alright how do you keep your dogs hair long-dont they play and get it all tangled up?? I have two one that is 2 and one that is 4 mo's I want so desperately to grow out their coats, but it seems the more they wrestle and play, the more mats thy get, the more I have to cut out and the more the groomer ends up cutting and I end up having to keep them in puppy cuts

any suggestions? I know, daily brushing, is your first suggestion, I'm sure, but any other ideas that seem to help keep the mats out for playful little boogers?

thanks!
I'm checking the grooming section now for the suggestions on products.
