'd move to the edge of the tub and just put his paws on my stomach for balance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234366 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:54:26 +0000 chibee 234366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pop them in the kitchen sink! haha there are some perks to having little dogs. plus it's much easier for me since they are level with me while I'm washing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234352 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:45:06 +0000 ShootingStar 234352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to wash her in the bathtub and then clean it after, but we realized it's a lot easier in the kitchen sink. My mom does this with their 10 pound puppy as well. </p> <p>Personally, I don't see anything gross about using the tub, especially if you spray it with some cleaner and wipe it down after. And it would be way too much of a hassle to try to clean her outside. I live in the northeast and the climate doesn't really lend itself to only washing dogs outside. Especially since the outside water gets turned off for a huge chunk of the year so that the pipes don't freeze. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234268 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:07:45 +0000 jennylynn 234268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wash her outside if it's warm out (because she's huge and it's way easier). Otherwise, we wash her in the bathtub, which usually takes both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234232 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:52:01 +0000 Alivoo01 234232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234180 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:35:26 +0000 LindsayInNY 234180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pug and bathe him in our bathtub. I wear a shirt and bathing suit bottom and sit in the tub with him to make it easier, LOL. We don't have a hose for the shower head so I fill a cup with water to rinse him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234171 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:32:30 +0000 mrsjyw 234171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bath tub in our bathroom~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234169 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:31:18 +0000 Meridian 234169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the second bathroom! We think it's so adorable when she's still wet and without her collar... we call her "naked dog" (not like a collar makes much difference, haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234123 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:18:39 +0000 MamaMoose 234123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the season. If it's warm outside we wash him out there. But when it's cold I'm not going to make the poor pup get washed outside! So we do it in the guest bath tub with a handheld showerhead. We have a bulldog he weighs 55lbs but he's short and stocky so he fits in the tub no problem and doesn't make a mess. We just immediately clean the shower (also the handheld shower head and cleaning solution) as soon as we are done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234122 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:18:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 234122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nola first gets a soak at the dog pool across the street to rinse off the super gross stuff then gets a bath in our tub with a hand held showerhead. She gets really dirty about once a week and gets a bath once a week so now she is super easy to wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234120 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:17:32 +0000 edelweiss 234120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we wash them in the shower/tub. we live in an apartment and washing outside isn't an option. even if it was an option i think i'd still do it in the shower/tub. you can't really control the temperature of the water in an outside hose (or maybe you can, shows you how much i know), and it would be so cold in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234119 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:17:32 +0000 MrsTiz 234119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually in the guest bathroom tub. I live in an apartment (for another month or so) so we can't wash her outside, and even when we move into our house I know we'll wash her indoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234116 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:15:46 +0000 doodlepoodle 234116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just take a shower and have the dogs hop in with us, so I'm sure your MIL would be disgusted by us! ;-) It's just easier for us to do that, we just wash them then we take our shower afterward. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234099 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:08:22 +0000 autumnlove 234099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234089 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:06:01 +0000 DillonLion 234089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a shower with a glass door so we bathe him in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234086 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:05:33 +0000 PrincessBaby 234086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually in the guest spare bathroom tub, right before the cleaning service comes to scrub it...Terrible I know!</p> <p>The past two times DH was playing chase with him (he's a chihuahua) while I was in the bathtub and he jumped over the side of the tub and divebombed me so I would "save" him from DH, so as gross as it sounds, we took a bath together- not by my choice! But I went ahead and finished the job... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-wash-your-dog#post-234075 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:01:17 +0000 Charm54 234075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wash ours in our shower/tub. My dog runs and jumps in the bathtub any time he gets remotely dirty (dog park, beach).....it was cute the first few times but now it's just annoying - lol! </p>
