Put him in the shower and stand above the shower door aiming the shower at him.  Open the door a little bit.  (Be careful this is where they try and escape).  Soap him up.  Then rinse him off.\n\n Another is tie a rope between two trees or real sturdy posts.\n Tie his leash in the middle so he can't move around alot and blast him with the hose.  Lather.  Then blast with hose again.\n\n Afterwards he gets a scoobie snack.

If you accidentially stepped in dog poo and got it in your carpet, you should use warm soapy water on a rag to get it out. Press the area -- don't scrub. Then press with a clean towel to soak up the water. Spray the area with Lysol, let dry and vacuum the area. \n\nIf you had stepped in dog poo and put it in your carpert ON PURPOSE then you would do something entirely differet!
