Australian Shepherds have a double coat that benefits from regular brushing. A slicker brush and metal comb can help remove loose coat and gently work through areas that tangle.
Keep sessions short and rewarding while your puppy is young. Handle paws, ears, and the tail calmly so grooming becomes a familiar part of life rather than a stressful event.
Check the coat more frequently during seasonal shedding, and speak with your veterinarian or a trusted groomer if you notice skin irritation or unusual coat changes.
