Step 1:
- Place the machine in a room where you plan to bathe your dog
- With the machine turned off, allow your dog to become familiar with it
- Have your dog walk over to the machine and use the spray nozzle as a “comb” to brush your dog
- Praise your dog and offer a treat
Step 2:
- With your dog out of the room, turn the machine on
- Leave the machine on and offer your dog a treat
- Turn the machine off
- Repeat the last two parts of Step 1
Step 3:
- Turn the machine on and have your dog enter the room, give the dog a treat
- With the machine on, and without pulling the trigger to release water, “comb” your dog’s fur with the bathing tool
- Turn the machine off and offer a treat
Step 4:
- Turn the machine on and have your dog enter the room
- Comb a small section of your dog’s fur with the machine on and pull the trigger in quick, short bursts to acclimate your dog to feeling the shampoo on their skin
- Once your dog is comfortable with the machine, you’re now ready to enjoy bathing your dog with BARKBATH
