Kinda depends on what the end result needs to be. If I'm working at a kennel, I'll sometimes take them there and bathe them. If I need them to really look good and am not working someplace with grooming, I'll find a self service place. Otherwise, if they need shampoo, I'll put them in the tub. If they just need to have some rinsing off and it's nice enough outside, I hose them.
