Line brushing is how you actually get through a thick or double coat instead of just making the surface look neat. Start by lightly misting the coat with a conditioning or detangling spray. This helps protect the hair and prevents breakage. Then use your hand to part the coat... so you can see the skin. You’re going to brush the hair below that line first. Using a slicker brush, gently brush from the skin outward in small sections. This is what is really going to make a difference with shedding because you are making sure the undercoat is getting brushed when you are able to see that clear line of skin. Once that layer is clear, move up, make another part, and repeat. You work your way up one layer at a time instead of brushing everything at once. After each section, go back through with a metal comb. If the comb doesn’t glide through easily, that area still has tangles. This method helps remove trapped undercoat, prevents mats from forming close to the skin, and keeps airflow to the coat. It also reduces breakage and helps your dog stay more comfortable — especially in thicker areas like behind the ears, the pants, chest, and tail. It takes a little longer than a quick brush-over, but it’s helps keep a double coat healthy. #linebrushing #doggroomingtips #doublecoat #australianshepherd #dogcoatcareshow more
