I think this is a great idea, as long as your dog is not
afraid and the rinse cycle gets all of the soap out.

I can not take my dogs to a groomer,
(Rocky only lets family bath him and believe
me it is not fun.)
It's funny he will go part way into a lake, but
he will not step foot in his kiddie pool.
The only way I can give him his bath is by hooking
his leash on him so he will not take off.

I will never forget the first time I gave him a bath.
I was hosing him off and he started screaming
bloody murder. You would have thought I was
killing him.
I guess he did not like cold water, so I paid a plumber to
put a hot water spout in my back yard just for him.
