Presentation
Goldens, and Aussies, need some regular care of their fur coat(at least day yes, day no).
Below you can read some hints how to keep the hair in neat conditions.
Baths, I think only once a month should be enough.
Material
The brushes and combs are essential for the removal of the sub-hair and release the fur.
These are the 2 scissors that I use to trim the hair and keep it strait.
Both scissors and combs must be careful handled to not hurt the dog.
The best way to train a dog is to praise and reward a lot and the experience will be good for both dog and owner.
1º Step - Bath
Personally I like to give bath in the bathtub with warm water.
If I am in the summer I first use bug shampoo, then normal shampoo, and finally soft conditioner. In winter I only use normal shampoo and soft conditioner.
The most important is to pass a lot of water to clean all shampoo and conditioner traces.
2º Step - Drying
After drying well with the towel dry well with drier. The Aussies are dry brushing horizontally back and the Goldens are dry brushing vertically down.
There are some products on the market that give brightness / smell to the hair. I apply this before to be well dried and then I finish drying.
Nest I will resume some steps to trim the hair.
3º Step - Trim ears
The ears I choose to trim inside cutting the long hair, around to get I neat look and behind to bee neat with the collar.
