Tub Training for Grooming, Part 2

This is the final step. I filmed the entire process just stopping to change to a better view. This entire process took less than 5 minutes!
Note: This is the third bath we've used this technique to slowly introduce her into going into the tub on her own. The first time we did this took about 10-15 minutes.
******************************
How do you get a Bernese Mountain Dog who doesn't like baths to get into a tub without force? Like this.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
I used principles that trainers use to train agility dogs to go over an A-frame and applied it to my grooming!
Important Rules:
1. Do NOT move the target once you put it out.
2. Start easy and low, build at their pace.
3. ALWAYS send the dog back down instead of over.
4. Have high value treats that you know that dog likes.
(In the video you will notice I switched treats--- this girl loves biscuits over anything fresh or smelly!)
