I use Hartz puppy shampoo (gentle jasmine fragrance). I love the smell but after a day or two his hair just doesn't look as fresh and clean as it did when I first washed him. But this may be because i'm training him outside. I also brush his coat in the evening before bed. I spray his coat with simple solutions coat conditioner spray first and then brush unitl its dry.
Will it confuse him if I start paper traing him now? I don't want to have a major set back. But with the kids starting back to school, and the conflicting scedules between my husband and I i'm not sure what best for him at this point
