jacqui835 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Unfortunately our dog managed to get himself absolutely filthy today - it was almost impressive really... But anyway, we rushed him home and threw him straight into the shower (him and the bf actually lol) and 10mins later he was looking his beautiful self again. As soon as he was done though, he went absolutely ballistic and took off at full speed around the house. It was quite a sight to behold - typically we wash him away from home because he's really too large to fit in the shower so I haven't seen him do this in our home since he was about 5 months old. Dan was asking me why he seems to go so crazy, and I just had no idea but I remember that all of my dogs have been the same. Does anyone know why they do it?

RubyStar Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Maybe they're going "ahhh, that feels better!!" My dogs do the same, especially Millie. She tears off in crazy mode so now I wash them both in the bathroom (one at a time) in the enclosed shower, and I dried Millie in there too, then left her in the bathroom with the door closed for another 5 minutes to calm down a bit before I let her into the rest of the house. Seemed to do the trick!! When I used to bath the dogs in the backyard in the clam shell pool, they'd take off and run in the dirt while still wet! Love the shower solution now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay. Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I don't know, but it's pretty funny! Jess will go insane... extreme zoomies! But then Bailey will just try and roll in anything he can find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have a very large bruise coming up on my below/ back of arm from post bath zoomies - I did not move quick enough and got clobbered by 65kg of dog as he raced around the corner of the house I have nice grassy lawns except at the ends of the race track and at the corner of the house...

Clyde Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) It's something to do with the shrinking or expanding of the follicles. Edited April 10, 2011 by Clyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Don't know why, but it's pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui835 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Don't know why, but it's pretty funny. It is, but it's just such a bizarre reaction. I was thinking maybe they worry that they're going to drown or something, and then celebrate being alive? lol I really have no idea hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsrawesome Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I think its hilarious to see my little dogs do it but id imagine it would be quiet scarey with a larger dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danois Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) This is identical to what he does post bath...except he stops midway to dive into the towel I am holding, gets a scrub dry and then takes off again!

Skitch Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 No idea here, either.. but both of mine do it too! Zoomies all over the house and backyard for atleast 30 mins afterward.. very odd Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy82 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 My dogs do it too, and my puppy also does if he gets wet in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrietta Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I always thought it was to release the stress/tension of having a bath? But I really have no idea. My dogs are well behaved and calm for baths, but they just tolerate it - it's not their favourite activity. Mine carry on like pork chops after a bath too. And then they settle down for a nice groom.

minxy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I like to think that Kyojin does it because he's just sooo excited about smelling wonderful and being so clean that he'll stay really, really clean for me this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W Sibs Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Emmy does this too!! Completely goes insane.. I think Emmy does it because she's not use of standing still for more than 2 minutes and she is enjoying and celebrating her freedom Charlie usually goes to his bed after a bath.

Gamby Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yep, my two do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leelaa17 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Max and Jen do the same thing. Except when I try to dry them (both of them but at separate times) they roll themselves up in the towel and try to steal the towel away from me. very cute!
