DRESS FOR SUCCESS!
Washing a dog is a dirty job, to protect your clothes wear
the proper attire.

HAVE MATERIALS READY
You don’t want a nervous dog in the tub longer then it has to be; Get your materials ready before the dog bath!
You will need:
-Cotton Balls
-Shampoo

Walk the dog
WALK THE DOG
You want to walk the dog before putting it in the tub because
you do not want the dog to go to the
bathroom in the tub.
STEP FOUR
Get the dog into the tub
GET THE DOG INTO THE TUB
This is a key part because it’s difficult to wash a dog if it’s not in a tub. Also, it is much easier to handle the dog in the tub, since they can’t
get away as easily.
NOTE: When getting the dog into the tub, be gentle and lift appropriately. Large dogs you may need more then
one person to lift the dog
STEP FIVE
Put cotton balls in their ears
PUT COTTON BALLS IN THEIR EARS
Put cotton balls in the dogs ear so that you
don’t get water in the ear canal
Note: Make sure you remember to take them
out after the bath!!
STEP SIX
Test the water
TEST THE WATER
The water should be around the
temperature you would shower in.
Most dogs already don’t want a bath! Don’t give them an ice bath or a
burning hot bath!
STEP SEVEN
Wet the dog
WET THE DOG
Start at the top of the dog and work your way down.
Make sure you get all the nooks and
crannies.
NOTE!!!!!!
WHEN WASHING THE HEAD
-Grab the dog under the chin
-Lift their head up
-Gently run water down the head
This prevents water from getting in their eyes.

When washing the face:

towel dry them

TABLEBe gentle but lift the dog onto
your grooming table.

It’s best if there’s a grooming noose to hold the dog
STEP FOURTEEN

Bigger dogs often need a bigger more powerful blow dryer. Little dogs prefer a
small calm blow dryer.

it’s still wet.
