I start at the neck just after the ears and i scrub her neck and 1/2 way down her back and the front paws. then i get a little more and wash the rest of her back and down to her back feets. then i use a toothbrush and the tearless lorel childrens shampoo for her face ( i love the way it smells

) then i just scrub her for a min or so all over (she hates just sitting there for a minute so i have to keep her entertained) and then get her out. let her run around wildly for a few minutes until she's tired and goes to the bathroom and sits. Then i blow dry her and she's perfect for another 5-7 days
Hope that helps!
What kind of fur/hair do your boys have? Do they require more conditioner b/c its thicker?
