I have several. I am an enormous fan of the pure pause products So I'm going to take some of these up here where you can see them I am so bad at this camera thing. There you go pure pause Amplify this is for your double coated dogs, right? You see it great stuff Brilliant. Nope. I cannot get this right brilliant conditioner. This is another Phenomenal product particularly if you have white dogs If you have light-colored dogs, these pure pause products are amaze balls Okay couple more of my favorites Couple more of my favorites in the shampoo category There you go white Right see that pure pause this stuff is amazing on the whites on your dogs that have high whites on your white dogs On whatever it is the important and most important thing to remember if you are using any kind of whitening shampoo you must I cannot emphasize enough must Condition after you bathe And for conditioner and shampoo another product that I'm quite happy with our good friend Janice the Barker. This is the conditioner. They also have a shampoo Fabulous fabulous fabulous product. Check it out if you have not Here's one for those of you again with white dogs or PS Beards all of us with bearded dogs another pure pause product For I could only just go the right way This is the enzyme treatment spray Unfortunately, Janice telling us that she learned last weekend pure pause is being discontinued. Oh my god. If you have it keep it Keep it forever. Oh my god. No, that's terrible Plush puppy is another Vendor that I have always enjoyed if that is really really true And plush puppy you can see the brand name here. This happens to be swishy coat This is a product that you'll use for any of your drop-coated breeds Anything with long hair that you want the hair to fall nicely in a nice straight line, but not be Sticky, right you dilute this in your spray bottle Plush puppy if you can't find pure pause if your pause is going to break my heart and go away Then my next choice would be plush puppy For those of you who have the option to find any of these items still available Pure pause texture spray or texture these little granules In your wire coated breeds or actually anything that needs a little volume in their coat Brand that we're all familiar with and happy with and has some phenomenal products if I could only get my lefts and rights correct This is Chris Christensen No, it's not. This is number one all systems. Sorry. I lied number one all systems this Shazam Again for anyone who has some staining on their white dogs. I'm maze falls It is a clear gel I can even open this container. I'm not entirely sure I've used it in ages and Nope, it's all gone clear gel that you can use on your stained areas Hot dry it with a hot dryer and then condition the hell out of it So number one all systems another option and here we have Chris Christensen Chris Christensen another brand that we're all If we're not we should be familiar with this happens to be their cholesterol product for Coats that you want to keep in condition and as a conditioner It's also will help hold the the coat in place if you have leg hair For example, this is what we use for wire hair pointers when we're getting their legs to be just so Okay But it is designed as a conditioner. I used it as a conditioner many many times Before we get too far down the road Some basic hygiene chlorhax for their ears When you clean their ears Use your ear cleaner. I prefer the tris ultra use the ear cleaner and then use the chlorhax Amaze balls Will help heal anything. I had it heal a surgical implant When it's ditches pulled and I use that and it healed with no problem and teeth Can I talk to you as someone who judges dogs these days? Dirty teeth are just disgusting like I actually have to look in that dog's mouth You need to look at the at the molars guys if they're green and yellow and gross Nobody's nobody's really interested This is a great way to help keep them up without having to actually use a toothbrush and just put your pad on your finger Wake them out clean Hey Laura Gabriela wants to know do you have a reference sheet somewhere with all your favorite grooming products? Gabrielle, I do not but it's not a bad plan. I could probably do something like that to add as an appendix Addendum appendix One of those to to our event from tonight. Yeah, I'd be happy to I know Natalie had talked to me about trying to get Amazon back links to all this stuff. I'm so bad at this So fortunately hopefully someone smarter than me will figure this out And we'll be able to get you links actually to go buy all this stuff For those of you with short-cutted breeds Honest to God if I could just get this right Ridgebacks Manchester's great stuff mink oil Spray a little bit on your hands rub on the dog rub them down with your hand brush but a bing but a boom They're all shiny and pretty This is actually human product I don't recommend a lot of human products, but this Was recommended to me by one of my mentors in Kaisen's and This was incredible for lift in the in the spits