New Here? Start With This


If you keep finding knots behind the ears after you thought you'd brushed properly, this guide was written for you.


The idea is simple. Instead of brushing the whole coat every evening, you check the three places where tangles tend to start first: behind the ears, under the collar and where the legs rub. You check them in the same order, notice what came before a tangle, and fit short checks into the week you actually have.


You'll also learn where home care has a limit. An early tangle may be handled gently. A tight mat is a stop sign: you leave it alone and contact your groomer.


What you get, in one PDF:

  • The guide, seven chapters on checking, handling, scheduling and talking to your groomer

  • The Three Zone Evening Check, a checklist for the three prone areas

  • Between Appointment Coat Notes, a worksheet you can bring to your groomer


Within two weeks, you'll have a repeatable coat check and brushing schedule that fits your week. The guide doesn't promise a tangle free coat or replace professional grooming.
