What are the names of the seven washings, in addition to naming the eighth washing "al-ta'feer" (dusting), in the context of washing after a dog has licked a vessel as narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him?

The mentions washing what the dog licked seven times, the eighth with earth. Ta'fir means rubbing with 'afar (earth). These washings were not named individually in the Hadith, nor did scholars assign a name to each of them.
