Curved scissors are also good for removing knots.

It makes me sad to clip a Schnauzer now that arthritis in my hands makes trimming any other way difficult.

Oster Aesculap and Andis are all good clippers but pricy.

I groom Chloe every day without fail, her soft leg and tummy furnishings knot very quickly so we never get knots .
Meg I don’t want to clip him all over just in the back regions where it won’t show underneath his petticoats where all the mats occur . Mungo is such a wiggle grooming is not easy. Being the clever dog that he is he has been known to seize the brush and do a runner with it !

It's a shame to use clippers on this area as often it ruins the look when all you need to do is make it manageable. Anti tangle sprays/creams can help a lot as well.
I will try some I have all de tangle lotion as recommended at the local groomers it has limited effect and none at all on an established matt .

I’ve got one of these . It works great but I’m clipping a Yorkshire terrier and a schnoodle - 1/2 schnauzer 1/2 poodle.

Mups will know about dog clippers but a good pair of thinning shears is a good idea also. Those things are great for subtle thinning cause shearing a collie won’t be easy. Good luck either way.

Just of interest, the groomer says that he doesn't have a double coat. And he is a Collie.
why were you in the shower?

Re: Dog clippers

Muddy, I wonder if this sort of de-tangler brush would be of use for Mungo's coat?
It looks to have longer rubber bristles, so wouldn't scratch at his inner thigh skin like pin brushes can do.

I understand. Once you have established matts, there is not much alternative but to cut them out.

Hi Mups I bought a great one from Tesco for £6 ( it for people and works a treat ) very soft - I tried it on my own arm and naughty mungo tried to run off with it . However Mr M said sternly stop that ! and he immediately was as good as gold . Mungo came from a home with children and I now think that grooming was just an excuse for rough housing - he is the same with the yard broom and the lawn mower . Will try all sorts of tricks to stop these activities which he clearly sees as wasting time that could be spent playing - preferably football ! ( I am sure the children were boys )
