My westie hates a bath, but lets me give him a shower. I close the bathroom door to confine him. After I do that, he goes and hides behind the shower curtain. He thinks I can't see. him. All you see are those dark eyes and black nose peeking from underneath the curtain.. Just to make things easier, I do keep everything I am going to use right there. Towel, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc.. . Don't forget to reward your pet! Even keep some treats in the bathroom with you.. .
