Brush Stroke Movement

Use a slicker brush to line-brush; the motion for this is the pull and pat. Pat the coat with the full pad of the brush and then pull away from the skin. With each stroke your wrist will remain in a neutral or straight position, and the motion should be light and gentle. Do not move onto the next section of hair until the brush stroke glides smoothly and the skin at the seam line is seen. Let your hands feel the coat density levels, and if an area feels heavy or thicker you will need to pay special attention to it with the brush or comb.
• Lightly mist the coat with an antistatic product or water while you brush. When you have finished, each strand of the hair should float freely about the dog as it moves.
