I read alot about that "Cowboy Magic" on here and looked for it and couldn't find it and bought "Mane & Tail Conditioner"?? I was afraid I was leaving too much soap on her so I have just washed her face w/baby shampoo and rinsed her body and put that conditioner on her the last 2 times I bathed her because she is scratching something horrible?? I have used Frontline on her and it is time to put it on again (2nd time since I have had her) but I have to wait a couple days now because I had her wet yesterday.
With the "Isinis Brush" do you only use that w/blow dryer" or can you use it just to brush her and if so when she is "DRY"?? She HATES the dryer so I have been letting her air dry and trying to comb/brush her when she is wet because I read that if you comb them wet and brush dry that helps?? Well after yesterday when I used the conditioner on her and washed her face w/baby shampoo and tried my best to comb/brush the mats out of her she is matted even WORSE today and she is scratching constantly??
THANKS for all your help ... this site is wonderful. I just took her for her first walk w/her new "silk harness" from here and it worked great!! FIRST time she has actually WALKED and not just laid down and rolled or chewed the leash!! If she walks will that help her nails or will I still have to cut them?? I have a "grooming appointment" for her next week and I thought maybe if I took her that might get her started and then I could keep up with her better after that?? I am hoping her "coat" will be alot easier than this "puppy fur"!!
THANKS AGAIN!!

Cowboy Magic can be found at the Feed Store.
I use the
French Isinis Brush on them when blow drying.
I use a
metal comb from Petsmart to pass through the hair to make sure i got all tangles out.
I use a
Madan Pin Brush to brush Dry coat. I spray the brush with a detangler or finishing spray.
here is the link to the brush with member Ladymom post #14:
