Any tips on de-tangling? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone have tips on how to detangle thier coat? Buster HAAAAATES being brushed, it is always a struggle. I noticed today that on his side he has a few knots. Any tips on how to get them out without hurting him? Thanks

I use Cowboy magic and work it into the knot if I run across one.

i spray a bit of johnsons detangler on my smallest guy, his enemy is any brush/comb. If i leave them down he marks them straight away!! I give him a doggy massage before and after grooming to relax him !!

I too use Cowboy Magic and Bruce has a somewhat cotton coat, but it makes even him look like pure silk...Until he messes himself up 20 minutes later.

I guess I'll try the cowboy magic. Sounds like it works well.

I use a the detangling solution made by Biolage. It is for people and I always avoid their face and eyes, but this stuff does wonders......... and it isn't a harsh conditioner. It really helps on Shelby & Seymours long coats.
We also use Ice On Ice for in between bathes.

where do you get cowboy magic

diva pup · 08-15-2007, 01:46 PM

Use some cornstarch and rub it in. Then start at the bottom and work up..

I bought Cowboy Magic at our Tractor Supply store. I think Southern States feed store would have it. It is sold where horse produsts are sold.

I like the johnson and johnson's detangler...it works wonders, is CHEAP, and smells really good

Ichabob · 08-15-2007, 04:08 PM

I also use cowboy magic, I also get mine from the feed store, but jeffers web site has it too.. on horses we use WD40 for the bad mats it works great just a little bit.

Thanks so much...I thought I was the only one with this little problem

I use cowboy magic too and make sure I use a good conditioner when gets a bath. I also brush him when he's good and tired.

use a really good leave in conditioner and take your time detangling so there is less pain. Take a small section at a time. Hold the hair by the root to avoid too much pulling.
