How to bathe a border collie dog at home

1. Prepare relevant bathing tools before taking a bath, such as bath tub, hair dryer, towel, comb, shower gel, etc.

2. Before taking a bath, you should also interact with the dog to relax its nervous and repulsive mood. At the same time, you need to comb its hair. After the hair is combed smoothly and the dog is emotionally stable, start taking a bath.

3. The water temperature of the bath should generally be consistent with the body temperature of the border herd. Before taking a bath, you can let the dog put its paws in the water to feel the temperature of the water. If the dog does not reject it, you can start taking a formal bath.

4. Wet the body of the border collie with clean water, then apply shower gel, and gently rub the body of the dog with both hands to clean the dirt and dust on the hair. The rubbing action should be slow and gentle, and you need to be careful during the rubbing process, especially when cleaning the limbs, abdomen, and buttocks.

5. After rubbing, wash the dog's body with clean water to clean the foam on its body. Then wipe the water droplets on the hair with a towel, and finally dry the hair thoroughly with a hair dryer.

Precautions for bathing border collie dogs

1. Bathing tools must be prepared in advance to avoid confusion during the bathing process.

2. Before taking a bath, you should appease the dog's emotions so that the dog does not reject the bath. Comb your hair well to prevent tangles during the bath.

3. Pay attention to the dog's water temperature, don't be too cold or too hot. During the bathing process, don't suddenly rush at the dog, but give the dog a buffering process.

After the body is wet, rub the dog with a pet-specific body wash. When rinsing off the body wash, hold down the dog's ear to prevent water from entering the ear canal.

5. After bathing, dry the dog's hair and then dry it thoroughly with a hair dryer to prevent the dog from catching a cold.
