Aww! It's great that your getting them use to baths young.
Apparently the breeder I got my pup from had too many pups because of one of the mothers giving birth to early, and so my pup didnt have a bath until he was 6 weeks old. Now that he's like 8 months old, he's a monster to bathe because he wasnt exposed to it early enough.

We also expose are dogs to water, So they dont end up hating it. Bernie had her first bath when she was 4 weeks, But then she loves water and sometimes I cant keep her out of it!
But Bernie has always love water, But Jake on the other hand...Runs and hides xD
I also know how to groomer/bather, So I know how to handle the dogs who dont like the water.

I wish my breeder had done that, my boy is extremely hard to bathe. I mean he clings to me like a monkey when I try to set him in the tub and trys to tackle me to get out of it. I dont think we have ever had a dog that liked water, the only one that would even tolerate it was a boxer we use to have.

I had a dog who did that, But there are many tricks to changing it!
I can help with some tips if ya answer these questions!?!
Do you fill the water up before you get him in there?
Has he ever had his head soaked when he was young? Or maybe some tragic thing happen?
Do you ever play in the water outside with him, Or in the rain?
How do you bath him?
