If you're a fan of multi-tasking here's a practice I've adopted. I used to think, "Oh I need to bathe the dogs but..... it's raining, I don't have time etc. So now I pick a week and take one of the dogs into the shower with me each day till I've bathed all 4. It adds about 5 minutes to my shower time and leading them in on a leash is no big deal. They were all a little suprised the first time but are all old pro's now. If you pick your favorite facial mask and put it on first by the time the dog is bathed the steam has helped your mask do it's thing. I keep a big pump bottle of an inexpensive shampoo in the shower for the dogs, the shower has sliding doors and an extension hose with hand held shower head. Once the dog is bathed they know to go to the far end and chill until we are both done. Then I step out dry off etc and then open the door and dry the dog to avoid the massive shake/spray of water on the walls. Works like a charm and they love to be clean.
