The Severely Matted Dog Dilemma | How To Properly Brush Your Dog 

Sending this to my mom immediately. Her doodle usually has to be shaved by the groomer to get the mats out. I think all she uses is a wire brush - obviously that’s not good enough! These tips are so helpful, thank you!

Woww, this is the most well behaved doodle I’ve ever seen. Good job too, big teddy bear!

I Love how you say Goodbye to every dog in a deep voice! Lol it's the best trademark!

Have a Maltese that has a longer coat. Great information. I’ve noticed that wearing coats/sweaters in the winter 🥶 also leads to more knots. Only wear when needed. Also checking his armpits for tangles.

Great job explaining, I hope this helps lots of people AND puppers

Mr. Logan , ( my first dog when I was 5 , was a beagle named Logan ) ... Can I say , your love of dogs is so evident . You make me laugh . Just got a new wonderful American bulldog. My 14 year old shnowser died last year. Dogs make life worth living . What you do is special. Thanks . Tom .

Thank you for your great reminders and advice on maintaining healthy beautiful skin and fur on our dogs. You’re a natural teacher too!

Dude that dog is so chill. Love the ending. I talk to my kids like that. 🤓

I LOVE this video Logan, super informative (im a dog groomer in training) all these videos help me be better at what I do😍 you’re the best & don’t ever stop xoxo

Thank you so much for this video! I have a goldendoodle and grooming her is a nightmare. We have one of those double sided brushes (the one you told us not to use) and “Dog Dematting and Detangler Spray Leave-In Conditioner”

I have a cavoodle (cavapoo). My groomer always compliments how my dog is one of the only matte free dogs she grooms. Also make me sad tho. Daily brushing. I work full time. I’m a parent. There is no excuse to not brush your dog properly and regularly

Thank you for this video, fairly new doodle mom. My boy has a cut coming up next week and I know he will need to be shaved. Moving forward I now know how to properly groom him, Thanks 😊

Harley is the goodest girl! She was so well behaved and is so beautiful. ❤

I don't even have a dog and I watch these vids all the time

Extremely informative, despite that I don't own a dog lol. Us humans with wavy and curly hair use detangling sprays before combing, so this totally makes sense for dogs. Harley is such a lovely dog! Great job Logan! 😍😍

Omg when I tell you that we had a shih tzu that was so matted he was like a blanket! I had only saw him once in the 14 months I've been there. And it was really early on when I first started. This poor baby had his inner thighs so matted it was tugging on his groin. I wanted to cry for him. My mentor tried to get the owners to bring him more but they bitch about having to pay the 58 dollars every time. She could very easily charge more.

A good, stiff slicker goes through matting. I have a soft bristle slicker that I now only use to dry. It's worthless on mats. Also. Listen to the sound when brushing. A good slicker "talks." Oh,when owners say they're brushing their dog or cat, it's usually with a pin brush which is only good when light brushing is needed- like in the show ring or for show poodles to keep the fluff. Fifty years showing & 40 years grooming has taught me this.😊

I’m get a standard poodle in a couple weeks! I’m so excited and nervous 😬

I'm not a fan of brushing so I get my poodle cut short. It's that simple. If you want long hair then daily brushing is required

This is the best behaved, least crusty doodle I've ever seen.

Harley is so well behaved. She is adorable. Well done to her parents. As always love the content, Logan! :)

I dearly want a standard poodle so thank you for the amazing advice to keep them happy and healthy 🥰🐩

Excellent information.

Your love 💕 for dogs is wonderful. I love dogs. Just got an American bulldog . Loveable. 🌈

I have a Springer x Poodle. It took me a year of failed attempts to keep her coat matt free. I had the wrong tools and was using the wrong technique. Logan, thank you for your lessons and entertainment. You make a difference for dog families.

You are AWESOME at what you do!!! ✨✂️🐶✨

Great advice, thank you! My poodle loves water and loves to get brushed. I need the brushing spray asap.

Love you Logan !! You’re so sweet. I’m old enough to be your grandma and I love your channel. “Bye Logan”

cant wait to write this url on all of my pet parents report cards 💚🐩

Your videos just make me smile!!

Harley looks exactly like the Goldendoodle I rescued out of the road in November. Frankie's first spa day is on Thursday. We have been brushing her since she's been here and will continue between haircuts. Thank you so much for the tip about the spray. It's on my shopping list. I can't wait for her to get all that hair shaved out from between her paws! My dog's hair isn't curly like this dog's. It's wavy and goes in all different directions. I've never seen anything like it and it will be interesting to hear what the groomer has to say. Thank you so much for the educational video. I'll be saving it to reference in the future.

