Instructions
Remove shed hair from the undercoat by thoroughly brushing the dog's hair. Most of the hair you can't remove by combing remains in the undercoat until it becomes entangled in the outer coat.
Bathe the dog with a shampoo your groomer or veterinarian recommends.
Dry the dog with a high velocity power dryer.
Hand fluff dry the dog with a pin brush or a slicker brush after the bath. Bernese mountain dogs tend to shed even more hair after bathing.
Give the dog a final comb out.
