How to Take a Shower with Your Dog

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Dig shampoo
• Dog towels
• Shower massager

1. The best shower stall to use with your dog is one whose shower head has a handheld shower massager on an extended cord.
2. Bring your dog into the bathroom. Lay a few dog towels on the floor to protect your floor. Turn on the shower until it's hot. Undress.
3. Get in the shower, talking happily with your dog while pulling him in gently by the collar. Chances are he won't be thrilled.
4. Using the shower massager, rinse him down. If you don't have a shower massager, use a cup to fill up water.
5. Add soap, rub soap in until the dog is frothy. Avoid getting in his eyes. Rinse dog. Squeeze out excess water down his back and legs.
6. Wash yourself, especially getting all the dog hair off your arms and legs. Turn off water. Let dog out of shower, putting a towel on top of him. Dry him thoroughly. Get a towel for yourself!
