With some coats, it will prevent the build up of knots and mats, which left effects the coats ability to perform its natural function.

Some dogs settle into been groomed almost straight away. These are the ones seen in the demonstration clips on the internet! This is not always the case. From experience we know they learn in the same way they learn to sit or fetch etc. When you learn to groom your own dog, you can teach them what they need to know. BOOK HERE
