Confused about the Slicker brush after watching grooming video - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I will tell you from experience.....I used a slicker brush in the beginning with Teddi because that's what I had used with my poodle. One day I thought Teddi was getting fatter (like her shoulders were getting broader) and I brought her in to get groomed and they said she was completely matted under her. So.....she had to get shaved. She was this little body with a big head (see picture). So now we use the gold pin brush from Chris Christiansen and love it.

When you use combs do you damp the hair as well?

Do a google search. I get mine through Amazon.com

I googled Isinis brushes and there are lots of different kinds. May I ask which exact one you use? Thanks

Darlene, I think I have the same grooming video you bought and I could not watch the woman working with the slicker brush on the dogs' faces. I had to turn it off.

I tried a small slicker on Teddy when his hair was going through changes, but I found working with a rat tail comb much more effective. I still use the rat tail to carefully break up tight tangles.

My favorite tools are the ISINIS brush (learned of it from Mary) and the CC Buttercomb for face/legs. I gave my father one of the brushes and it cured the cowlicks in his silver hair.

I found certain parts of the video bothered me too, I just thought the groomer was a little to rough with little yorkies!

Kind of OT, but when I saw the picture of this brush I realized this was what my mother used to brush my hair when I was a little kid...I had (have) a sensitive head and really thick hair and this was the only thing we could use without me ending up in tears. One day, we lost it and we were in a panic until it was found. It was a good brush...I think I may have to get one of these for my dog now! Thanks for sharing.

I got the same video! I swear, you felt as if the woman didn't even like dogs!

I have another video that is so much better, while she does use a slicker, she is much more detailed and explains things so much better and she is calm and kind with the dog.

Here is the link if anyone is interested.
