Can anything help static-y fur?

As everyone else said...diluted leave in conditioner works great to smooth the static. I use the conditioner or a dryer sheet on my hair as well. :smile2:


Be glad that shelties are small....One winter it was terribly dry and I had to rub one of the Thoroughbred horses I was riding with a dryer sheet everytime I was going to put on his blanket. If you didn't he would get a static shock when the blanket was being pulled off and he would jump forward, kick back and try to bolt :eek2: Of course he was normally an ornery cuss on the best of days as well....... At least Riley only gives me a dirty look when we exchange static shocks :lol:

I second that, that TOTALLY puts it in to perspective. Oh dear gosh hahaha :lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
The dryer sheet thing works wonders. I've used it for years. Also, I've resorted to spraying my hands with Adorn brand hairspray (for people, now sadly very hard to find) and rubbing the dogs with it. Also works if you spray it on a pin brush then immediately give a few strokes. I hesitate to put anything like hairspray directly on them, as it has a lot of alcohol and will eventually dry out the coat.

I've got to try the diluted conditioner. Sounds like it would really work well.
 
just move to the southeast US- we have enough humidity year-round that there's no problem with static and sheltie hair. No need for any kind of spray:winkgrin::lol:
 
All of the above....and a Bounce sheet (unscented preferably)! Yep, truly. Just swipe it over the coat!

I'm thinking about stocking them in my store! :lol:
