As everyone in here has said, never force your puppy to do something they dont want to do. With that said, while I am not dog training expert, we have gotten our dog to do pretty much everything with positive reinfocement.
For example she used to HATE taking baths/showers, and would fight us to not do it (never biting or anything, just making us hunt her down and carry her in =(. Anyway, we got a water bottle and took her outside and played with her a bit, when she needed a drink, we would cup our hands and put some water in it so she could drink. When she was finishing up, we would have her sit and tell her she was a good girl while we would pet her with wet hands. Slowly it got to the point where we were pouring water on her from the bottle while she sat and we would pet and priase her.
Now, while its not her favorite thing in the world, we dont have to hunt her down to take a shower anymore. =)
