Thread: So Walking and Bathing MC's?

It took my fiancee and I to bathe Leo, we got the water warm, put him in the tub, then put a stopper in the drain and let it start filling up a few inches. Got his coat nice and wet, applied shampoo, rinsed, dried with a towel, then introduced him to the hair dryer. He wasn't happy about the bath, but he didn't bite or use claws, basically 1 of us held him gently while the other bathed him, we switched back and forth depending on who was in the optimal position. We'll keep giving him monthly baths if needed and hopefully over time he will just accept them.

We put a harness on him so that we could open the door and see what he would do since he insists on going to the door most anytime someone is near or coming through the door. If he were to dash we wanted him on the leash. He's not used to the harness, he lays down and rolls over hoping it will disappear. We hope that putting the harness on him for a little while daily will get him used to that as well.
