9. Scrub Runs – students will be assigned to scrub runs
Dump scrub brush in bucket
Start with walls just like in a cage
Start at top
Use overlapping strokes until you reach the bottom
Dip scrub brush in bucket for each section

10. Scrub floors Scrub floor of run after walls
Start at back corner scrubbing toward the drain
Use overlapping strokes until you have covered the entire floor
You should see the suds

11. Scrubbing Cots and Doors

Start at top using overlapping strokes
Make sure to do front and backs of cots and doors
Dump scrub bush in bucket several times as cleaning
Keep cots with cages

12. Final Rinse – Hose person
Rinse is a little longer then first rinse

15. Set Cage Back up
Use any blankets or toys that are on top of the cage that are still in good condition
Otherwise use new blankets from laundry room
Blanket should be folded neatly on cot not touching floor
Pay attention to type of blanket needed for that dog (chewers)

16. Give Water Back Refill water buckets ¾ full
Flat end of bucket goes against door
Small buckets to small dogs
Large buckets to large dogs

17. Let Dogs Back in Check that all cage doors are shut securely
Open doggie doors so that dog can come back in
We need to work quickly, it will get cold and dogs will not want to be outside
