If you have a cat hating to get wet think of how much harder it is to give a water hating dog a bath!My puppy Yuna struggles when ever I try to get her in the tub(it's small) or wash her with the hose(the water is cold).With her being a huskey mix she will be a stubborn girl.Anyone have any thing that will help?I would be so greatful and so will Yuna.

have you tried puting her on a leash while giving her a bath? try giving a large rat terier a bath with out a leash outside.

TRY USING A LEASH AND INSTEAD OF SQUIRTING THE DOG CUP THE WATER WITH YOU HANDS AND GRADUALLY A LITTLE AT A TIME INTRODUCE THE WATER HOSE ESPECIALLY IF THEY KNOW THAT THE WATER HOSE MEANS BATH AND TRY TO COMFORT THEM WHILE YOU DOING IT BUY TALKING TO THEM BUT IF THE DOG IS BEHAVING BADLY WHILE DOING THIS DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE BAD BEHAVIOR.  ALSO EXERCISES THE DOG BEFORE THE BATH THAT WAY IT WILL BE EXHAUSTED AND NOT WANT TO PUT UP A STRUGGLE AND REWARD HER\HIM FOR NOT STRUGGLING.  BY THE WAY I'M A MILITARY DOG HANDLER AND I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS EVERY 2 WEEKS WITH ONE OF OUR DOGS.

 Your pooch may have been traumatized by being thrown into the water, or maybe it never even had a bath like ours, before we got her.  She never new what water was and of course was fearful of it ,( except for drinking.)  We had a huge long haired dachund mix.  boy, was she strong.  She  "drug" you when you tried to walk her.  Even my husband was running BEHIND her just to keep from being drug ( and he is a wrestler).  What we did to bathe her was:  First we  had three leashes and tied each one of these leashes to a railing of our porch, with the other ends attached to her collar in some way( had to slip her collar thru two of them.)  this way, she could  not move in any direction while we bathed her.  Be sure you cup the water at first, and it must have been warmed.  (we let ours get warm by the hot sun.)  Use tearless shampoo so she will not be afraid that the soap will burn her eyes.   if you have to use the hose to rinse her off, hold the tip of the hose directly against her fur, just enough so a good flow is going but she won't hear rushing water.  When you have done this, cup a clean bucket of warm  water over her until she is thoughly  "sqweeky clean".  Be sure to towel dry her off BEFORE you let her out of the tub (or let her loose from all the leashes.)  After a while of this routine, you won't have to use the leashes.    But it may take A GOOD WHILE.   hope this helps----let us know.