Getting a lot a great tips from your videos. Thank you for all that you are doing.

Logan, Your narration was RIGHT ON THE MONEY, as evidenced by the results on this big fellow !!

She's so cute what a wonderful job as always. Thanks for the tips

Excellent video - I have a standard poodle and have had poodles for 30 years - I do groom but have never been taught - and I’m that same client that didn’t know - thank you!

Hey your the best grommer and thanks for making this funny vids

When you shook Harley's paw to get the loose fur out i died from cuteness (⁠ ⁠˶⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ꁞ⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠˶⁠ ⁠)

My sister just refuses to brush her golden collie, because "the dog is afraid of the brush". So yeah that could be so, so help her see the brush time as something rewarding with treats etc, but no she doesn't want to do any work. Everytime I see the dog she is covered in mats or shaved to the skin. I hate it, she has such a beautiful coat and doesn't deserve to be shaved.

I’m a summer girl for sure!! Harley sure is a good pup!!

Omg I love this Logan! You’re amazing

Watching this but I have an American Staffordshire terrier 😂 ❤ it just calms me so much watching you work on the dogs ❤ I miss my long haired boy 🐕 he was a border collie and when he had loose hairs those patches would change colour from black to brown/grey and that’s how I knew it was time to brush him 🐶 my American girl misses him so much, we are thinking of adopting an adult/senior dog in need 😊

As someone with curly hair, I totally co-sign this. Although I only use a comb, I never comb dry. It helps reduce breakage from the little tangles.

This is a great super nonjudgmental video for brushing. I'll be sending it to all the doodle owners I know who have questions about brushing and why. And most don't know about the spray, you're so right.

Thank you Logan! Great video tutorial! I have a standard poodle puppy who gets brushed every day to every other day and she needs it. These tips will help make it easier to keep her mat-free. It’s a lot of work because she has length on her legs. However, she is a doll and is learning the routine. Thank you again!!

Such a good girl.💖 Your clients love you. Personally I brushed my dog every night after his final walk. It was easy maintenance that way. Happy holidays.

People needed this!!I'm proud of you

Aww that doggo is so fluffy

This was so informative and helpful!! The brushing spray was completely new to me. I’m hopefully getting my own standard poodle soon, so I’ll add it to the list!

Awesome tutorial! I’ve always began with a spray, have the comb but not that particular brush. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

Thank you for all the great advice 😀. I'm going to order the spray right now.

You are such an artist!

My Charlie sit down on me… pretty much goes limp. I take him every two weeks for his groomer appointment while we work on brushing at home. I love the videos ❤❤

Love watching you work. Merry Christmas from the Northwoods of Florida. No snow here Logan.

*You’re so young and talented.* 👏🏾

Yes yes yes! I’m a groomer. The most frustrating thing is when someone brings in a matted dog and after I educate them of the pain it causes and how to prevent it; they come back 6 months later with the dog matted again!! Aaahhh!!!!

Logan, what an awesome, awesome video!! 😊 As I am a pet stylist myself, you did an awesome job explaining how important it is to brush your dog and you actually showed the tools you use. And explained how to use those tools. I am going to save this video and show clients it. So, they can watch it. It is a very good tool to show clients. I try to explain to clients what they must do to keep up on the coat of the dog. Most people r visual learners. So, I can tell them about this video or send them the video. Logan, YOU ARE doing such a BEAUTIFUL job with grooming your dogs. You, r a joy to watch. And am so happy I found you. I groom a st. Bernard standard poodle mix named Wilson. I have been grooming him for 2 years now. And I LOVE that dog. His mom brushes him and really does take care of his coat. In between getting groomed. His mom gets it. That she has to brush him to keep me having to shave him down. I LOVE being a pet stylist. It is by far the BEST job I have ever had in my 40 plus years of being in the working world.

I got the doodle a few years ago, I've never had a dog before, and had no idea their coats were such high maintenance so my dogs coat kept getting matted, I had no idea I was using the wrong brush, so thank you this video helps alot

Great job!!!

Aww so cute and thanks for the facts

As s retired groomer thank you Logan you are a great teacher thank you you are spot on no pun intended

I’m trying this on my pup tomorrow. Thank you!

