If in the event you do not want to watch the vidoe:
Your dog鈥檚 ear is more L-shaped than yours, and debris loves to collect at the corner of the L. To remove this debris, fill your dog鈥檚 ear canal with a good ear cleaner. Ear cleaners should be slightly acidic but should NOT sting. Massage the base of the ear for 20-30 seconds to soften and release the debris. Wipe out the loose debris and excess fluid with a cotton ball. Repeat this procedure until you see no more debris. Depending on your dog鈥檚 ear condition, you may have to start out doing this twice a day.

Cotton applicator swabs can be used to clean the inside of the earflap and the part of the ear canal you can see. They should NOT be used farther down in the ear canal since that tends to pack debris in the ear canal, rather than removing it.

Some ear problems are so painful, the dog must be anesthetized to do a good job of cleaning the ears. You may find your dog does not like to have his ears cleaned because it is uncomfortable. Talking to him during the process, stopping momentarily to give him a treat if he is doing well (we do not want to reward fussiness!) and doing something fun afterwards may all help.

After the ear is clean, let the dog shake his head and allow some time for the ears to dry. Then you can apply any ear medication that was prescribed.

Just get some over the counter cleaner.then use cotton balls and toile paper. If hes a big guy you wil have to stick your whole finger down into his ear ewwwwww but it has to be done.

don't do this yourself as you can damage the dogs inner ear also the only way the dog can let you know you are hurting it is too BITE YOU better off taking it to a vets or rspca or pdsa

Definetely do not stick your whole finger in his ear ! It is very sensitive inside, you can clean the outter ear with a cotton ball and some ear cleaner but if they are very dirty, red or inflammed it is best to bring them to your veterinarian as they may have an ear infection or ear mites.

Get some cotton wool pads and a small bowl of warm water. Wet the pad and squeeze out excess water. Gently wipe the OUTER ear and don't poke right down to the bottom of it.

Never use cotton buds. These are too harsh and often the cotton tip can come away inside the dogs ear.

Repeat on other ear then give your dog a treat so he associates ear cleaning with something nice.
