Answer 1

You can't. Some dogs just don't like water. If he doesn't like it, don't encourage him to get in to much. Definitly do not shove or push him into water.

Rather than bathing him, try to rinse him off in the yard with some warm water or even a garden hose.

Answer 2

Answer 3

How DO You Type Like That..can you retype it without all teh funny letters, so it can be read?

Answer 4

I love pomeranians so cute! Mine is white, and he doesn't like water either, so first introduce him to water a drop at a time and on yourself too, let him watch so he knows its ok. He'll be fine. Xoxoxoxo!

Answer 5

For dogs, its not the water as much as it is the confinement in a tub. They don't really know what you are doing to them. Cats opinion is that they are perfectly able to bathe themselves no water necessary.
