Also with the WD 40, try to get it only on the hair (spray on your fingers then apply to the hair), and I wouldn't do more than a couple small spots at any one time, and quickly into the bath, or at least spot wash with regular Dawn dishwashing liquid and rinse well.
Seriously though, for non-bath days, you can also work some cornstarch (some baby powder is made exclusively with CS, some are talc which is not recommended) into the tangle, then tease it out.
And for static, a quick wipe over with a dryer sheet does the trick.
I have all older dogs, and as I got them as adults, we've gone through some trust issues. If I snag a knot, they have tried to bite me... they are all better about it now, especially if I apologize profusely. So not pulling the hair is key. |
Oh yeah, the Duct Tape - it works fantastic as a restraining device, the problem is trying to UNrestrain them
! Just kidding of course
You are absolutely right about the WD-40 thank you for clarifying my suggestion.
And I entirely forgot about cornstarch! It works miracles. What fantastic suggestions have been presented in this thread - Thank you Shellie for starting it. I absolutely need to start a notebook of tips and tricks of the trade.
