I have a Rottweiler and German Shepard mix she hates to be brushed also. I give her a rawhide or a treat that will take awhile to chew up and eat. The furminator works awesome on her

I have a Rottie that didn't like brushes and combs, tried to bite them every time. Tried the furminator and he didn't even flinch. There are different Furminators for long and short hair, small, large and giant dogs. It was worth the price. Removes massive amounts of hair.

If she doesn't like to to be brushed or combed, she might not like it. It is more comb than brush. It works wonderfully though so if you can get her to get used to it it'd be great for her, especially in the hot months. I'd try using a small "people" comb to "train" her so she's used to the sensation, then get the Furminator when you think she's ok with it.

I would most definitely give it a try. My Sheltie didn't like being groomed, but I have no problem using this product. I sing its praises to all my dog-owner friends. You'll save money on grooming bills.

I imagine it would. You don't have to push down or apply any pressure so it's more like "petting". You can use the Furminator with slow strokes. Worth a try because I imagine your dog has quite an undercoat!

well regardless of how it works Dogs as a rule don't like being brushed. It took a little coaxing and man handling the first time I brushed Kirby the dog but now when he see's the brush he knows whats happening and just endures. (his eyes still say he doesn't like it). First brushing resulted in a bag of fur ( and this is a LAB!). Weekly brushings have yielded less hair but my house is much, much, much less fur covered! Would have paid double for this product. WARNING: when brushing over less meaty areas (like the legs) be careful...doesn't feel too good if you use the same tension as the back areas. Kind of like when a hair dress rakes over your ears with a comb....ouch. You will develop a plan of attack and will be successful!

Maybe...we have a corgi/aussie X (longer fur) and works great. We stopped at our local PetSmart groomer with the dog and they let us try out a couple different grooming tools, which is how we ended up buying the undercoat rake.

Yes, it helps with any short haired dog. Although I would pair it with a furminator brush for best results.

Our dog is more along the lines of a hound so while she sheds, her hair is not very long and isn't really a problem. However, after each use of the vac and beater brush I make it a habit to check and if necessary, clean off the brushes.

Luckily, I own a Siberian Husky named Luna. I just tried it out on her, and it cuts her hair easier than a hot knife through butter. As you can kind of make out in the picture these scissors aren't great at performing extremely detailed cuts though. Think of these like a paint brush that paints broad strokes as opposed to precise touch-ups.

I only have a short haired dog and it de-sheds a lot of her hair... have to do it a couple times a week, not FurMaster's fault... just the dog.

It didn't work well with my short haired beagle-boxer. She actually sheds even moremember after her shower.

I'm sorry, we have a standard poodle and it seems to work well on her. I think the thought of one of the other clipper users is best, to go to a groomer who works with cats for a suggestion.

Does she have long hair? I would be concerned that it might hurt a little and scare her. All I know is I got it for my long haired himalayan kitty and she always tries to get away when I comb her. I am going to try the ShedMonster one instead. I really think it might work better for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would say probably. Although it is a cat brush, we use ours on both our Siamese and our Yorkshire terrier. The cat loves it, dog not so much. BUT, YMMV. Our Yorky has thinner hair and perhaps more sensitive skin. As this brush has been criticized by some as having sharp bristles, it might be great, it might not. If I had a Pomeranian, I would certainly try this product and see. If your doggie likes it, you will be very happy with the results that this brush will deliver. It is a great brush.

I have a husky, Product listed here is fake, real furminator works well, but honestly. .. Far cheaper products will work just as well, is nothing amazing, grab an undercoat rake and something easy to yank hair out of for a brush and call it a day, the eject hair Button is a nice concept but it just doesn't work, you end up pulling it out anyway ,

Absolutely. I have a black lab mix and the comparison to her on/off her Grizzly Salmon Oil is astounding! When taking it, her coat gets softer, she sheds much less, and stays cleaner longer. A must have for any dog. I don't give praise unless it's due, and this stuff works. Period.

My only experience is with my lab mix. She sheds a lot but does not have a long coat. The large brush works for my dog but not sure how the slicker brush would do for the long coat.

Depends on your dog's coat. I have a lab and a german shepherd. While the lab has a double coat, it is not the correct brush for her. The german shepherd, has a longer double coat and it's perfect. I use it first and followup with a wider toothed comb to pick up the loose fur, then a run outside to let the rest of the fur fly. It would not be good for shorter coated dogs like a dalmatian or beagle.

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

I think it´s better if you get a long furminator hair brush. The dual brush is intended for dog with short fur.

I have a husky and it helped tremendously. She was really unruly. Husky usually run away. It keeps her around the house. We only has to use tone now. She stays around the house now. I high recommend it.
