Trained all my puppies to stop on a rug by the door and present paws for drying/cleaning when they come in from it being wet or muddy out. They immediately sit and I start with shake. Then then the other one. Then stand up and let me get the back ones. Then the last one. If I bend her rear legs back it works real well and after a few times they get the routine down. They especially like it if it is raining enough that they need toweled off, that's doggy fun. Save that for last.

Keep a beach towel by the door. If it's muddy I keep a bowl of water and a wash rag by the door as well. Can actually dip their paws, then wash and dry them off. To be honest Mom started the bowl of water thing after Mom learned she could get them to do the towel thing.

Pepper won't go out if it's raining very much. If she has to pee really bad ie keeps asking but won't go out in the rain, let her out the front door and she "does her stuff" in the front flower bed right next to the porch that has some roof over it.
