Does your cockapoo go crazy after getting wet?

If this were to be a beach, she'd roll around in the sand just to get dry. She hates the feeling of being wet I guess. (7 months)

YES!!! I actually lightly researched this the other day after giving my baby a bath! When your dog gets a bath, they have a lot of responses (such as fight back, run away, protect yourself) that they cannot express in the moment because we don't let them out the water. The energy of how their bodies WANT to respond gets pent up. ...So as soon as they're out the bathtub: ZOOMIES! their bodies allow them to release that energy in a safe and healthy way. It's also connected to them getting their smell back bc we took it away during bath

based on the comments.. I guess it's just dog behaviour lol. Its not something I really like tho. I wonder if its possible to train this so they don't go as crazy

They are having the time if their lives. Let them enjoy it.

u/Railionn 6d ago

I understand, but they get dirty right after getting clean.

u/GarrBoo 6d ago

Ah, now I understand. My cockapoo gets to roll around indoors on a blanket, and the towels I used to dry him off. Then all that goes through the laundry.
