The method of combing is to start from the feet, from the bottom to the top, from the tail to the head, and brush layer by layer in order, so that most of the knots can be untied. If the dead knots are difficult to untangle, you can sprinkle some points on the hair to untangle. Cream, and comb the knots with a knotter.

After finishing the bristles, comb with a beauty comb (wide and narrow tooth comb).

After the wide-tooth comb is finished, use the narrow-tooth comb again. Until the coat is smooth and free of tangles.

To clean the ears, first pour an appropriate amount of ear hair powder into the ear hole, and then gently pierce the ear hole, so that the ear hair powder is fully in contact with the ear hair and the ear canal, so that the ear is clean. It will become astringent and easy to pull out. When pulling out, the action should be fast and steady. Sometimes the ear hole is very small, and it can be done with ear hair pliers if the finger cannot pull it out. Be sure to hold the dog's head securely with the ear pliers. The next step is cleaning. First, use ear hair forceps to make a cotton swab, dip it in an appropriate amount of ear washing water, first clean the dog's external ear canal, and then clean the deep part that can be seen.

Turn on the hair dryer and use a wire brush to dry the hair from the head. Pay attention to the gestures. The surface of the wire brush should be perpendicular to the skin instead of parallel, otherwise it will hurt the skin and cause a large area of bleeding. When pulling hair, you should pull it layer by layer, in the order of head→body→extremities, and other parts that have not been brushed should be covered with an absorbent towel to keep them relatively moist.
