she doesn't look to big for the bathtub. Charley is a 100lb pit bull and gets a bath in the bathtub cause he doesn't like the hose. i also had a great dane weighing in at 160lbs that got a bath in the bathtub.

Cookie, a 87 pound German Shepherd, gets a bath in the bathtub, but it takes forever to soak her because we use a little jug to pour the water.
There's always the groomers.

i have to agree with charley. your dog doesn't look bigger than a bath tub. but since she is scared of the hose you can always buy one of the small swimming pools at wal-mart. fill it up with water and give her a bath like that.

SHE MAYBE TOO BIG FOR THE KITCHEN SINK BATH, BUT THE BATHTUB SHOULD BE FINE. IF YOU DONT HAVE A BATHTUB,AND ONLY HAVE A SHOWER THAN PUT HER IN THE SHOWER, WET HER DOWN WITH THE SHOWER SPRAY AND WASH HER, OR JUST LET HER STAND IN THE SHOWER AND YOU CAN GET PITCHERS OF WARM WATER FROM THE SINK TO POUR OVER HER. OR YOU CAN THROW ON YOUR SWIM SUIT, AND HOP IN WITH HER TO GIVE HER A SHOWER-BATH.

YOU CAN TAKE HER TO PETSMART GROOMERS AND HAVE A BATH AND BRUSH DONE, AND SHE WILL COME OUT SMELLING PRETTY, AND YOU CAN ALSO UPGRADE TO THE TOP DOG PACKAGE, AND THEY WILL BRUSH HER TEETH, CLIP NAILS, AND DO A SPECIAL CONDITIONING, WHICH LEAVES HER SMELLING WONDERFUL FOR A LONG TIME AND HELPS WITH SHEDDING.

GOOD LUCK

Not sure how Lucky can be too big for the bath tub but in the event you were referring to another dog, try using a kiddie pool..

If you live close to a petsmart or petco, most of them will allow you to pay $5 to use their large tubs and materials to give your dog a bath.

She doesn't look like she's to big for the bathtub but then again I don't know how big your bathtube is. what you could try is taking her outside and fill some containers up with water and then just dump the water from the containers onto her.

There are alot of grooming shops that have self serve bathing areas and they will usually help you if you ask them.
