Non-shedding is a bit of a misnomer! All dogs shed their hair but non-shedding breeds shed very minimally. When you think about dog grooming shows, you\u2019re likely imagining a perfectly shaved Poodle. Even if you\u2019re not grooming them for a conformation show, Poodles (and any non-shedding dog) needs to be brushed, bathed, and cared for. Only the frequency of grooms will change.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, drop-eared, non-shedding dogs require extra attention to their ears! Their drop ears cover the ear cavity, often retaining moisture, debris, and dirt. Not to mention that the hairs that grow in the ear cavities are susceptible to matting, potentially leading to hematomas. They need to have their ears cleaned regularly and have their ear cavity hairs removed.<\/p>\n<h4>Related Articles:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/05\/grooming-poodle-qc-dog-grooming-course-sample\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grooming the Poodle: QC Dog Grooming Course Sample<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/12\/how-successful-can-dog-groomer-be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How Successful Can a Dog Groomer Be?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2016\/11\/pet-groomers-matted-dog-coat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Groomers: Here\u2019s How to Deal with a Matted Dog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Myth #5: Bathing a pup regularly is bad for their skin and fur<\/h3>\n<p>This myth is a persistent one. Many novice dog groomers start their careers believing this. Worse yet, some groomers never learn otherwise! Taking care of a dog\u2019s skin helps maintain a full, shiny coat and prevents unpleasant skin conditions. Bathing a dog too regularly can strip the natural oils that condition a coat and keep the dog\u2019s skin healthy. But infrequent bathing, especially for active dogs, can lead to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2019\/03\/pet-banish-stinky-pet-odors-tricks-dog-grooming-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> stinky odor<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8551&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]Every dog has different breed characteristics. There is no \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d solution when it comes to bathing. Smooth-coated dogs generally need fewer baths than hairless breeds. The average dog should be bathed once every 4-6 weeks. Of course, this depends on the specific dog. Some dogs, like the Bergamasco shepherd, should only be bathed 1-2 times a year once their coats have matured!<\/p>\n<p>Many owners don\u2019t have the proper tools or training to remove mats prior to the bath or fail to rinse out shampoo properly. This can create or exacerbate skin conditions instead of preventing them. Educate owners that most dogs should have their bathing left to the pros. If they ask how frequently they should visit the groomer, research their dog\u2019s specific coat characteristics. Being specific and detailed with your suggestions can only benefit the dog!<\/p>\n<p>Do any other myths come to mind?
