Let the animal soak overnight in a little bit of water (compared to it's size. ie...not enough to drown it) and assist it the next day by slowly pulling the shed off it it already didn't shed while soaking. When you do soak it have nothing else in whatever you are soaking it in. Simply put don't give it an 'out' to go to, let it stay in water. Good luck!
