What we posted a lil while ago on >>>
"Smelly - Smelly - Smelly" (about a Horse Pooh *Problem*)

Horse Pooh!??

Horse Pooh STINK does NOT disappear by itself very quickly!

An *bath* is certainly in order...
Be sure to use DOGGY Shampoo ~
(several soap - soak - rub - rinse cycles may be required!

She doesn't *like* baths? Imagine that!

Use the old Horse Trick - Cross Tie her to keep her
reasonably under controll for the bathing process.

Dog stands between Two Fixed Objects...
with a leash or rope tied to each Object (at or slightly HIGHER
than the Dog's standing height),
and Both leashes / ropes snapped onto Fido's Collar.
"Adjust" the tension of the tie ropes to keep her head at
"standing height" - she can still *sit* - but not much else!
Note: Her collar must be *tight* enough that she cannot
"slip out" backwards.

Use "comfortably" warm water - a gentle flow from a garden hose
usually works well. Start applying the water to her legs and
feet first, with LOTS of soothing words!
Work up to her shoulders and back slowly; and
leave her HEAD *dry* for a while... don't rush it!

The Cross-Ties will keep her HEAD in one place;
but you'll need a hand to keep the *rear-end* under control!
And... plan to get a bit *damp* yourself!
Amazing how well a dog can *SHAKE* without
being able to move its head!

*PRAISE* (and treat) for good behavior;
back off and *ignore* if she gets rowdy.

A good Tutorial for teaching a Horse to "TIE" is here >>>
"Teach your Horse to Tie"
Most of it also applies to Tying a Dog.

Be sure to *Rinse WELL* after the final Soaping!

And Robin ~
For very "Vocal" dawggies who want the whole WORLD
to get the message >>>
"But Mom / Dad - I really do NOT want to take a Baff rite now...
YIPP! - YAPP! - HOWWWWWEL! - SCREAM!!!"...

... I might suggest you *Do the Deed* in plain sight of
all the Neighbors - no sense in having one of them report to
the Cops that "Someone's KILLIN a Dawg behind their house!"
