Some ideas for bathing in the tub. Get a long hose with a sprayer, and attach it to your shower head. They sell them in the pet stores.
Now do what show folks do; you can place upside down a large portable tub, which raises the height and place a non slip mat on it. then your dog. You won't have to bend so much. I also use old towels along the floor as I can inadvertently splash water over them.
Luckily I have a nice laundry sink, very deep, but still I raise up with a portable tub so I don't have to bend so far for Razzle
Until I get my pro bathing tub installed in the laundry room; here is how I wash Magic in our bath tub.
I climb in with him, and to do his legs I sit down, spray wet him, shampoo and wash legs, I to his back and rear standing. With a Yorkie you can place him between your legs and wash, rinse, condition, etc. Shouldn't be too hard on your back I'm thinking. I also have of course a slip free mat down in the tub.
Happy washings!
