That is the AKC&#8217;s advice for the breed.<\/p>\n<p>Shedding season comes twice a year, according to the AKC. VCA puts these heavy sheds in late spring and late fall.<\/p>\n<p>Between full sessions, do a quick daily check. VCA vets advise checking for tangles under the armpits, in the groin and behind the ears.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"how\"><h2>How do I brush a Bernese Mountain Dog?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">Work in sections on a dry coat. Brush first, rake second, then comb. Never drag any tool through a tight mat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sequence\"><ol>\n<li><b>Start dry<\/b><span>Brush before any bath. VCA warns tangles can become impossible to remove after bathing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Line brush<\/b><span>Part the coat with one hand. Brush small sections with the slicker or pin brush, down to the skin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Rake if shedding<\/b><span>Use the rake with light strokes in the direction of growth. Stop at any snag.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Comb test<\/b><span>Run a metal comb through each section. If it snags, you found a tangle the brush missed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Tender zones last<\/b><span>Ears, chest, armpits, belly, pants and tail base get extra care and smaller strokes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>End calm<\/b><span>Praise, a treat and a break. The breed club says grooming needs patience, gentle hands and praise.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<h3>Drying after a bath or rain<\/h3>\n<p>Dry the coat fully, down to the skin, before you brush or rake. Towel off first.<\/p>\n<p>Some owners then let the coat air dry. The breed club notes some dogs get hot spots if coats stay damp for long periods.<\/p>\n<p>Some owners use a high-velocity, forced-air dog dryer. The club warns many dogs fear its noise at first, so start on low speed.<\/p>\n<p>Skip human hair dryers. The club says they run much hotter and could burn skin.<\/p>\n<p>Dry, dusty coat? Artero suggests a spray conditioner. The breed club notes some owners lightly mist with water first.<\/p>\n<p>Dog hates the slicker? Keep sessions short, and end on praise and a treat.<\/p>\n<p>Start young if you can. The breed club calls teaching a puppy to accept grooming &#8220;an essential part of early training.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"mats\"><h2>Where do Berners mat, and what do I do about ear and pants mats?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">Behind the ears, in the armpits and along the back of the legs. Small tangles can be brushed out gently. Tight mats need a groomer.<\/p>\n<p>VCA names the ears, armpits and back of the legs as mat zones for long coats. On a Berner, the back-of-leg hair is the &#8220;pants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>VCA lists the ears first. Use small strokes there, and hold the ear flat in your palm.<\/p>\n<p>For a near-mat, a rake can help. Boesch says hers will &#8220;separate those near-mats&#8221; she would not drag a comb through.<\/p>\n<p>A tight mat close to the skin is different. Do not pull it, cut it with scissors or force a dematting tool through it.<\/p>\n<p>VCA says only clippers should be used to remove mats, never scissors. It strongly recommends a groomer or vet for severe tangles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"time\"><h2>How long does brushing a Bernese take?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">There is no set time. A big dog with a thick coat takes longer, so split the job into zones instead of one marathon.<\/p>\n<p>A Berner can weigh over 100 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Owners in Berner forums describe anything from a quick 10-minute tidy to a bath day of hours. That is owner talk, not a rule.<\/p>\n<p>Try this instead. Do the body one day, then ears and chest the next. Do pants and tail on the third day.<\/p>\n<p>The breed club says dogs, especially puppies and older dogs, &#8220;need frequent breaks.&#8221; Let your Berner lie down when tired.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"rake\"><h2>Is an undercoat rake safe for a Bernese Mountain Dog?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">Generally yes, used gently on loose undercoat. Stop if your dog flinches or moves away. If unsure, ask a qualified groomer.<\/p>\n<p>Grooming tool maker Artero says rakes and shedding blades &#8220;help remove the undercoat without damaging the protective layer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coat condition matters more than breed alone. A Berner with a packed, heavy coat suits a rake. A freshly brushed coat may need very little raking.<\/p>\n<p>Go gentler on the belly, armpits and behind the ears. Those spots are sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>Want the full rake technique? Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/pawpampering.com\/en\/undercoat-rake\/\">undercoat rake guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"shave\"><h2>Should I shave my Bernese in the summer?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">Usually no. The breed club says no trimming is needed beyond feet and ears, and undue trimming is discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>The breed club quotes the AKC standard. A Berner &#8220;is shown in natural coat and undue trimming is to be discouraged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Artero&#8217;s breed guide goes further. It says &#8220;you cannot clip this type of coat,&#8221; and suggests brushing plus light scissoring instead.<\/p>\n<p>VCA warns of a rare problem after clipping, mostly seen in plush coats, called post-clipping alopecia. Hair regrowth can be delayed for up to two years.<\/p>\n<p>Hot dog? Talk to your vet or groomer before you clip anything.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"groomer\"><h2>When should I take my Bernese to a groomer?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">For tight mats near the skin, or when the shed outpaces you. Artero suggests a regular professional groom.<\/p>\n<p>Artero suggests a professional groom every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how much the dog sheds. It says visits help most around spring and autumn.<\/p>\n<p>Book sooner if you find mats you cannot brush out, or if your dog fights the rake.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"dont\"><h2>What should you avoid when brushing a Berner?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"answer\">Skip surface-only brushing, bathing before brushing, forcing tools through mats and shaving for shedding.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"checklist avoid\">\n<li><b>Brushing only the top.<\/b> The outer coat can look neat while undercoat packs underneath.<\/li>\n<li><b>Bathing a tangled coat.<\/b> Brush and comb first.
