Sit on the back steps and brush your dogs once a day. You'll help get all the stuff that's falling out off of them before it gets shaken off inside.

Unfortunetely, all dogs shed but the amount differs from breed to breed. It's spilt milk, but researching breeds and fur types prior to purchase is key. I'm assuming you are not heartless and will be keeping the dogs so all you can do is what Smitty said - daily outdoor brushing and, if the fur is soft, also routine combing to prevent mats.

There's only one thing on your list of things you do that you are missing, and is the key to your answer.



GROOMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...



You need to get the dog a regular grooming, first I would start with an all over shave down, to just flat out get RID of all the old access hair. Secondly, have the groomer recommend a shampoo for you to use at home, that promotes healthy skin. Once you get the full groom, you need to keep up on it. Make an appointment for every 5-9 weeks, assuming you have the dog shaved. This way, for a couple months, they'll get a heavy does of good skin care and quality. In between those grooming appointments, you still will need to brush the dogs every few days, to keep up the good skin condition. Every dog will shed. I dont care what anyone else says, good skin condition is the key to minimizing shedding. Now, GO GET THAT GROOM!



(dont be shy, if you dont like the idea of ashaved dog, it will grow back, and you'll be able to define a length that fits your need that way)
