1 year between bath's, muzzle him to clip nails. WHOA that set off every bell and whistle in the book. was he trying to bite you?
If you cant pick him up and PLACE him in the tub then you guys have some SERIOUS work to do. i'm sorry to be frank but you haven't worked with him enough.
you should have him so socialized to you that he will let you do almost anything with him (IE touching ears, feet, anus if you have too,) my puppy is still not completely able to make it 8 hours at a time in his crate (while at work) so every once in a while he has an accident and i have to give him another bath. first week it was almost daily, now it's much less frequent. but we're still working on it. My older female doesn't worry about anything i do i just tell her to play dead and grab a foot and start clipping. Sshe doesnt like bath time but i put her in there and she takes it she might start to climb out covered in suds but i tell her no and she stays.
this is good animal husbandry and assist's with vet visits.
