My puppy is terrified of baths. How can I make bath time fun?

Question

Hi what is a good way to get my puppy to enjoy bath time? He's terrified of it and even if I turn the hose on outside to water the grass he will start peeing everywhere just at the sound of it turning on. Pet's info: Dog | Wheaten Terrier | Male | unneutered | 15 lbs

The trick that worked best for my dog, which was absolutely terrified of the tub to the point where he would dig his claws into my arm and try to climb over me, was to smear peanut butter all over the sides of the tub. It worked like a charm for him and I've recommended this trick to several other owners of dogs that do the same thing and they all seemed to have nothing but positive results. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
