In order to manage coat shedding for your Australian Cattle Dog, you will have to brush him on a regular basis. Most Cattle Dogs will shed their coats twice a year. However, the Cattle Dog is what is referred to as a “double-coated” breed. The undercoat is short, soft, and dense. It acts as a weatherproofing blanket.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the breeder from whom you purchased your Australian Cattle Dog<\/em><\/span><\/a> will have begun to accustom the puppy to grooming just as soon as there was enough hair to brush.<\/p>\n
Investing in a grooming table that has a non-slip top and an arm and noose can make all of these activities infinitely easier. These tables are available at pet shops and it is important to choose a table with a height that allows you to stand or sit comfortably while you are working on your dog.<\/p>\n
We use a grooming table that has an “arm” and a “noose.” The noose slips around the dog’s neck when it is standing and keeps the dog from fidgeting about or deciding it has had enough grooming.<\/p>\n
Do not attempt to groom or attend to your dog’s health care while you and your dog are sitting on the floor. You will spend most of your time chasing the dog around the room and Australian Cattle Dogs, particularly, will simply wander off when they feel they have had enough of your attention.<\/p>\n
Invest in a good stiff bristle or wire brush, a steel comb, and animal nail clippers. You will be using this equipment for many years so buy the best equipment that you can afford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
