Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Have you considered going to a self serve dog wash and using their higher pressure water and dryer?
I also feel you are washing your dogs too often. You can give them dermatitis if you wash too often, they also will smell worse if you bathe too often.
I would google for your breeds how often they should be bathed. For instance, it's recommended that a GSD be bathed every 3-4 months. Some dogs can be bathed once a month.
Desshedding active ingredients are omega 3, fatty acids and vitamin e.

Thank you. I looked back at our calendar and we do take them to a Tractor Supply where they have the dog wash stations.
We actually wash them about once a month or less. It just feels like more often. Lol
Thank you for the recommendation on the diy shampoo and conditioner.
Tractor Supply has dog washing stations, is that a common thing?
It is in ours.
