Depending upon the size of your dog work with a teaspoon, or tablespoon, at a time. Work in the butter. At first you're going to say, "this woman's insane and doesn't know what she's talking about." That's when you will feel the pitch start to breakup. Add more butter (if needed) wiping with paper towels every so often and removing the clumps, until it's all gone. Then clean paws, or fur, with warm soapy water. Followed with warm water to rinse soap away. It's amazing!
