      Brush the dog on a daily or regular basis. Brushing removes loose hair that the dog eventually sheds. With brushing you remove a lot of the dog hair before it falls out and makes its way into the air.

      Vacuum the floors regularly. The vacuum uses suction to suck all dander, hair and other particles that can end up in the air. A vacuum with a bag may be old-fashioned, but when removing it, none of the contents of the bag re-enters the air.

      Turn on a HEPA air purifier. HEPA filters are able to capture large particles like dog hair. Air purifiers clean the air by removing all kinds of particulates that end up floating in the air. Air purifiers help to reduce the amount of indoor air pollution.
