Another person said they don't have mentors in England. Do you have one? I'm just curious. You asked for a reason. I understand. Tina's right about what she said. Here's some more info for you.

Use wraps once the coat touches the ground. You should band his face and hiney now. You bath weekly in wraps. If he isn't in wraps, don't wait a week if he's dirty.

If he's peeing on his coat he needs it cleaned.
NO, not every few days.

What products are you using? Are you using an oil or leave in conditioner/protector product now? How are you using it?

If you haven't started using an oil, know this. Some oils require bathing every 4 days. Some once a week. Some are not actual oils but protector or conditioners we refer to as oil.

Never brush him unless you just bathed him. Find a product you like to protect the coat (oil). You can find many good products. Try Vellus, Plush puppy, Pure Paws, Summerwinds, Almond oil, olive oil, Emu, Lanolin. There are many products available. I use a mix.

Band him. Start wrapping when it touches the ground. Get your oil. You may use an oil type of product prior to wraps. Depends what kind and how you use it. Don't put it into the skin, just the coat.
Buy a wrap jacket to use only when hes in wraps. Once you know you have proper size you can buy more. They come in size 1,2 or 3.

Protect the coat. No bows unless you are in the ring.
