Owners getting their dogs ready for bath time results in chaos more than half of the time, and a Pit Bull proved it right. In a viral Instagram video, Cali expressed, with almost no words, that she isn’t quite fond of her bath time. The dog displayed reactions so dramatic over mom calling her for a bath that it made for a funny yet adorable moment for netizens. Despite multiple tries that included lifting the canine, she didn’t budge, showcasing her immediate refusal and aversion towards what many dogs would find to be a relaxing bath time.
Instagram video shows Pit Bull refusing to take a bath
Cali the Pit Bull was silent but dramatic in her body language, just to tell her mom she didn’t want to take a bath. The owner, through the Instagram account (@calypso.the.pit), shared a clip of her trying to get her dog ready for bath time. What followed was pleading, persuasion, and clever tactics to try and get her pet bathed. However, the canine emerged as the winner, with her strength and expert tricks overpowering mom’s methods.
The video began with Cali peacefully resting in her dog bed when she sensed her mom calling her for a bath. The owner began gently, patting the Pit Bull’s head while saying, “Gotta take a bath, you’re stinky.” But all that she received was a brutal side-eye from the canine, clearly not interested in bath time. As her next step, the owner began to pull the dog’s collar, but to no avail.
Continuing her efforts to somehow get her Pit Bull a bath, the owner tried lifting Cali. However, the latter dropped back to the comfort of her dog bed. No matter how many times her mom picked her up, she continued with her strategies. Eventually, the owner almost gave up. As a last-ditch effort, the dog mom decided to offer Cali a treat. But the canine looked beyond mom’s moves and stuck to her bed.
By the end of the video, the owner pulled the dog bed itself. Cali still refused to move but looked visibly shocked by her mom’s strategic move. But the Pit Bull stuck to her instincts and stayed put. Netizens applauded her clever tactics in the comments section, some even relating to the owner’s situation. Responding to one comment, the owner revealed that she was eventually successful in her endeavor.
