Well You would be so right to Disagree if I suggested Brushing DRY! I did neglect, however to say that you needed to include Ice on Ice when Brushing at all times.... Its just a give in for me.... I never brush dry!!! I always brush with Ice on Ice... Hence a damp coat... And I never bathe with tangles, Matts, or debries in their hair. It just makes matters worse! I will say it again... Do not bathe a dog with Tangles, it will only tighten them.... Remove them before the bath! Yes... Brush before you bathe. So what if your going to wash a little product down the drain??? Big deal... Its detangler... Use it to detangle... its also a coat protectant... so apply more after bath and protect the coat.... If you want a long and healthy coat it takes work!! Its an investment, both in time and money... Daily grooming!! I spend hours on my girls...
As far as which brush....
The gold series are awesome!!! I have the 20mm and the 27mm.... My girls are small... 3 to 4lbs... the 20mm is ok for Pixie who has fine hair and Paris who has thick hair and more of it the 27 mm is better, it has longer pins... the 27mm is also better cause its a but bigger for her as she is the bigger of my two girls!
Their slicker brushes are great too!!! And I highly reccomend their face and feet buttercomb!!! Its awesome for combing out their... Face and feet!!! lol The Ice on Ice Concentrate will last you two years!!! Even if you use it daily!!! Its an awesome deal!!! its so worth it!!! My daughter even uses it in her own hair!!! its an awesome detangler!! When we go swimming... we all use it in our hair! lol its really a great product!! Its a great protectant!
Anyway... good luck!!! I know its tough when they fight you!!! Its not like we are out to torture them right?????
