Simply borrow your better half's favourite perfume and spray it on the dog. Just dont spray it on yourself as the missus will think you have another woman!!

Bring it to the boil and then let it simmer for a while , if that doesn't get rid of the smell you can always flog it to the local chinese resturant.

hint - use that thing that's very large and rather wet and to the left of the picture...

anyway I wash my dogs in the shower with baby shampoo which won't sting dogs eye's. Actually smells fine once they have dried off and to do that quickly borrow her hairdrier, dogs love those once they get use to the noise

Trade the dog in for a short-haired model.

They take care of themselves!

Get in the shower and do it.
particulary if your 'dog walker' would help!

even cheaper and easier than washing the dog is a clothes peg.

We used to use shake n vac on carpets. Both retrievers started to suffer skin problems. Never used it since.

Only have one retriever now. The one that died had terrible smell trouble - very oily typical gun dog fur. Other is still a bit whiffy. Have to bath regularly. Normally use baby shampoo or similar. I few drops of tea tree oil in the final rinse works.
Local vets also do dog grooming. They sell dog fragrance stuff to spray on, works well but i hate false smells.

No substitute for regular grooming (but not too often as you can wash out the natural oils if not careful). My dog doesnt smell as often if kept outside, i dont think modern central heating is good for dogs.

shouldn't a dog be free to smell like a dog, I suggest next time you buy a cat...
at least cats clean themselves and you don't need to take them for walks