You do such a great job!!!!

You are a great groomer. And Harley is a very good girl!

1st time I've heard of brushing spray. Will have to look for it.

The issues with cross-breeding are many, but I hadn’t considered coat “mixes”. With the mixing of breed genetics you can end up with a dream doodle (like Harley--she’s a sweetheart) or a mixed-up crazy doodle that doesn’t know which way is up. Thank you for the brushing lesson. I don’t have a pup right now, but this is so interesting! Great “new dog baby gift” ideas: brushing spray and the right tools!

Thank you this is good to know.

This is exactly what I needed

Harley was so good & such a stunning cut!!! Thank you for this info video. I did not know about the spray. I have 2 long hair dogs. The spray will make it so much easier. Both are good for brushing since I don't force them to have a full body brushing. What I don't get today, I can get the next time. =)

Thank you so much!

thank you so much, I have GSD, so a good brush, comb and furminator are essential

THANK YOU LOGAN

Harley looks perfect!

You are adorable Logan. Can you talk about pricing in a video? Thanks.

Great video!

Very awesome Video!

Sorry hon Diane here did not mean to come off harshly was a groomer for about 20yrs and somtimes cried because I tried Soo hard to teach puppys people to understand the good happy way to do all this

It’s not that we think going to the barber every 3-4 weeks is too much, it’s just expensive where I live 😢 Thank you for sharing these tips, love to learn more about properly taking care of our poodle (of course we brush her and give a mini cut at home haha) ❤ you did a wonderful job explaining and on the doodle as well!!

Nice groom! ❤

Thank you

Awww cmon look at her just look at her 😂❤❤❤❤❤ You’re a gorgeous good doggie! Yes you are! 😍

Great tutorial!!! What's the best brush out spray that gives the best results?

You do such a good job explaining. We have an Aussiedoodle. And to be honest, getting her to the groomer every 3 weeks or even every 6 weeks is VERY expensive. I am aware that it is a ton of work, so the price is definitely legit. We live in Austria, not sure if it's cheaper in the US. I started grooming her myself the last 4 years (she is 8 now). So I have some experience, but definitely no pro. I was wondering if you could explain a bit more how exactly you groom her. I appreciate your videos. Thanks.

Thx for explaining I have a difficult time brushing my dog because she nips me when I try to

Preach!

Any advice for short coated dogs? What kind of brush and how often?

Thanks Harley & Logan! I have trouble with my Maltese. My fault. 😞

Is that a Wahl Bravura you're using for the paw pads? I love the Bravura.

I can't wait to watch your videos. You're an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing your skills as one of the best groomers I've ever had the pleasure to observe.

I love you videos ❤️

@dogsbylogan as im brushing out this golden retriever... my owners of a very damaged coat (previously shaved diff groomer) retriever. i save his coat and do breed groom ofc but they don't get his hair is damaged and matts easier (softer hair) id love another video babes

She is so Cute Also I subscribed to your channel

Can you please post the brushing spray? Thanks

No lie, I kind of miss the Chicago snow 🌬❄🥶!!

I'm a bit confused at the beginning, yes we should buy a brushing spray or no we shouldn't? and is it a no to that brush because it is short pinned?

Does this method work for long haired cats too? I have two ragamuffins who get terrible mats no matter how much I brush them

I keep my two cockapoos trimmed to a kennel cut but take them for grooming about every 3-4 months (I trim their nails and paws in between). I use a short pin brush but use one hand to push their fur up and then use the other hand to brush the fur back down with the brush; I always see the line of skin where I’m brushing. The groomer showed this method to me, and their coats have been pretty Matt-free. Both my dogs hate me touching their tails with the brush, but I’m bigger than them and can get them into a wrestling hold (verrrry gently and followed with lots of treats and praise). They actually like being brushed and it gets more frequent as their coats get longer - every second day or every day. Thank you for this great info - going to look for a brushing spray the next time I go to the pet stuff store. BYE LOGAN👹‼…❤

We LOVE a well behaved dood!

So I have all those tools. But my Pom only tolerates the metal comb. I do the line brushing with this (lift up each section of hair and comb from root down) He doesn’t seem matted, I’m guessing it’s doing the job, just not making him as pretty/fluffy as the slicker? I do this twice a week but never find any moderate matting. Only a tiny bit in some places. He also goes to the groomer once a month.

Didn't realize I needed a spray ...

Whats the name of that brush or do you have the link where to buy it?
