Instructions
Command your husky to sit down at your feet. You may opt to brush the husky indoors or outdoors. Some individuals prefer to perform brushing sessions on a kitchen, bathroom or a garage floor or anywhere else where cleaning up afterward will be more convenient.
Remove any harnesses the dog may be wearing. Keep only the collar on with license if you're in an area where the dog may choose to escape.
Start brushing at the top of the head and work your way down the back toward the tail. Continue brushing the dog's body until the brush fills up with hair.
Take the hair out of the brush by grabbing it at the base of the bristles and pull it off working your way around the brush. Start a pile where you will place the excess hair.
Brush under the chin and down the chest region. Continue brushing the entire dog, stopping each time when you need to empty the brush. Don't forget the underbelly of the husky, keeping in mind that the stomach regions may be more sensitive to the ends of the brush than the rest of the body.
Grab pieces of fur that seem to "stick out" further than the rest of the coat as you brush. Tug gently so you do not hurt your husky. Most of the time, these off pieces are pieces of the undercoat that are being naturally shed and will come out in clumps as you gently pull. Place these clumps in the pile of excess hair as well.
Release the dog when you feel you've brushed as much as you can. It is not possible to remove all the excess hair in one brushing. Place the excess hair in a small plastic grocery size bag. Clean the area with a broom or vacuum.
