When you get a new puppy they will get messy and get dirty and start to stink. But sometimes its a pain and you don't exactly want to do it but you still have to bathe them. Dogs skin can be very sensitive to some soaps. Hershey's skin was extremely sensitive to any dog shampoo I used so I learned that it is best to not use dog shampoo at all. I used my shampoo and it was fine and I advise to use your shampoo or consult a pet groomer and see what they use or advise.
When I bathe Hershey I used to use a washcloth and I learned that it is best not to because if you use a washcloth you cant exactly get in those hard to reach places and you cant get all up in their fur and really wash it and scrub it. But with your hands its just like washing your own hair. But with your dogs make sure you get in their fur and try to loosen up any knots in their hair. Also when you bathe them make sure you get all of the soap out of their hair because if you don't it will make their skin break out and get a rash and be very painful.
Also when you get to drying them you need to be careful because smaller puppies are tiny and frail and so you don't need to be rough with the drying. Before I got Hershey I had a dog named Prince and I used to dry him with the hair dryer on low and cool and it broke out his skin and then I started drying him with a towel and it worked better. So I advise to use a towel to dry your dog after a bath.
And after bath time it is a good idea to spray or use the drop packets of flea and tick repellent. You need to make sure that you do that because it could really help your dog not be bit by the little buggers.
ANd that is my advice on how to bathe your new puppy.
