dogs that tend to form mats.<\/a><\/p>\nFriction<\/h3>\n
Brush bristles can be painful on both dogs and humans. Don\u2019t put much pressure into the coat when brushing \u2013 this can lead to scrapes and uncomfortable friction! Working slowly through sections will help you keep your brush away from a dog\u2019s skin to prevent any harm.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”10292″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][vc_column_text]More than this, avoid over-brushing each section by creating a system. Start brushing in one area, count your brushes or use a similar timing method, and then move on to the next section of the coat. When you comb the dog after brushing, this will reveal any places that need more attention. Constant brushing in one area is a quick way to create friction and make grooming a painful experience for your pal.<\/p>\n
Shedding<\/h3>\n
Some owners will complain about how much a dog sheds. As a groomer, you can\u2019t completely stop the shedding but you can<\/em> make it less noticeable!<\/p>\nDe-shedding is a technique that requires special tools, like rakes and blades. Although de-shedding can help some dogs, there are certain coats that you should NOT use these tools on. Keep your brushing guide handy for when you have a client who schedules a de-shedding appointment \u2013 you can tell them right away what you can do to help!<\/p>\n
When it comes to brushing your canine pals, it pays to be vigilant. Your dog grooming clients will be thankful that you are thorough in your work \u2013 this means a happier pup for them to take home! A slow and careful brush from the groomer helps create a bond between you and each dog. Take your time and don\u2019t rush the brush![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in”][vc_column_text]\n
