I don't believe that the washing 7 times is necessary.
These matters were dicussed many hundreds of years ago when there wwern't things called disinfectant and such to clean yourself.
A good wash (one time) with a disinfectant wash will do the trick. No need for 7 times.
I suggest to my muslim dog training clients or those that adopt from QAWS, to have different clothes for working with their dogs, and they only handle their animals when they are wearing those clothes.
There are ways and means around these things - most of the time the fear of animals is cultural.... Was told by a Sheikh... the reason Arabs in particular don't like dogs, is not religious... its because in the old times, their mainstay was thuggery and thieving and the dogs at the homes they would go to plunder would give them away with their barking!!!
