Instructions
Removing Knots
Use your fingers to find and isolate the knot. Gently pull any loose fur away from the knot, and separate the knot into sections, fanning it apart with the fingers.
Brush the poodle's pompom gently in an outward motion with the slicker brush. This will remove small knots.
Remove remaining larger knots by opening the scissors and inserting the bottom blade beneath the knot, with the sharp edge facing away from the poodle's skin. Pull the scissor blade through the knot, separating it into smaller sections, rather than cutting it out.
Brush the pompom in the direction of the hair growth to remove the remaining pieces of knotted fur.
Comb out the poodle's pompom to be sure all the knots are removed.
