I use wig brushes.... They pull less nad since I stated to use them my dogs don't run at the site of a brush anymore. I was told to use them on my daughter cause kids don't like the pulling either. so I bought them and the dogs love them too. I send one home with every pup I sell as well in their puppy pack. Ask you hair dresser wher to get one in your area. I get mine at sallys beauty supply. Cause I buy bulk the manager there gives me a discount. not much but every little bit helps. I also use equestiran shine on my dogs.... theri website is
www.trail-head.com I love this stuff cause after they dry their coats shine for about 4 days and the smell stays with them for about a week..... till the next bath anyway. I wait till they dry then brush them or blowdry then brush but never at the same time. the shampoo works real well for us. And again I love using it on the pups!
Hope my rambling helped!
