Why Brush or Groom Your Border Terrier Dog?
Brushing also serves to help to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shiny coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore lessen the occurrence of bathing.
Brushing and grooming of your Border Terrier dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your pet dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.
How Often to Groom Your Border Terrier
Dogs with short coats normally require much less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.
Some very short-haired dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.
Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
