I fill up the tub and then put him in.
Not that I know of...
No, when it rains here, it rains heavily and neither of us like to go out and get soaked.
After I fill up the tub, I try to talk him into getting in, when that doesn't work I pick him up and step in the water with him then sit down in the tub and let his feet get wet until he calms down slightly then I start using my hands to bring water over his back, once he's wet I shampoo him up and then use a cup to get clean water out of the tap to rinse him.
Of course theirs always his wild fighting to get out of the tub or climb up my body to get away from the water. Or he'll claw whatever clothes im wearing to try and get away.

Ok.
Put him in the tub first, Try and make it fun and exiting! Maybe give him a treat try and make him jump into the tub for the treat, If the treat doesnt work, You get into the tub and take him with you. Sit on the edge and turn on the water slowly, Not to much to scare him.
Also, When the tub is full (Can turn the water on more) get only his paws wet first, Then legs. Then start getting his butt/tail area. Then his back then shoulders, Make your way up. The whole time talk to him happy and exited and stroke his head or neck.
Sometimes, With dogs who dont like baths, Let there head rest on your leg while you was them
