I own a poodle named Shelby. She has very curly fur. It is very difficult for me to bathe her because she is so active. I need a way to bathe her where I have the time to wash and brush her and I do not have to fight with her. She is very sensitive and does not like to be bathed with the cold hose water outside. Does anyone have any ideas on how to easily give my dog a bath?

I think this would totally solve your problem... It's a heavy-duty plastic tub that's elevated (about waist level), is comes with a leash & collar restraint, drainage hose, shampoo holder, etc. I use it for my German Shorthaired Pointer, Sheena, and it's soooo much easier than trying to wrestle her into the (people) tub and keep her there, or chase her around with a hose. Not to mention a lot less stress on my back! I read some good reviews about it on a GSP forum but haven't run into anyone else who knows about it! Does anyone here use one already? You can get it online (with free shipping which is nice) at Dog Bath – Elevates, Contains, Drains – Home of the Booster Bath dog bathing system - BoosterBath.com, it's about 180 bucks which I think is totally worth it.
