GROOMING YOUR BEARDIE
It is best to use a grooming table.
If you don't have one, lay your dog on the floor.
. These are the tools we use.
Baby powder, to freshen up your dog. Coat conditioner, helps coat & skin.
Any good comb, teflon is the best. Slicker brush. Pin brush. Nail clippers.
This beardie is ready to be groomed.
These pictures are shown with the groomer behind the dog. It is best to be in front of the dog.
Teach your dog to lay on it's side. You may start by brushing the tummy.
Move to the elbows. Brush the chest.
Back bush the legs front and back. Use your comb if you find any small knots.
While holding up one leg, bush the inside of other. Back brush feet.
Brush inside of back legs
LINE
BRUSHING THE BODY
While
holding back hair, line brush hair down with the grain of the hair. Never back bush
the body coat. The only part of the coat you back brush is on the legs and feet. If you
back brush the body coat it will break the hair.
Brush top of head. Brush under chin.
Brush side of face. Comb good behind ears.
Pluck hair out of ears. You may use a little powder to make it come out easier.
Cut toe nails. Be sure not to cut into the quick. The quick is very pink.
Bath your dog in any good dog shampoo. Make sure you put cotton balls in the ears to keep water out.
You only need to bath your dog when it is dirty. It is not good to bath a dog too often, as it will strip
out the natural oil from the skin.
Make sure you rinse all the soap out.
.
We use a low heat dryer to dry the dog. A hot dryer can burn a coat.
Bush the coat as it dries. Never brush a real wet coat. Wait until
it is damp. You may towel dry first.
This is our dog after grooming.
You may buy your grooming tools at any pets mart. If you want to use
an online pet catalog go to. Revival animal health at there web site.
