I have tried brushing him damp/ dry/ wet... ain't happening..
He doesn't like to be pampered... geezzz
Doesn't he realize that he is a yorkie.. Needs to be pampered..lol
He too has the cotton type coat on his body.. and I sure don't want to get him clipped nakie

He won't wear a sweater and now that it is becoming nice outside he wants to go outside to walk and play ( sighs ) What is a Mom to do???
Any ideas??? oh he is 13 1/2 weeks old now so he should be getting used to the pampered pooch thing...

just keep trying LOL he will eventually get used to it

doesn't mean he will LIKE it...but he will get used to the fact that he has to tough it out

I think this is my fault because I checked out www.Alex'sYorkieCare, and she said never to brush a dry coat. So I posted a question and got many different opinions. Tricksie is 19 months old and I brush her every day and see very little hair and never mats. I brush her before a bath, blow dry and brush again. My groomer has been in the business for a long time and she told me that I was doing the right thing. So many different opinions can be confusing. Tricksie is not a show dog and that makes a difference, also the groomer told me to get silicone spray.

Okay, good. I now know we weren't doing anything wrong! That makes it lessconfusing for all of us!

I am sure that you will get a lot of different opinions. But I am sticking with what I am doing.

I comb Momiji after spray the detangler/deodorant.
She smells good after about 3 minutes????
And I find it easier to comb her when her hair is little wet.
Lose hair aren't flouting around as much either!!!

I use Buddy Splas from Cloud Star to dampen the coat - great product filled with herbs & natural conditioners. I also believe in investing in a good pin brush & comb. I love the chris christensen 20mm gold pin brush.

yes, do not brush a dry coat, you may not realize the damage you are doing to the coat. I think the think about combing out the coat, is not to do it when your dog is immediately from the tub, as you can stretch the hair, causing damage.

go about 1/2 way down the page for some great info: http://www.chrissystems.com/grooming.htm

This is great too - http://www.ytca.org/grooming.html

Mandee, this one even addressed different types of yorkie coats http://members.cox.net/jrogan/care.html

Gizmo's Mom · 03-27-2008, 03:01 AM

Is there a special detangler for dogs or can you use the Johnson's kid stuff?

Thanks so much for the info!! I was going to order a CC brush but a few people on this thread http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=122628 told me about this other one and said they like it as much, if not better than the CC brush and it was considerably cheaper. So I have ordered one of those.

my biggest concern was about the combing part. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong LOL

I am excited to try our new brush

unfortunately, i have never used a cc brush so I have nothing to compare this other brush to...but if I end up not liking it, I will order the cc one

I was told by "dry" coat it means one that has absolutely no conditioner, etc. I put bio-groom on my dogs when I shampoo them, so they don't actually have a "dry" coat. That's what my breeder told me.

there are several products out there. I love Buddy Splash from Cloud Star www.cloudstar.com - you might be able to find it local & I know at least one YTer sells that product line. The little bottle lasts forever because it only takes a little spritz

Chris Christensen has Ice on Ice

Mandee said she uses Paul Mitchell's dog line product

I know there are others. I definitely believe in using a product made for the dog rather than humans

That is good to know because Tricksie always gets a conditioner after a bath.

So excited to be spending "MORE" money, just ordered the cc brush and the ice on ice!!
