In a nut-shell
Brush your dog thoroughly before bath time: Doing so will help remove loose dirt and hair, making the bath more effective.
Tie your dog securely in the wash station: It's also a good time for a treat- help yourself! so your dog begins to associate bath time with something positive.
Be very careful not to get water in your dog's ears: Not only is it irritating, but it can also lead to infection. If you do ensure you clean and dry ears with finger pads/towel provided.
Wash your dog from the neck down: Following this advice not only helps keep water out of their ears, but it also ensures you don't get water or shampoo in your dog's eyes.
Drying your dog: Clean and dry the face 1st the start at the neck working your way to the tail, THEN place wrap/place towel around dog and leave for 2 minutes whilst you familiarised yourself with the blower.
Go slowly with the blow dryer: Not all dogs like a blow dryer, so you may need to gradually introduce it.

Use shower to wet your paw`s fur taking care not to get any in the ears.
We always advice to start from the tail to front with luke warm water then.
5
Lather then up one side
Pour shampoo into your dog’s fur in large sections to ensure that the product is evenly distributed. As you work the shampoo through their coat, take care to clean any particularly dirty areas, paying close attention to spots that tend to trap dirt or debris. This thorough approach will help keep your dog's fur clean and healthy, making bath time an effective part of their grooming routine.
6
Lather then up the other side
If you have a large dog, you`ll need to do one side and then the other. Unclip the neck noose to turn them around or simply just loosen the securing clip on the sliding bar and slide across.
7
Rince off the Suds..
Once your paw is suitably sudded up, use the shower to rinse off the shampoo, ensuring that you gently work from one side to the other. It's important to avoid the ears during this process, so focus on rinsing the fur from the neck downwards. This way, you can ensure a thorough clean while keeping your furry friend's ears safe from water and shampoo. Remember to be gentle and patient, making bath time a pleasant experience for your dog.

Shaking after a Paw Spa is normal follow by an complementary treat
Dogs shake after a bath for several reasons, and it’s a natural instinct that dates back to their wild ancestors. One of the primary reasons is to remove excess water from their fur. Shaking is an efficient way for dogs to dry themselves, as it helps dislodge water droplets from their coat. This behaviour is particularly useful for dogs with thick or long fur, which can retain a lot of moisture.
Another reason dogs shake is to regulate their body temperature. Water can lower their body temperature, especially if it’s cold. By shaking, dogs generate heat and help themselves warm up.
