Brushing your dog is an effective way to keep her hair from building up, if you keep some good advice in mind.
Things to consider:
No Chewing Allowed – Brushes are not dog toys. You should never let your dog bite, chew, or mouth the dog brushes and combs, or you´ll set yourself up for a lifetime of her getting riled up, and wanting to play every time she sees them, instead of settling down for a calm and quiet dog grooming session. One way to avoid this is to let your dog know that following every good dog grooming session, you´ll have a bit of active playtime together.
Brush a Damp Dog – Brush your dog when the coat is damp. If the coat is too wet, it becomes elastic and brushing can stretch the hairs to their breaking point. If the coat is too dry, brushing can break the hairs like brittle pasta. If you dog has just come out of a bath, towel dry her off real good before using dog brushes on her coat. If she has not had a bath, you might need to dampen her coat with a spray bottle of water before you start brushing.
Brush Regularly – Is your house smothered in dog hair? The number one way to keep dog hair from building up, and depositing in your home, is to get in the habit of brushing your pet at least every two days with, of course, the appropriate dog brushes.