breeds Any of the double-coated breeds that you really need to get a little lift on your coat? Maybe you're a little light on coat what have you? this stuff in Incredible I couldn't believe dump it in just a tiny tiny little amount roots brush it up boom big hair Yeah Where coated breeds again or any breed that you need to have a little texture in your coat harsh coat chalk This is actually my favorite. There's many many brands. I really really like this one brushes in nice Don't forget you'll need to have a chalk brush A little bristle brush looks like so if you use white chalk and a colored chalk make sure make sure That you have a different color brush for each chalk Pro tip Laura and wants to know do you worry about judges feeling the texture powder in the coats? Super great question in when I use any grooming product. I do my own touch test Okay, so I'm trying to back far enough away that you guys can actually see me So I touch their legs I touch the anything that I put product in I touch it I mean to be sure that no product is coming off on my hands I will sometimes hit a dog with course driver real quick to blow it in the extra Harsh coat chalk is a great example of something that you can Put on the dog's legs and then blow any extra out if you use the cholesterol first To create a base you put the chalk in on top of the cholesterol Brush it in into the desired shape if you will and then spray it lightly Everybody's favorite Chris Christiansen thick and thicker There's lots of other hairsprays if you're a poodle person you have Special poodle hairspray everybody's got a special hairspray. That's my go-to and And if you do those things you are going to be less likely to have anything come up on your hands So be aware don't overdo Understand that the rules are any foreign substance in the dog's coat is a DQ so Don't make it obvious Some judges care some judges don't Don't make a mistake and find the one that does that Okay, other things probably the single least valued item most undervalued item water and a spray bottle Okay, that is designed to when a dog is cold it pops up its hair Yeah So all your double coated dogs your Aussie is anything that you want the hair to stand up that works Anything with a curled coat which you use water dog and Irish water spanula Any of those sort of breeds that you want to have a tight curl a little white spritz will re-curl the coat spray model of water Can be used when you're in a ring with carpet and the dog slipping and you need the dog to have better traction if you dampen the pop pads the little horny stuff opens up and They are able to get a better grip on the surface So they're not going to slip as badly. So you'll notice people with the spray bottle of water. All right listerine another Kim's coming to visit us. So maybe you can check on that Listerine is another one of those unbelievably undervalued products listerine in a 50-50 Solution just straight up listerine did straight up right, but you know what it says here on the bottle Anti-gengivitis anti plaque it's actually somewhat antibacterial and particularly when you're talking about Breeds with beards, okay Breeds that you're going to hand strip any of those sorts of things the listerine will act as a mild cleanser and Any of the times that you've pulled coat on a wire coated dog and you've opened up those hair follicles, right? So you're you're opening yourself up to a polyethylitis light spritz with listerine rub with the ground of a coat with a damp with a dry towel and this will help keep you from having in infections or problems In your hair shops in your follicles, okay Another thing that no one in the world can live without Lips in our spray bottle Sulfurants self rinse is a The dog had to pee and get stuff on his boy parts or he had a blowout accident You don't have time for a full bath Whatever it is Sulfurants is a quick cleaner does not have to be rinsed out of the dog's coat and we'll keep it clean In an emergency last minute. Okay, so friends. No one should ever leave home without Paper towels I know Seems a little stupid, but handy and if you have the kind of grooming arm that goes straight up and folds down You just slide the towels right here. So handy Okay Now we're gonna get to a couple things that I think no one should ever leave home without In this case, no one should ever leave home without gas X if They have a breed that's prone to bloat Any of the bloating breeds we have gas X in every Room in our house in every vehicle and every bag if the dog looks at you funny Give it a gas X I'm not gonna hurt it and you might very well save its life Gas X will break up the gas bubbles that are causing the dog to have a discomfort Potentially Preventing an actual GVD. Okay, never leave home without gas X A couple items that I keep around for dogs that You know, we're stressed. Haven't had the the best Experience maybe they're going through a fear period whatever it might be and these are two different products that are non What would I say not