Do not ever brush your dogs coat when it is completely dry or brush your dog with a natural bristle brush, because you will break the fine hairs of the Yorkshire Terrier's coat. It is actually best if their coat is actually misted with a combination of water and hair conditioner before brushing .
Comb your spaniel's coat with a wire-pin brush or medium bristle brush. These brushes are recommended for dogs that have medium, flowing coats like that of the English springer spaniel. Brush in the direction of hair growth, and pause when necessary to remove loose hair from the brush.
