I use the shower in the bath :D A lot of people will use the kitchen sink but I prefer the bath with slip mats. It's easier to control the water temperature & the water :D Mine are trained to shake when I pull the shower curtain across stops me getting wet too

I use dog shampoo diluted as per instructions & a leave in conditioner. It is very important to get all the shampoo out.

I also treated them to a Canac dog bag each. This is a towelling bag with a zip that I pop them into to take off most of the moisture & it also stops them messing about when puppies whilst I dry their ears

I have a "blaster"rather than a hair dryer as I found the dryer made the coats too dry & when you have 4 just holding the dryer is a problem

When the ears are done I take them out of the bag & dry the rest of them Takes about 3/4 hour of dirty to ready to show-a lot easier than doing a brown beardie which was my first long coated dog

I also trim the pads & feet whilst they are still damp

When they are almost dry I pop on their Drycoats to keep the coat flat as I only usually do a full bath if they are going to a show. The drycoat stops their fur sticking up-caused by them lying on their backs asleep LOL

They don't stay very clean for long tho' but I don't mind them not being in show mode all the time
