* Most dogs are happy to be bathed as long as it is done with care. There are some that react badly to the shower so do not keep the pressure too high. Bathing can be done as often as you like provided a good-quality shampoo is used to replenish the natural oils. When bathing a dog always work to a routine to ensure that the job is done thoroughly. 

* Check the water temperature on the inside of your wrist to make sure it is at the body temperature. 

* Prepare the shampoo. 

* Place the dog in the bath (ensure safety by using a rubber mat in the bottom of 
the bath and a bath fastener). 

* Wet the dog thoroughly, keeping the shower head close to the body, starting 
behind the shoulders and working back over the body, down the legs and tail and then finally the head. This method will help with dogs that are nervous because you are not alarming them by going straight around the eyes and ears. Work the water through the coat to ensure total saturation. Take care not to let the water go into the ears or nose. Water in the ear canal can cause irritation. 
 

• Apply shampoo using a sponge as this creates a better lather – the lather shows that the shampoo is working. Begin shampooing at the tail.

• Shampoo the body and undercarriage, the front legs, feet, shoulders and chest and then finally apply the shampoo carefully to the head. Cover the eyes to ensure that no shampoo goes in.


* Rinse the dog from head to tail using your hand to push the suds and water through the coat. It is usually necessary to shampoo a dog twice to ensure that the coat is thoroughly cleaned
* Apply shampoo again in the same way as described above. 

* Rinse thoroughly,l

* Apply conditioner to the coat if appropriate. 

* Rinse thoroughly. 

* Squeeze the excess water from the coat with your hands or use a moisture 
absorbent cloth. 

* Towel dry the dog.
* And that's how its done
