Puppies shouldn't be bathed for at least 8 weeks or more. If you need to bath them because they have feces on them then bath them as you would a baby. Put them in the kitchen sink with a rubber mat on the bottom or at least a towel (so they won't slip) and use cups of tepid water from the other side of the sink (not the spray on your sink or loud running water or it will frighten the pup.) Keep telling the puppy they are a good boy/girl. Then rinse the puppy well and use a thick towel, being sure the pup does not get chilled. Get another thick dry towel and keep the pup close to you for body head until they are completely dry. Oatmeal shampoo is the best and great for a dog's skin and always rinsing well with tepid water (skin temp) will keep your dog clean. However, during the winter months a person shouldn't bath their dog more than 3 times during the winter month and if paws are muddy or the under-belly then put into the bath (tepid water) and just clean the messy spots. Dogs need the oil in their skin during the winter months. During the summer you can bath them once every month but only if they smell or are dirty.
