    Is there a particular reason you want to give him a bath? Ideally, a dog shouldn't be bathed more than say 4 times a year. I think I usually do it 2 or 3 times a year. Their skin needs its natural oils. And puppies have that delightful puppy smell. So unless there's a good reason, I'd wait at least another few weeks to give him his first bath. After that, I'd wait at least 4 months to bathe him again.

    You need to get a real puppy shampoo at a good pet store. I use Espree, but I'm not sure what's available in the US. Dont' use human products. They are not suited to dog skin.
