How to groom a dog with curly or wavy hair - grooming demonstration

Learn how to #groomacurlyhaireddog the expert way - in the video demonstration from European grooming champion Jitka Krizova. Keeping a dog with a curly or wavy coat in top condition does require some effort.
But Jitka's shows how to apply her prize-winning grooming tips on miniature poodle, Barney. The techniques used for #goomingapoodle also apply to dogs with similar coats such as Bichon Frise, Bedlington Terriers, Irish Water Spaniels and Kerry Blue Terriers.
Curly and wavy coat types require a lot of work when it comes to grooming.
Other breeds with coats like Barney’s include Bichon Frise, Bedlington Terrier, Irish Water Spaniel and Kerry Blue Terrier. So the grooming techniques are similar.
Brushing always should be firm and gentle, because we don’t want to cause dogs discomfort and skin irritation. Grooming is a vital part of looking after your dog.
Miniature Poodle Barney’s curly hair tangles easily and has a tendency to become dry. Using a leave in conditioner before brushing will make the job much easier.
You have to make sure when you brush the coat you go right down to the skin and remove all the dead hair and mat.
For this type of coat a soft slicker brush is best. Gently work from the ends out first, making sure there are no mats or small tangles.
Slicker brushes are available at any pet shops, and it’s very easy to brush the coat.
The technique I’m using we call line brushing. With your left hand you hold up all the hair and gentle part and slide with your slicker brush. This way you make sure you brush the coat right down to the skin.
Curly and wavy haired dogs require 15 minutes of daily brushing to keep their coats in good condition.
We have to start when the puppy’s really small, about eight-nine weeks old when it arrives in your home. They get used to it easily and it makes a nice bond between you and your dog.
