sorry for the delay in replying, we have had a few issues with messages. we had to earn their trust that we were going to do what we said we would. reward him with a long walk and a treat after every bath.and before bathing him have his leash alongside his bath. every individual has a right to his/her own opinion. to put an example budget we get given regularly into context. if they are not comfortable, he absolutely will not wear them. in fact, he is so kind-hearted that i cannot think how all that unfortunate story about your mother ever came about.
