Also when adding shampoo, don't just pour it over the back, instead pour into hand or alternatively onto the side hairs. Use a downward motion of your hands, not a circular one, to avoid entangling the hair. After shampoo the hair should be literally squeaky clean. Always as you say use a conditioner. I use Biogroom Oatmeal condition on head facial furnishings, and other conditioners on main coat. Also play with the dilution rates, to see what works best for your dog's coat, which might change over time, and in different seasons.
Also for show final conditioner rinse out with cool water not hot. |
Lol, Joey's breeder told me this too. She said the main cause of dry flakey skin in not rinsing enough, and boy does she check his skin when I bring him in for a grooming! Great tips, and an important reminder about dilution if using Biogroom, as it's super concentrated, and you should always mix it with water before using. Those little samples will go a long way!
