Firstly, I am not a groomer, and have never had any professional training in the skill. I do have dogs and cats of my own that I groom at home, but for any type of trim (except for nails, those I take care of) my boys head off to the shop. I did shave a cat once...but only because my groomers wouldn't touch her. She's too insane, and kept trying to kill them. She wasn't pretty when I was done with her, but she felt better.
What I'm wondering, with all of you experts around here...what is your favorite, or most effective way to reduce shedding?
I recently bought a Furminator after it was recommended to my by one of our friends with two Labs. So far, it's doing pretty good. I've got two large dogs...an 80lb lab, and a 60 lb 5 month old Newf. I know that the Newf is going to shed like mad, and I'm curious as to what you have used that you swear by.
Thanks!
