My little dude is perfectly calm in the tub… So long as I get in with him.
I wish mine had a bar like that I could leash them to. My husky is too big to be in the tub with and she doesn’t like baths either (despite loving water literally any other time 😔).
You could try something like this. I haven’t used those but the bar does help a bunch. That, plus one hand constantly on their heads to keep them from shaking the soapy water off before it’s time made a big difference. And lots of treats to expect afterwards. My dogs are fine once they’re in there and wet, they just want to do everything possible to avoid it beforehand – and who can blame them.
