Dogs may dislike brushing for a variety of reasons. However, this is a problem for both the owner and the animal. In the article, we will share effective recommendations for combing a dog that is not used to it.

Choose a Good Combing Brush

As a rule, dog combs are universal and suitable for all types of coat.

However, sometimes an animal can have very delicate and sensitive skin that needs special, gentle care.

In this case, choose a brush with the softest bristles.

Consult with a specialist before choosing a comb for your pet.

Be careful when brushing

It's likely that your dog had an unpleasant experience with a comb when it was in pain. Therefore, try to be as careful and accurate as possible when combing out.

Do not pull the tangles with force, use special tools or seek help from a specialist.

Careless movements can injure the skin and cause severe pain to the animal.

Reward your dog with treats

Treat your pet with your favorite treats while brushing.

This is a good way to retrain your dog with positive reinforcement.

In addition, combine combing with strokes and massage techniques.
