A canine is only pregnant for 62 - 65 days so trying to start it yourself is a bad idea. Even if the puppies come a day or two to early the results can be devastating. Now to answer your question... I know in humans a bath can relax you and get things going if you are close to your due date. The water also stimulates the milk glands which has the effect of causing contractions. I know some women will stimulate their breasts by expressing milk every few minutes to start the labour process and I can't see how it would be any different for a dog. This is the safest way to help bring on labour. However, I don't know anyone who is so desperate that they would play with their dogs nipples to get their dog to go into labour.

What can you do to induce your dog?
Although most things you will read online or hear are just "wives's tales," and will do nothing, it is best to not even attempt to induce labor as many other factors are involved and inducing labor before conditions are idea can lead to many disastrous consequences, such as uterine prolapse.
