Brushing and combing your dog should be made into a nice ritual. Pick a destination for a do the grooming-a chair, table or bench will soon be satisfactory. Carry canine onto the chair or dining table, conversing with him, reassuring him that all is well. Let him know that he is in for a treat, no experience. Let him smell each tool; the wash, comb, nail clippers and scissors. It's essential he learn how to connect these methods with a nice experience. Handle the specific situation with tact and care, and the pet can look forward to it. Botch the work and you will be trying to find the dog the next time you enhance the grooming tools.

Use a brush with the right bristle length; short for medium- and short-haired dogs, extended bristles for long-haired dogs.

Matted hair

If you have a or smooth-haired dog, you will not have to bother about matted hair. But longhaired and medium- dogs do get tangled or matted hair from burs, color, tar, gum or other sticky or prickly objects. Dried food will also contribute to matted hair, and this really is common in earliest pens dogs and puppies. Matted hair is not only unsightly, but it may pinch and irritate canine.

If the hair is not too snarled, try brushing out the rugs. Do this lightly. Support the matted hair or tuft in one hand and carefully clean it. If it is too closely matted, you'll need certainly to cut it down. Use blunt-end scissors. Puppies are extremely fast and wriggly, so be cautious never to jab your pet with the scissors. There's very little risk with blunt-end scissors. Carefully move the mat away from the dog's human body, then vigilantly slice the hair between your skin and the mat or tuft. Avoid pulling or pulling the tuft; it hurts. Paint, tar, and other sticky or gummy matter can be softened with acetone (nail-polish remover) and then combed out. division