they're not drugs, right, we're not trying to drug our dogs We're just trying to give them a good Basis for getting through life This particular product is used on bulls and it keeps them calm in the mating season Seems like it might be okay works great on dogs rub it on their nose another product in the age of you see this there you go in the age of of Everything marijuana is free hemp in and CBD oil are non Drug right the non psychoanalytic Yeah, has no THC won't make your dog sick, but has benefits This is another one that's very very useful for your pet for your dog for any dog Whether it's a thunderstorm whatever it might be both of these are handy items Bitches in season Whatever it might be. So there we go. Now. We've got some basics now. We're gonna get into the more complicated stuff Everyone should have their dog on the table once a week Minimum I don't care if you have a whip it it needs to be on the table once a week no matter what Tonals it's a grinder. There's a ton of clipper do what you like. Everybody's got a thing Do their toenails every week start when they're tiny babies. I understand some of them won't like it They don't have to like it. They need to be okay with it So work with them give them a treat after each foot after each toe if that's what it takes Okay, toenails must be done Your dog's toenails touch the floor when it's standing up Right standing up toenails are actually touching the floor You can hear the dog touching the floor with its toenails. They're too long You are now actually hurting the dog And the damage that you're gonna do to the dog this toenails are too long is Far greater than the damage that you will do to the dog psyche by trimming them. Okay? I promise you if you are strong and brave your dog will be strong and brave, too We can do an entire episode on how to turn your dog's toenails. I'm just telling you trim them start early Do it frequently every week by putting your dog on the table every single week to do nails Check ears check anal glands check for lumps and bumps check for mats all of those things You are a Making sure your dog is staying healthy B You know growing that relationship with your dog, which is a big part of the thing You do this from the time the dog is eight weeks old. I promise I promise It will be okay to be groomed when it's a grown-up dog and if we have time at the end of this I will show you an example of what I mean by that. Okay. All right next up and everybody Should have You guys can see this of course dryer. This happens to be the one I like. It's called the X power Got a little moveable dial Helps you get water out of the coat If you have a cat you can do an entire seminar on how to properly blow dry the dog for your particular coat for your particular breed for your particular animal and Begetting the water out of your dog after a bath Force dryers tag those tools many of you should also have a hot dryer Not everybody when I had double coated free. It's they never had a hot dryer and of course try So it depends on your breed depends on your coat Next up something that many of us should have Do you see this from there? It's your basic clipper. This one happens to be an Oster Everybody has the one they like. I love that are cook slippers that are like a 9 to a 40 in the same blade I just killed three of them. So I finally just gave it up These have of course replaceable blades the larger the number of the blade the shorter the Trim on the hair. So if you have a 40 blade, that's almost a surgical Okay If you have a four or a five, it's gonna give you about half an inch of hair left So many of you will use that, you know, if you're poodle people, clearly you've got 90 million of those blades if you're someone who's just trimming potty trails and Underneath of the pads and stuff like that a 10 blade for 90% of what you need is probably gonna be enough Obviously There's exceptions. There's 200 breeds. We're not gonna discuss all of their grooming needs in one one-hour session a common brush I think that So much of the world's problems in life could be solved If we all just used our brushes and our combs properly. It's a very lovely Chris Christensen Pen brush with a nice ergonomic handle love this one This is a slicker brush kind of a beat up one, but you understand what I'm saying Slicker brush you're gonna use that on Anything it's got short little thingies. There's different textures of pens soft and hard. This one's pretty hard Use it brush up your legs. You're not gonna be getting any mats out with this. You're never gonna use this on Super fragile coats anything like that Most people in most breeds are gonna find the most use for a good pen brush This is another I'm pretty sure yeah Chris Christensen brush super nice brush thing to know about this great pro tip that was on Pure dog talk sometime ago from Alison Foley again leading at show dog Academy Keep your brushes in the boxes. They came in right protect these pens once these pens are bent broken spindled and mutilated They're