How To wash your dog
Fill the tub with warm water, shut the door (because the last thing you need is to be chasing a muddy dog down the hallway) and saturate your dog with water. Use the cup to spoon water over the dog's back and over its face.

Guide the clipper along the top of the head in the same direction as the hair is growing. Move the clipper in short, quick strokes to maintain an even cut.
Finish cutting the dog's head by doing the sides and all around the nose. Put the dog's head through the dog noose.
Groom the ears by holding them in your hands. Run the clipper flat along the top outside of the ears. Trim the edges of the ears in slower strokes.
Continue by grooming the dog's back and full body. Start at the end close to the dog's head.
Place the clipper at the top of the backbone. Move the clipper down both sides of the dog, from the backbone and along the entire side. Work each section until reaching the tail end. Finish by clipping the dog's underside.
Take one of the dog's paws in your hand and gently pull it so that it stretches out straight. Begin at the top of the leg and work down toward the paw in shorter, slower movements. Do the same with the other paws.
