How Well Is Your Dog Groomed?
The reason one should groom his/her Dog is simple - your dog's physical state influences the
way he feels and the way you look at your dog. Extreme cases, where lack of proper care,
cleaning and grooming can directly affect the behavior of your Dog, are not rare.
Proper grooming not only infuses a healthy glow to your dog's appearance, but also helps
develop his self-esteem; while it makes you a very proud parent, when you show off your Dog to
others.
The first step involved in dog grooming is: Brushing!
Brushing has been universally acknowledged by expert dog groomers as the single most
important step in grooming.

Even if you know how crucial brushing is for your Dog's health and well-being, we all know that
there is a right way and a wrong way of doing anything. And without doubt, you would like to do
everything the RIGHT way when it comes to your Dog.
Yes, there's a method to follow while brushing your Dog.
Here are FIVE steps to successfully brushing your Dog that will prove to be extremely
useful:
 Brush against the growth of the hair first with a slicker brush and then with a medium or
wide-toothed comb.
 The slicker brush removes all the loose hair and the comb takes care of the tangles.
 Brush your Dog along the hair growth and make sure you reach the skin as you brush his
way.
 Then use a flea comb over the coat to get the fleas and remove any remaining tangles.
Part the coat and start from the root and then comb through.

2.  If your Dog's paw pads are hairy, then clip them using electric clippers. Do not clip the
hair in between the pads. Clip only the excess hair.
Brush your Dog's hairs to prevent it from matting. Matting can be a very painful experience.
Regular brushing untangles the matted hairs on your Dog's coat. Since this is a risky job to do,
the best way out is to prevent them from forming in the first place. And doing this is simple: just
brush and comb your Dog regularly. If and when you see any mats or tangles, use a detangle
solution and a medium-toothed comb.
Don't wait until your Dog is dirty or matted to introduce him to grooming. That would make him
associate the experience with unpleasantness. Moreover, many dogs learn to see their routine
brushing as an alternate form of petting, i.e. another source of affection and attention.
