Question
QUESTION: how do i grom my jrt his hairs are all over the place i cant get a brush or comb that will take the hairs out also i cant leave him in alone as he barks alot i get somone to watch him please help thanks

ANSWER: Hello Ann.

Depending how you want your JRT hair to look, you have a couple options. you could take him to the groomers and get him shaved (or whatever style haircut you want) ..or, you could get him hand stripped. You could try either of these yourself, but I would reccomend finding a good groomer you trust to help you decide on the type of haircut you want! Most wirey hair JRT thats I have groomed just get shaved to look like a short hair JRT. It really all depends on the hairstyle you want. If this doesnt help you at all, write back to me with more info on what style you want, and I can try to help you more!
As far as the barking goes, I'm not a dog trainer, so, you might have to look for an expert on that!!
Good luck to you!

QUESTION: sorry but my jrt is a smooth coat and he cast all the time could you please help

Answer
that makes more sense! lol. ok, so when you have a dog who sheds, you will NEVER get rid of all the hair. What I would reccomend doing is taking your dog to the groomers every 6-8 weeks to get a good bath and brush, but do some maintaining at home. The best brush you could use for your dog is a curry brush. here is a link.

The zoom groom brush it by far my favorite that I have used. Try brushing your dog as often as possible, but remember, the shedding hair will never stop, but you can minimize it!
Hopefully that helps you out!
