- Gently Brush Your Puppy: Before getting your puppy wet, give them a gentle brush to remove any loose fur and untangle any knots. This makes the bathing process easier and more effective.
  - Be Gentle: Use a soft-bristled brush, especially if your puppy has sensitive skin or is still getting used to grooming.

- Create a Calm Environment:*Keep the atmosphere calm and soothing. Speak to your puppy in a gentle voice to keep them relaxed.
  - Temperature Check: Ensure the water is lukewarm, not too hot or cold. This will help your puppy feel more comfortable during the bath.

 - Wet Gradually: Begin by slowly wetting your puppy, starting from their feet and gradually working your way up to their body. Avoid getting water in their ears and eyes.
  - Apply Shampoo: Gently lather the shampoo all over your puppy’s body, being careful to avoid their face. Use a damp cloth to clean their face separately.

- Rinse Until Clean: Make sure to rinse out all the shampoo thoroughly. Any leftover soap can irritate your puppy's skin.
  - Check for Residue: Run your fingers through their fur to ensure all shampoo is washed out.

- Towel Dry First: Wrap your puppy in a soft towel and gently pat them dry. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can cause tangling.
  - Blow Dry on Low Heat (Optional): If your puppy is comfortable with it, you can use a blow dryer on the lowest heat setting. Keep the dryer at a distance to avoid overheating.

- Final Brush: Once your puppy is mostly dry, give them another gentle brush to smooth their coat and remove any remaining loose fur.

 - Positive Reinforcement: Give your puppy plenty of praise, treats, and affection throughout and after the grooming session to create a positive association with the experience.

- Keep It Consistent: Establish a regular grooming schedule to keep your puppy clean and comfortable. Regular baths, brushing, and nail trims help maintain their health and well-being.
