How can the kids help with dirty chores?

A great way to get the kids involved in family activities and up off of the couch is to have them wash fido at the local self serve dog wash facility. Kids love using the dog wash and it provides them and way to get out of the house with Fido and do the dirty chore with minimal effort and cost. We see it happening a lot here in Tampa at our self serve dog wash units. The kids come first with the family, they learn the ins and outs of washing the dog, and are giving more responsibility by their parents by having them wash fido weekly on their own. Imagine that: a dirty chore that can be done by your son or daughter for under $10 ... and they (the kid and the dog) actually like it! What do you all think about this?