actually gonna break the coat and they're gonna be of little or no value And then you're gonna have a comb. This is a big old poodle comb, but it shows you double sides Single sides a good steel comb will solve 90% of the world's problems in almost every breed Kinds of options for your bristle brushes this conceivably one of my most treasured items This is a pen brush with a little borer bristle in the middle. I use this on back coats I use this on beards on the wire coated dogs. This is a Phenomenal tool separates the hair nicely. This is a copper infused bristle brush as you can see badly worn and that I've used on back coats on wire coated breeds for I don't know 10 plus years and Those items are incredibly incredibly handy if you Oh with it or any of the shorter Manchester anything with a ridgeback anything with shorter hair That you need to get a little bit of shedding done on these little rubber squeegee brushes Fabulous sheep AF Little rubber to do to do right scrub with the grain of the hair Get those things showed up super fast this item comes from The feed store This is what's called a lava block in horses. It's called a bot block It is a little tiny chunk of pumice stone and you can use this in horses We use it to take the flies eggs off their legs, but in dogs We use it to take fuzzy hair off their ears off of any place. We don't want anything little fuzzy downy stuff We don't want it to be you can hear Right what that feels like you have to be careful. You can really if you're digging in there You can cut your dog. So be careful with these Another thing that you can pick up while you're at the tax door Happen to have Happen to have a bottle of it handy, but you can pick up some cowboy magic anybody who has Dogs with feathering right coated dogs with feathering that might be getting into something They shouldn't be or snow or furs or you name it cowboy magic Particularly their what's it called detangling detangling product Is amazing. It's a silicone Treats coats the hair everything brushes right out Wash the hell out of the coat after you've used it and then condition the hell out of the coat, right? The silicone is not good for the dog's coat, but it will help you get crap out of the dog's coat Without losing as much hair as you might The other thing that you can pick up at the feed store and this is just the handiest little item For those of you who have short-cutted breeds that you'd like to remove whiskers on This is a whisker trimmer that we use on horses. You can see these little Teethy things, right? There's a blade right above them run that down the dog's muzzle Whiskers trimmed don't have to cut their tongue off. It's amazing For those of you who have ever tried to trim whiskers With a scissor and cut the tongue on the dog in the process right before you go to the group rank high pick me It's it's a lifesaver I'm gonna tell you and the next thing that I'm gonna encourage you to spend a lot of money on as much money as you have Available to you is your scissors Everybody's gonna need scissors at some level Okay, and these are curves. These are just like little I don't know five inch curves something like that You want to look for something that has good balance in your hands. Everybody's got a different balance point Again, always remember we're not use these are not Scissors like you'd use in school right the important part is the Ring finger does the work. These are old sticky thing scissors ring finger does the work You put the ring finger in here. You don't use them with your middle finger ring finger does the work Scissors rest on your index finger thumb is for stability right Thinning shears these are single-sided Fabulous these happen to be a bent shank thinning sheer that I've had people threaten my body to take from me They are amazing. I have never found them again. I bought them. I They're 25 plus years ago Fabulous pair of thinning shears. I think I've sharpened them once another Fansier version of the curves right again Okay, you want to be able to have them move smoothly. Keep them sharp Don't cut wet hair with your good scissors. Keep a pair of crappy scissors just for that purpose Same with your blades Don't run your clipper break blades on that coat unless you want to replace them Keep a crappy blade that you do just that way Next items on the agenda stripping knives those of you who have wire-cutted breeds You do not want these to be sharp This particular knife is again probably 15 20 years old very dull does not cut the hair If you have any doubt that you can do this Pull coat right so you're pulling Right no bent no motion in the wrist. No nothing. This is just grip That's all that is to have a grip for your thumb. And so find the knife that fits your hand the best You can put tape or That wrap around here if you're uncertain that you can pull hair without cutting it You can use the end with your thumb Just a couple different shapes and types of knife That might be easy for people to use depending on the hand depending