Brushing the Body and Legs

Effective grooming between salon appointments is crucial to prevent knots and tangles in your dog's coat. For this, you'll need a slicker brush and a comb. The slicker brush is your first line of defense against tangles. Remember, it's not just about brushing over the top; you need to reach the skin. Follow the "line brushing" technique. Lift the hair from the bottom of the foot, use a hooking motion, and brush away from the skin. Check your progress from the front. The goal is to straighten the hair down to the skin. Afterward, run a metal comb through the coat to ensure it's thoroughly detangled. A comb should slide through at a 45-degree angle.
