BRUSH BONDING

Hollywood Grooming-LE CHEW

BEGGIN FOR A BRUSHIN

 

Brushing your dog is an act of love. 

It feels good and strengthens the bond between the two of you.  Soon your pampered pet will be BRINGING YOU the brush and begging to be primped

  

How do you get them to enjoy being brushed?

Ideally, you should start with puppies (12+ weeks) and present it as a “game”.  However, it is NEVER too late to start your Brush Bonding and it will help your precious pets professional grooming experience and overall quality of life. 

 

Use techniques as singing, touching, talking to your pet to comfort them and make the experience as memorable and positive as possible.  Your pet learns by watching and listening to you, so be an example and let them watch while you brush your hair (with your own brush that is!)

Let them smell the brush and work it into a playful game so they look forward to playing it again.

What Do I Need To Brush Bond At Home?

You will need a pin brush, a steel comb and a slicker brush (See above.) 

Brush with the pin brush from nose to tail. If you find a little mat, comb through it…gently. Use the slicker brush to brush through tougher mats. If you make this brushing a routine, you simply will not get matted fur (thus avoiding shaving).

The benefits of brushing are healthier, shinier fur, increased circulation, distribution of  oils to skin and fur.  Brushing also allows you to examine your pets fur and skin for any irregularities, bugs or skin problems before they become serious issues.

Brush your way to a closer bond with your pet AND a healthier coat and fur.
