Teaching “Take a Bath?!”

I'm raising Caysun for Service Dogs of Virginia. I'm supposed to fill out a weekly progress sheet to document her progress on the many measures of success. I fell behind over the holidays. (Ok, I really fell behind at about Halloween, but that's a holiday. Right?)

So I'm filling in all the blanks about what she's seen, where she's been, what she's done, when along comes a question that threw me for a loop: How does your pup react to a bath?

A bath? BATH?!

"She's a Labrador, she loves the water" is my first response. Yes, she does like the water. But how does she like a B-A-T-H? Uh. Well. She's never really had a bath, you see…

So, guess what we're working on this upcoming week. Bathtime for Caysun. Video to come…
