Put it in your bath tub or something similar and have water that is not too hot or too cold and use specially formulated dog shampoos.

You can also give ur dog a dog treat afterwards. They might enjoy the bath more.

Remember: NEVER use human shampoo!!! Its too strong for dogs. And dont scare ur dog w/ a hose, too.

You have to first buy dog shampoo, and for some people, dog conditioner.

The temperature of the water should be warm. Not too hot, and not too cold.

You put the shampoo on the dog's fur after it is wet.

You wash it properly, like you would wash your own hair. Then rinse with the warm water. You can do the same with the conditioner.

You clean a dog thoroughly and you clean him once every two weeks.

Edit: One great tip I picked-up from our master trainer is that you clean pups, "when they stink". However often, and use a doggie shampoo matched to their PH -- it's different than humans.

I don't know of a dog that routinely needs bathing every two weeks -- you can do it but you're going to need also to treat them for dry skin to keep them healthy.

Groom adults as needed: Fully brushed out, nails dremmeled, dandy brushed, etc. according to how much work they're doing. If they're dirty, bathe them. You can get a quick estimate by smoothly petting -- full front to back (your nails down) and looking at your own nails. If they're dirty, the dog needs a bath.

Our kennels' tracking dogs (for finding lost kids) get bathed nearly every time we've got them in the field. My War Dog is okay for about 6 weeks w/o a bath although the above mentioned other grooming is done weekly.

If you have working dogs, keep them treated with anti-flea/tick (I've no association with them, but buying a years supply of Front-Line is much less expensive (per dose) than monthly or quarterly doses -- it works). Press your Vet. If you've a good one, he won't like the answer, but it's available w/o an Rx over the net as opposed to what he's carrying.

Regardless, press your Vet about heartworm treatment and dosing. It can be done for 30-50 cents a month rather than $150 a year for an 80-100 pound dog on heartgard. They won't like it, but it's exactly the same drug. There are also generics as low as $5 a month if you have one or a few dogs.
