Briard Dog Grooming Instruction - Brushing Hair and Coat
Most dog's hair and coats need some attention. The Briard dog grooming instruction for caring for your dog's hair or coat is as follows:

  • The Briard has a long, coarse, dry coat that tends to mat and tangle very easily, therefore, it is very important to comb / brush their hair on a daily basis
  • Try using a detangling spray to help reduce the amount of tangles
  • Start at the head of your puppy or dog, press gently with one hand to hold hair in place whilst carefully brushing through the hair, working through any knots
  • Use a pin brush or a slicker brush to comb/brush through the coat
  • Grooming should form part of your dog or puppy's daily routine in order to keep up with the maintenance, appearance and health of their coat

Briard Dog Grooming Instruction - Bathing your Dog
Bathing your dog is very important for its health and hygiene. During bathing check your dog for lumps, bumps, parasites, fleas and skin irritations or allergies. Briard Bathing instruction is as follows:

  • Wash your dog or puppy when they are dirty or smell!
  • Gather bathing equipment and place bathing tools and shampoo near to bathing area
  • Place a mat and towel next to bath
  • Check the water temperature of the bath - ensure that a minimal amount of water is used
  • Gradually place the dog in the bath - be aware that this may frighten your pet
  • Gently shampoo your pet - be careful of delicate areas such as eyes and ears
  • Rinse shampoo and towel dry. Then brush the hair

Briard Dog Grooming Instruction - Trimming Nails
Some dogs do not need their nails trimmed as they are kept short by general activities. However, should your dog's nails become long then they should be trimmed. It is important to know exactly what you are doing, as cutting too deep into your Briard dog's nails can cause damage and pain. Written instruction is not enough as the risk of hurting your Briard is too high.

  • Your vet can help initially by demonstrating how to trim your dog's nails and supervise your first attempt
  • Spend some time touching your dog's paws and gently squeezing the area around the nails in order to familiarize them with this sensation
  • Seek advice from your vet about the most appropriate nail clippers for your pet
