" Good Way 1. Pick your location: sink or tub (line the bottom with a rubber mat), kiddie pool, or even on a leash in the backyard, where you can use the hose. Have treats handy to reward cooperation. 2. Brush out his fur before wetting him. A drop of baby oil can loosen sticky snarls (from, say, tree sap). 3. Place a cotton ball in each of his ears. Soak him down using a shower nozzle, a hose adapter, or a plastic pitcher. Work a dab of dog shampoo (not yours) into his coat, starting behind the ears. Rinse. Wipe his face with a damp cloth. Step back for the inevitable shake. 4. Wrap him in a towel to blot dry. Remove the cotton from his ears. Good Enough 1. If he&amp;#039;s more smelly than dirty, skip the water wash. Start with a brushing to release any tangles. 2. Move outdoors so you won&amp;#039;t make a mess inside with the next steps. Mix a solution of half apple cider vinegar and half water in a clean spray bottle. Spritz on a microfiber cloth (not directly on the dog) and wipe your pup down, avoiding his eyes. 3. Next, sprinkle your dog with baking soda. The powder won&amp;#039;t harm his skin, and its deodorizing properties will freshen his coat \u2014 and neutralize the vinegary smell. 4. Let him shake a few times (prompt him by blowing gently in his ear), then brush his fur again. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