on the area on the dog they're working on and These are particularly lovely set of knives that one of the patrons actually gave me so Um But for quick and easy you can also use this to rake undercoat this little guy course with a stripping knife cast like I don't know 12 bucks stripping knives like scissors me to fit your hand and what's comfortable to you a couple final items before we actually get to a real-life dog eat cook King This happens to be the giant size Freaking love this thing Again, I don't even know how many teeth this has 32 And it's you can hurt the dog if you're not careful, right? These are hooked and sharp, but if you pull straight don't Pull straight you can pull a lot of undercoat with this thing and not break the code If you have a double coated breed, this is not the tool for you This is a tool for wire coated breeds anything that you want to pull undercoat Without breaking the top coat and this little item is the coolest thing It's just a like a mat splitter rake. It has this squishy rubber handle So for those of us with really bad hands When you're trying to get through something that's matted up puppy coat coat change anything like that Hand you a light always remember when you are brushing your dog particularly Wine brushing doing anything with coach. You're gonna have two items in your hand. You're gonna have a spray bottle We're gonna say that the spray bottle has conditioner at the very least it has water Ideally it has heavily diluted conditioner Spritz right nice spray right spray spray brush And those two things go together lift up brush Duck brush spray. Do not brush dry coat. Do not brush dirty coach Okay, so in the scheme of things of all the things that Andy Laura has in her chat box Couple other sort of miscellaneous items a towel, right? Always have a towel dry the dog off Put it on the table Whatever it is and this will hand you out of back here Multi-plug lead of the dog show never lose your cord write your name on it And you can't see it back here, but make sure you have a mirror in your grooming area At home in your dog room in your kennel. You know, what have you and then for at the dog show If you have a dog Pretty much any dog up to and including a whip it Everybody needs tubs. You have two of these a little warm water Put a ditty dab like a quarter-sized ditty dab of shampoo in one This one says rinse in the rinse. I put a ditty dab of conditioner sponges. Just straight up You know 25 cent sponges and you can table bath your dog On day, you know Two through seven right so that they're not bramming and gross for the judge to feel when they go over them If you are putting any kind of product in your dog's coat Any kind of product in your dog's coat it should be washed out at the end of every day Otherwise the dog's coat is going to break and look like hell and you will be sad When you wash the dog out most of the dogs will need to be dried all the way down to the skin Some if you're just doing legs because that's the only place that you have product can be towel dried Some of the wire could have reed like that Okay, well, we're doing a little table change. Do we have questions Stacey? Yes Gabriela asked she's heard some people say that That cholesterol can be drying For the coat. I'm assuming Gabriella. Have you found this to be true? Um, Gabriella Cholesterol is actually a conditioner. It's literally its job is to be a hair conditioner for women That's what it was designed for. We have transitioned it into the use in dogs But its original purpose was as a heavy conditioner for women If you're going to use can cholesterol the issue with cholesterol is that if you leave it in the coat for more than a day or so It's going to collect dirt. If you're going to use cholesterol to condition You put it in leave it in for a day or two. You wash it out And you dry and then you put new cholesterol There are better leaving conditioners that we have today a lot of people still use it from the olden days when that was a pretty common and and Popular conditioning item, but we have much much better leaving conditioners these days next Ingrid mentioned the importance of branding your tools or brushes Indeed Ingrid And this is a perfect story You will see that this brush has my name on it Um from when I was handling dogs. I retired five years ago Um, this brush was loft somehow by sun assistant somewhere Who shall rename? Nameless and a dog show and someone picked it up And took it with them and literally five years later I got my brush back that I love more than life itself. So I'm saying write your name on everything um Use tape you see this little guy This little guy I couldn't write my name on because it's dark. It's got my tape on it Um, and I wrote my name on the tape although that's worn off. Well, it even does have my name on it I'm not sure you can see it. There you go. Um label everything Uh people you forget things People have white fingers. I mean, let's just be real shit happens. Um, that's the way to Resolve that is to