How to Give Your Dog a Bath By Callie Darroch
Chores, Chores, Chores… • By a show of hands, who here has to do chores at home? • What is your least favorite chore? (Please raise hand) • What if we can turn boring chores into lots of fun?! • I’m going to teach you how to give your dog a bath so you’ll never have to vacuum or do the dishes again!
“How often should I bathe my dog?” • How frequently you bathe your dog depends on: -how much time the dog spends outdoors -the dog’s age -any existing medical conditions
Materials • Shampoo: The shampoo you use should be a veterinarian-approved dog shampoo. DO NOT use human products!
Materials • Washcloth or sponge • Towels- size depends on size of dog • Brush and comb for his or her coat • Cotton balls • A Warm, draft-free area (no cold air) • Bath tub or large bucket (depends on size of dog)

Social Constructivism • I’m constructing my own knowledge through my own experiences. • In order to learn this way, individuals engage socially in talk & activity about shared problems or tasks. • Promotes a student’s free exploration within a given framework or structure. • I’m telling the students the steps and process of bathing a dog, while also giving room for the students to learn for themselves. (If they choose to take this knowledge with them and apply it.)
Operant Conditioning (Behaviorism) • Changes in a student’s behavior, such as learning how to properly bathe a dog, are the result of a students response to events such as viewing the instructional video and learning the procedures. • A response could be ability to bathe a dog and thus become more self-sufficient with chores, tasks, etc, involving giving a dog a bath. • Specifically in household chores, a reinforcer could be paid allowance or some sort of tangible/intangible reward, which will then increase the students response and heighten their personal feelings about accomplishing this activity.
