When Cassie and I have been for a walk,{its winter here now and sidewalks are wet and dirty} I bring her in and it is a ritual she just heads for the laundry sink. I have a hose on it like you do the kitchen sinks and she stands in and I wash her belly and feet off. Then I have a flannelette blanket folded on the washer and dryer and I put her up there hold it at both ends and she just rubs all over till she thinks shes dry . I help her a bit thenshe gets down and runs 100 miles an hour around the house. It is so funny but maybe if you do something like that on a smaller scale, it would work.
