Flat Coated Retriever

ICMG Georgina Covington takes us through bathing, drying and grooming out a Flat Coated Retriever. These dogs are soft in nature and willing to please.

Georgina explains correct shampoo selection for a Flat Coated Retriever. This dog requires specific shampoo and technique to flatten and give the coat a strong black shine.

Why choosing the correct conditioner can help to remove the dead and unwanted coat to leave a perfect finish.

The Flat Coated Retriever is never a huge job, but it is still a double coated breed and thus requires correct tool selection and use. Georgina demonstrates particular combs and carding tools, and finishes off with the feet and hocks.
