grooming
I could not get the fluffy perty look the groomers get and was wondering how they get it. Especially the fluffy look around the face etc. steve |

| Hi Steve,
I have NO IDEA how they do that. It's a great question. I just want to say "Welcome to the forum!" (I think you may now have the record for the longest time between registering and making your first post!) |
Welcome to the forum! 
I don't know all the secrets either, but I do know that one of them involves using a good, professional dryer and brushing them out as you dry them. The dryer is a big part of the straightening and fluffing.  |

I'm not the best with computers or understanding how to do this.... but I am trying! My sheep dog is great and I would send you a picture if I knew how. steve |

| How old is your sheepie? Could be going through the coat transition stage and they do matt quickly when changing. Snapping when grooming could be your technique on the matts and the dog giving you a warning it hurts. When you strike a matt as you are grooming, you need to gently prise/break apart the matted clump with your fingers and a comb without pulling hard on the matt.
When bathing and drying firstly a complete groom through before bathing, no knots or matts. If there is matts when you bathe them it makes the matts tighter/clumpier & harder to break apart and remove. Use a brush to layer through the coat as you are drying them, lifts the coat then and fluffs it out. That also ensures they are throughly dry too right down to skin level & stops the clumping of the undercoat on them, if the undercoat remains damp at skin level, well if just matts up quick.
Welcome to the forum too. |
| It's the blowdryer.... It's a high powered force dryer and blasts the water off the coat. And somehow it brings life to the coat. You could also try adding a little mousse to the hair for body. Just a little though you don't want it to be all goopy. |
