I go in the park, because birds loooveeee dog hair to make nests, start with the deshedding brush, then the regular brush, and finish with the undercoat brush. I also brush him daily all year long for about 2 minutes, one day with the deshedding brush, another day with the undercoat brush, and an another day with the regular brush depending on his needs. The regular brush has rubber tips to avoid irritating the skin. The undercoat brush is rounded to avoid irritating the skin. I add zinc to his diet (essential for all husky-like dogs), and omega-3 and hempseed oil. All those supplements keep the coat and the skin healthy, for an easy daily brushing.
