The  long haired breeds require constant coat care and most frequently require services of a professional groomer.

Brushing and combing melody:

Brushing out the coat of a long haired breed is the most important step in dog grooming. The importance of regular brushing is underscored by the fact that a dog can be made presentable by brushing alone.

Brushing your dog is the foundation for all that follows and more time and effort should be devoted to it. The main ingredient to brushing the coat is “manual labor.” Thorough brushing is mandatory before bathing since wetting a tangled, matted coat will only cause the coat to tangle and mat more.

Combing out the coat is a close second step to brushing. Combing the coat should be considered an accompaniment to brushing, thus creating a melody of brush and comb, brush and comb, brush and comb the beautiful coat of your dog.

Brushing and combing techniques:

The approach to your dog grooming consists of starting each step from the hindquarters. The theory behind this approach is if the dog cannot see what you are doing, he will be less likely to object. Starting from the hindquarters proceed to groom the dog systematically, part by part, step by step.

The actual technique of correct dog coat brushing and combing is to first grasp the left rear leg of your dog and while holding part of the hair in one hand brush the other part. To get to the undersides of your dog's leg, lift the leg of your dog up and while holding firmly with one hand, brush the undersides.

Lay down your brush and pick up your comb. The main function of the comb is to find and remove tangles, mats or knots left in the dog's coat after brushing. Run the comb through the leg coat you just brushed out. If you find a knot in the dog's leg coat, hold the bottom part of the knot firmly with one hand and comb or tease out the knot with the other.

When you are finished brushing and combing both hind legs of your dog, do exactly the same with the two front legs of your dog. When all four legs of your dog are done, go back to the hindquarters of your dog. This time, you will concentrate on the tail of your dog. Proceed to do the entire body coat, first left side, then right side, then underside, then the front or chest areas. The most systematic way of brushing out the body coat  is from rear to front, layer by layer, lifting up with one hand a layer of  coat and brushing down to the skin with the brush hand.

The final step is the head, including the ears. The heavy furnishings on the head  are part of their beauty. No effort should be spared in thoroughly brushing and combing this area. You now have the face to do. Once you have mastered the technique of the brushing and combing melody, no area of your should present a problem. Combing is always the final, finishing touch.
