Noise-Sensitive or Anxious Dog?
Some dogs are sensitive to loud noises, or are not fans of vacuums or other loud appliances. Here are some quick training tips to help your dog have a great experience with this new bathing method.
Training Steps – Phase 1
- Place the unit where you plan to bathe your dog. With the unit turned off, allow the dog to become familiar with it.
- With the unit turned off, have the dog walk over to the unit and use the spray nozzle as a “comb” to brush the dog.
- Praise your dog and offer a treat.
Place the base unit on the microfiber mat to help dampen the sound for your pet.
Phase 2
- With the dog out of the room, turn the unit on. Leave the unit on and offer your dog a treat.
- Turn the unit off.
- Repeat the last two steps of phase 1.
Lay down a separate blanket or towel in the area, placing it at least 4 feet away from the BARKBATH to help reduce sound.
Phase 3
- Turn the unit on, have your dog enter the room and give the dog a treat.
- With the unit on, and without pulling the trigger to release water, “comb” your dog’s fur with the bathing tool.
- Turn the unit off and offer a treat.
OPTIONAL: Remove the screw on the plate of the bathing tool to expose longer nozzles for use on thick or longer coated dogs.
Phase 4
- Turn the unit on and have your dog enter the room.
- Comb a small section of your dog’s fur with the unit on and pull the trigger in quick, short bursts to acclimate your pet to feeling the solution on their skin.
- Once your dog is comfortable with the unit, you’re now ready to enjoy bathing your dog with the BARKBATH.
Plug in the unit and press the power switch to ON ( | ) position.
Phase 5
Set the Rinse/Shampoo switch to the desired setting. Shampoo will dispense
shampoo and water. Rinse will dispense just
water.
Phase 6
Test the system by pointing the nozzle at the microfiber mat and pressing and
holding the spray trigger until solution
dispenses.
Phase 7
Place the spray nozzles flush against the dog’s body before pressing the spray trigger. When ready, press and hold the spray trigger to release the shampoo/water and use the nozzles to brush the bathing tool down along the fall of the dog’s fur. Release the spray trigger and use “drying strokes” to suction up moisture from the dog’s coat. Repeat as needed.
Phase 8
Spray shampoo/water on the microfiber towel and hand clean delicate areas such as the dog’s face and paws.
Phase 9
As a final step, coat should be air- or towel-dried as needed.
