Assistant: Sure, here’s a detailed, step-by-step checklist for grooming a dog:

Make sure to provide plenty of tasty treats and water.

Brush your dog’s fur with a small rubber brush, with firm, gentle strokes.

Use a comb to brush out the dog’s fur, working through any tangles.

Apply small amounts of conditioner to the dog’s fur, and gently brush through.

Rinse out the conditioner, and repeat the combing and brushing steps.

Apply a scent-neutralizing shampoo to the dog’s fur, using a large soft sponge.

Rinse out the shampoo.

Use a stiff bristle brush to brush through your dog’s fur.

Apply a finishing coat to the dog’s fur, using a soft sponge.

Rinse out the final coat.
