I think you can be reeeeeeaaaally gentle and slow on the matts. I use conditioning spray and a flea comb and pull them apart one hair at a time. Thor doesn't even matt all that much, this is something I do every one or two weeks. I can't imagine 2-3x per day!

Thor needs a long puppy coat to keep him from looking completely pitiful and rat-like.

Yes, cottony coat for sure. I try to go really really slow, but little stinker doesn't sit still! I tell her that if she would just hold still it wouldn't hurt, but she doesn't understand what I am saying Maybe I will try when she is really really tired and not able to put up a fight. I don't do her entire coat at one sitting. I space it out over 3 or so times a day. Face one time, belly next, and then legs at different sittings. I just feel bad when she gets a knot and I have to brush it out. I took her to the groomers today so I have a fresh start and I bought a stainless steel comb that they use per their recommendation...so I guess I'll see how that works.