label everything and try and keep it from walking off Any other items, um, Jen mentioned she carries like we do the gi emergency kits She's got gas x uh probiotics um What is that Jen callan pectin gala pectin right? Yeah, and so there's lots and lots of medical things that we keep in the box I always have gas x um, I often um No matter So much anymore because I don't travel as much but I always had a bloat kit straight up look kit in my um med box an entire box that was Leaved in my motor home that was designated for medication So in that box there would be um some cephaloxin some amoxicillin some metroniasol and Just a couple days worth in terms of if I've got an emergency I need to deal with something right away Before I can get to a veterinarian if you're able to do that. That's a really super great way to go Um have a first aid kit go to vimeo and look up K991 and and there's six sessions of maria and I talking about Your first aid kit what should be in it what you can treat what you can't Etc. Um, so those are all things that I would absolutely have on hand Um anybody else before we start with our doggy? No, I think that's Okay We do have a special guest this evening I was I had to I had to think the long and hard about who was going to be the special guest for tonight But I decided that Everybody's favorite. Yep the uh like like Guests for this evening would be like And uh, he has been a special guest for a number of grooming sessions over the years And because he's so atypical for a sheba. He's my favorite dog to show off because I just love him And because he is an example of what you can do when you start young with these dogs, right? Hi, I love you too. He is Stay this is a 11 year old dog Hasn't been shown in some time he's Pretty good fellow stay he is definitely not a typical sheba So Anyone who's ever met a sheba, you know in a groom shop at a dog show anywhere else Knows that they can be pretty horrible about their toenails And so I'm going to use blade as my demo dog of why the dog doesn't have to be a jackass for their toenails now late and I had many conversations about this over the years And every now and then we have to like look at each other in the eye To discuss how we're going to behave while we're having our toenails done But as you can see we understand this whole process one of the things and again, I worked in a pet grooming So I've worked with a lot of unruly dogs over the years One of the things that I have learned over time When you're trimming your dog's toenails start with the back nails For whatever reason they're just easier for the dogs to deal with When you pick the dog's foot up Don't crank it all the way up here Just because it's more comfortable for you doesn't make it more comfortable for the dog. All right I keep the dog's foot as low to the table as I can And still be able to see it Also this tail doesn't fit me Um, this particular dog does not like a dremel so we're just going to use the clippers because that's what makes him happy And as you can see As you can see This is straight up black magic Because a sheep of it will stand there and hold his little paw up to have you trim his toenails is Against the natural universe And this has come stop. Okay. You want to sit down? Hey, okay. Um, this has come because the breeder is Mars Jones who produced the stock Started with him when he was a puppy And I stopped and I have continued with him Every week since then And he doesn't love it. I mean, you know, kind of every dog will just lie there and Hold their toes out Hey, one more super quick question regarding powder Yes, so when you do that, Ian wants to know when you do the powder for double-coded dog Should that also be being bathed out every day? If you're chalking their legs So Ian you have Laugh hunt I remember I think a finished laugh hunt. Okay. Um, if you're if you're chalking their legs Right and you and you're putting chalk in their legs cholesterol and chalk in the legs Yeah, I would wash that out Even that short so like the short Hair on the front of these legs If you're putting product in there wash it out. All it's going to do is collect or irritate the dog's skin Um, it's just not it's not necessarily a good thing for the dog to be left in for an extended period of time Now I am going to turn your troubles And you're going to be okay And you see the difference between the front and the rear like He's not horrible for his friends, but he's not nearly as quiet for his friends as he is for his room He asks do not try this at home. This is not something you do with every sheep at union This is a dog that I know very very well that I know is not going to come at me And so I I think that you know the thing that people I see so many people get just you know, they see the dog act like this and like oh my god, he's He's stressed out. He's terrified. He's not terrified. He's mad. I don't want to And so if you just talk to him for a minute And move on The dog is not having any more trauma from this than you would