Answer 1

Generally you brush in the direction that the coat grow or with the coat. But if you are brushing a dog in the springtime when it is blowing coat you brush against to get the under coat out and then brush with the coat.

Answer 2

The key to answering your question correctly is knowing what breed you have. Brushing of any dog depends on coat type. Brushing a beagle requires a different technique than brushing a bichon. :-)

Answer 3

You usually should brush it in the direction of the hair growth.If not you could pull the dogs hair and hurt it...

Answer 4

Brush with the fur not against the fur or it will probably hurt. If your dog is long-haired then you should start at the bottom and move up.

Answer 5

With the direction unless you want to fluff the coat - the go against, but gently.

Answer 6

comb in the direction your dogs hair grows, just like you'd brush your own hair.

Answer 7

you didn't say what kind of dog it is. different coats require different brushes. but I think usually you brush from front to back.

Answer 8

if the hair grows ddown brush it downwards not the opposite

Answer 9

I don't open websites, but you should brush backwards then forward, clean brush & repeat.

Answer 10

with or it'll hurt your dog
