How to Rinse Your Dog
Hi! This is John for Expert Village. Today, we are talking about dog grooming and right now we are going to show you how to properly rinse the dog, that has already been soaped up and lathered. You turn your water on and make sure it is warm. Once it has warmed up enough come up to the head, you want to rinse the water, rinse all the soap off of his head, make sure you pay special attention to the eyes, you want to rinse all the soap off of the ears, making sure you don’t get any water down in his ears. And you want to work your way down his head slowly, rinse the muzzle, rinse his beard, other side, the muzzle and the beard, okay. And now you want to rinse the rest of the dog and basically you start up at the neck work your way down the back. You always work from the top down. I am going to rinse his front legs next. Rinse off his feet, make sure you rinse in between his pads, same with the other leg. Good boy now rinse it on the other side. Rinse his belly. It is very important to have your hand in there so you can feel that the shampoo is being rinsed off, you never want to have shampoo left on your dog. You want to rinse up in between his legs. Rinse his rear-end off. Work down the back legs and his tail, get his other back leg. Okay, he is clean and rinsed and now he is now ready to be dried.
