If there’s one thing pet parents can agree on, it’s that bath time can be unpredictable. While some fur babies love to soak and splash in the water, others would do anything to avoid sitting in the tub. Though when it’s the first time you’re giving your pet a bath, you really don’t know what to expect. You can only hope it goes like it did for one Bernese Mountain Puppy on TikTok who just had their first bath. Talk about cuteness overload!
@alpenspiritbmd shared this pup’s bath adventure, and viewers can’t stop watching. In fact, the video has already received 8.6M views and 1.4M likes in a few days. It’s no wonder why. As the post caption states, “First baths shouldn’t be traumatizing. Please choose your groomers carefully.” And this video is a great example of that. The way this pup is catered to is how every dog should be treated, but go ahead and judge for yourself.
He really is the best puppy! And he’s so brave, too. In the video, this little pup stays so calm as the person grooming him gives him his first bath. She’s gentle with him, talking him through what’s going on. She also gives this Bernese Mountain dog positive reinforcement, calling him a “good boy” and the “best boy.” It’s obvious that the dog trusts her as he snuggles up to her when being dried off.

Finding the right groomer really can make a difference when it comes to grooming sessions. Every dog should have this type of bath experience!