have from having your toe fingernails turned Stop stop it doesn't hurt them It hurts them if you cut it too quick. I know he wants to do that That is not our goal But at the same time people Become so concerned That they're going to hurt the dog understandably That their stress makes the dog stressed And so if you'll notice I'm not worried about this and if I'm not worried about it He's not worried about and that's something that we can all Take as an example When we're working with our dogs I think you all know Oh, she's a We all know that if we turn the toenail over Even if it's a black nail We can see where the quick ends and Where it's safe to turn the nail without Cutting into the quick and hurting the dog It's like looking at a canoe And the part that doesn't have the quick Will be empty and the part that does have the quick Will have what looks like, you know flush in there. So avoid that part Helps if you turn the toenail over and you can see that Okay, so there you go black magic Yes, you can trim even a sheba e news I want to talk a little bit. How are we doing on time? We've got seven minutes any other questions any other questions while we get started doing some brushing here Remember I said we don't brush dry hair And well lady has not had a bath Or say He's a super tidy dog. So we're just going to go with he's pretty clean And I always have done anytime I'm brushing any dog. I start at the bottom and work my way up And he's not ready to drop coat yet, but he's getting there You can see the little bit of tufting And so if we want to talk about double-cutted breeds for a minute We can talk about line brushing. We can talk about how to get a dog to move through its coat blow or Even just roll their coach um, all of which can be done So akitas Shebos any of your double-coated breeds If you are campaigning them if you just can't bear the thought Losing a month or two to no coach You can essentially Roll the coat and so you'll notice what I'm doing here. If you can see it, I think I'll try it on this side So we're doing sort of a modified version of line brushing, right? Left hand pulls up right hand brushes down The important part is that you have got to got to got to got to brush to the skin And so the way that you can do that is if you pull the hair with your hand And then brush In the direction that the hair grows and you have to look and see the skin And this is equally important and you can see spring is coming. Can you see it? For those of you who know double-coated dogs spring is coming. It's almost here There's hair in my brush um This is also equally important when you are washing And drying your dog You have to get the dog wet to the skin You have to get the shampoo to the skin You have to rinse to the skin And you have to dry to the skin We just had the podcast this this week with marty yesterday's podcast Was about skin And how you get hotspots And the way you get hotspots Is that you don't rinse to the skin And you don't dry to the skin And so it's really important to practice right Getting to your dog's skin when you're brushing No matter what tool you need to use so start with a pen brush Now i'm going to take a comb And i'm going to do the same thing pull the coat back And pull the comb through you can see i'm still getting coat right So this is often more than just a single process If you're attempting to roll coat in these double coated breeds You're going to go through the entire dog With a pen brush And you're going to go through it with a comb you can see this right And you're going to pull all of this coat as soon as you start to see it coming And i you can see these little tufties right little bits of tufties tells me it's coming off So if i'm going to do this i'm going to do this every single day i'm going to start I'm going to try and roll the coat i'm going to start with a warmer than average bath Most baths that we give our dogs should be tepid at best Preferably not ice cold, although we've all done it And definitely not hot hot tepid like Cooler than your bath water tepid And if i want to start a dog getting the coat out starting to roll it in a double coated dog i'm going to give it a warmer than average bath i'm going to force dry it Into the skin Brush while i dry And then i'm going to get them on the table I'm going to have the spray bottle of water in the refrigerator. I'm going to take ice cold water As his brush out of spray Every single day and every single day i'm going to go through every inch of this dog And i'm going to get out Whatever coat is coming out because you guys need to remember New coat cannot come in Until the old coat is gone And so if you're rolling the coat in a double coated dog You've got to get this crap that's trying to fall out out And the sooner and faster and more consistently you do that The more effective Your results are going to be In rolling that coat and keeping them from going to As we say in shiba's coyote ugly Which legitimately happens Even blade In his day has been coyote ugly.
