Dog Bath

Good morning, I am Rylan Abel. I have been helping dogs stay

clean and smelling fresh after getting dirty outside. I have helped many dogs clean up and look fresh while also smelling fresh. Today I am going to show you in 7 steps how to easily clean and freshen your pooch, mastering the clean technique.

You will need to gather the following supplies:

· Dog

· Dog Shampoo

· A Small Bucket or a Plastic Cup

· A Towel

· Dog Brush

I like to use “ARM and HAMMER Super Deodorizing Shampoo for Pets”. Any plain, clean towel will work because you will only need it to dry your dog off after their bath. You can use any brush or comb for your dog for their fur, but I find it easier to use a brush. Lastly, using a small bucket or a plastic cup is really nice for simply rinsing your pooch.

After gathering all of the necessary supplies, you will go

to the bathroom and drop the plug in the drain of your tub. You will have to fill the tub halfway up with lukewarm water. A simple trick for water temperature is to stick your forearm under the faucet and if it is too cold or hot on your arm, it is too cold or hot for your dog.

Next, take your dog and place him or her in the tub, but

make sure you take their collar off first and place it on the counter, so it does not get lost. You will then take the small bucket or plastic cup and dunk it in the water and dump the water on your dog’s back side and get them all wet. A simple trick for rinsing their head is to take a free hand and cover their eyes so no loose dirt particles or water get in them.

After your dog is nice and soaking wet, and probably shaking

the water everywhere, you will grab your pet shampoo. Just like if you were going to wash your hair, squeeze shampoo into the palm of your hand about the size of a half dollar. You will then rub the shampoo into your dogs’ fur on their back, neck, tail, legs, belly, chest, and their head. You can use as much shampoo needed to suds up your dog.

Now with your dog all soaped up you will take your small

bucket or plastic cup and repeat step 3. You will rinse the dog of all the soap and make sure you use the easy trick of covering their eyes when rinsing their head, so no soap gets in their eyes. You may have to repeat the rinse a couple of times to get all the soap out of their fur. You want to make sure you get all the soap off or it will dry their skin and fur out.

With your dog now rinsed of all soap you can pull the plug

in the tub and let all the water drain. With all the water in the tub drained, you can now take your towel and dry your dog off by rubbing the towel all over them, like if you were drying your own hair or rubbing a balloon on you head. You can finally let your dog out of the tub, but not out of the bathroom quite yet. You do not want to let them out of the bathroom, simply because they will probably try to keep shaking and getting water and loose hair all over the place. By keeping them in the bathroom, the mess is contained to only one room rather than the whole house.

Lastly you will use your comb or brush to brush them. It

will be just like brushing your own hair, you will pull the brush along with the way the fur falls. Brush their neck, back, tail, legs, chest, and belly. You can now put the dog’s collar back on and let them out of the bathroom to continue on with their doggy day.
