Last step in our short series of raking double-coated breeds: raking the back and rear! As always, be mindful of your dog's topline, rear, and tailset and what the breed standard calls for. Be sure to also check how the coat is laying after your dog moves (or you mimic that) and also brush and check your work as you go. Note - this is raking. We may sometimes refer to it as 'stripping' when using a stripping knife but for double-coated dogs as shown here, we're raking the coat - just sometimes w

To dry your dog’s coat to look it’s best, having both your dog and yourself standing in the right position goes a long way! Your dog standing properly or “four square” helps you to see where the hair needs to be styled and dried. With consistency and training, this is not a big ask from your dog! You should also position your own body around your dog to aim the hot air and your brushes to dry the coat the proper direction. #dogshow #dogshows #doggrooming #goldenretriever #showdogsofinstagram | L

Quick tips for trimming the hocks and pants on our double-coated breeds! Here Allison demonstrates how we want to trim the hocks in a nice, straight line. You also want to consider how much hair you take off at the bottom of the hock, so as to not make your dog appear sickle hocked, and at either side of the hock to not make your dog appear too wide or too narrow. In this tutorial you’ll see Allison use a straight shear and a thinning shear; if you’re just starting out, you might prefer to only

We may sometimes refer to it as 'stripping' when using a stripping knife but for double-coated dogs as shown here, we're raking the coat - just sometimes with a stripping knife!
