What about a child's plastic wading pool? There are many options. You could bathe him inside and train him to behave in the tub, trying to make the experience as pleasant as possible. I have three medium to large sized dogs and they get bathed in the tub at home and I use a hand held shower attachment for it. When the weather is warm, I go to the dog park and there are hoses to spray them off with. I bathe them there before they get in the car, I just take along their shampoo and towels.
If it is bad weather or I am not feeling up to the park or up to bathing at home I take them to the grooming salon.
