When I adopted my dog, the lady at the Humane society told me to only bathe her once a month. It can irritate or dry out the skin if the dog is bathed more than that. Also make sure you use a shampoo that is made for dog skin because human shampoo can dry out your dog's skin. I only bath my dog once a month but if she goes swimming in the swimming pool I give her a 'rinse off' shower without using actual soap. I just try to rinse off the chlorine.

bathe your puppy when it gets stinky. Don't bathe every day as this could lead to dry, irritated skin! Always use a shampoo made FOR PUPPIES as they have very delicate, sensitive skin. Remember that you should try to get your puppy used to baths and grooming while it is still an impressionable puppy. Try to brush it a few times a week, and also "practice" with it's paws. After brushing, hold each paw for a minute, adding a little time, each time. This way when he is bigger and his nails are longer, you can trim them yourself with ease.
