Simple, Clever Object That Makes Washing Dogs Easy
It's called Bath Buddy and I feel like an idiot for not thinking of this
The sequence of my thought process when seeing this object:
1. This seems silly
2. Oh wait a sec, this would be very useful
3. WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS
The Bath Buddy is a simple, inexpensive object designed to make bathing your dog easy. (I don't know about you and your pooches, but washing mine is like losing a jiujitsu match to a dog while someone sprays you with a hose.)
While that's a Kickstarter vid, the campaign is closed as it's already been successfully crowdfunded. My hat's off to inventors Megan and Rob Hoover, who have perfectly harnessed the properties of silicone to create a useful object.

Hmm... Why couldn't the article mention what this thing is? Neither the text nor the images hint of the function of the object, just the form. To understand what it was I had to look at a campaign video, something that could have been summarized with a few words (not eating into my mobile bandwidth allotment): "With the suction cup it hygienically holds peanut butter or some other sticky treat for your dog on the bathroom wall, making washing more more enjoyable for your four-legged friend".
That way the article becomes little less click-baity link sharing.
PS. I feel sorry for you who have this trouble. My old dog hated being showered in the beginning, until he realized that rinsing off mud/snow with warm water and even getting the hair dryer treatment felt really nice afterwards. Then he started running into the bathroom all by himself after every walk outside. Once he even stood there for half an hour waiting while the rest of a hungry family rushed into the kitchen for a late dinner after a long walk. When we saw that we didn't have a dog eating the scraps falling from the table we found him still standing in the bathtub and felt sorry for him being so good. But don't worry, he got extra treats for being patient with us.
Dang it that's clever.
