re: Why do my dogs hate being bathed...?

My lab will swim all day long, find the biggest mud puddle to jump in and then roll in it and his favorite thing is it to run full speed through shallow water.

However, if a single drop of rain falls from the sky and hits him in the back yard he will yelp like he is being beaten with a chain. He has knocked the gate down twice this year.

Also, he will hide when it is bath time. Once you get a hold of him through, he will stay put and seems to enjoy it.
