piggy heart......ideas needed....please

Heart is a perfect dog in every way except one!!!!!! She loves to dig in the dirt with her FACE!!!!

The picture below was taken about 1/2 hour AFTER her bath and her 1 hour brush...I made the big mistake of letting her go out after her "ordeal" and this is how she came in....... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Any suggestions on how to keep her nose to herself>>>>>????
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
LOL! None, she's just quite normal. Relax, she's a curious dog who wants to experience the world with her best tool, her nose. Let her exercise her mind and snout then clean up later. I'd be more worried about a dog who wasn't curious about his/her environment. Remember, she is a D-O-G and then are naturally messy :wink:
Welcome to my club. :lol:

It takes me about 4 hours to wash and dry my puppy and it is the same "thank you" that I receive.
When he is finish, I just take my "Wash'N Dry" soap to clean his face.

It is a purple waterless soap that you spray on the coat, you take a towel to wash the dirt off and then you brush. It dries by itself.
This is my product http://www.cherrybrook.com/index.cfm/a/ ... ry_Shampoo
I didn't buy it on this web site. I bought in a dog show. But it is the same product.
Thanks sooooooooooooooomuch!!!!!!!!


I will order it today, I have been using baby wipes and I go through a 1/2 a pack every time...
Similar products that I use (and may be available in your area) are Bio-Groom's Waterless Bath and #1 All Systems Self Rinse Conditioning Shampoo, Coat Refresher & Deodorizer.

Good luck!
I do the same with baby wipes. Funny, never thought I would be in that isle at the grocery store. Funnier is the look on peoples faces when I say they are for my dog.
Blue does the SAME thing alway a dirty face, have to take pic. Then nice clean water dish does for a drink and the YUK him and water dish. No wonder Sami tries to drink from the toilet. :roll:
Hi welcome in the sheepie world, I have a show bitch at home who is the same as long as I can keep her clean for the shows I do not mind her being a little dirty as long as she is happy.

Glad to see I'm not alone here! I know we're in trouble if Dodger has been in our yard for a while and I haven't seen him. Usually he pulls sticks around the yard, and plays with the dogs next door (through the fence), but when he's not I can rest assured that he's using his face to garden with. :roll:

I use that, too but mostly, I've just given up. It's not like Clyde will ever be snow white so if I have to choose between shades of brown, I don't really care!

:lol: :lol: Pearl is shade of brown most of the time...and it doesn't bother me as much.................

Maybe cuz Heart is so NEW~~~~ and every other part of her is "hurt-your-eyes" white..... I would like to keep ALL of her that white-white...but sometimes you just can't have everything you want..can ya?????

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't use the products all the time. But, they are so valuable to clean him up in the face before he goes out in public - training classes or on therapy dog visits. The rest of him can be fresh and spotless, but that little face always gets into something before we leave!
At shows :wink: we use corn flour to whiten parts that are dirty.
The beard can also stain if it is not dried regulary after drinking e.g. we have a towel lying around in nearly every room. :idea: If the stains are really bad then take some baking soda mix with a little water and make it into a paste, you then put this on to the beard (we use a pastry brush to paint it on) leave on for about twenty minutes and rinse off with vinegar water, then wash out with a blue shampoo. :clappurple:
Alternative mix a little baking soda in with the diluted shampoo same effect. :sidestep:

Since we started boiling the water before use we have reduced this problem a lot seems we have something in the water in our town.
