hiking and grooming question

Saturday night I spent 4 hours getting little seeds out of Marley's coat. They were clustered on her legs and face mostly and were the result of a short hike on Staurday (I swear I turned around to pick up poop and turned back and she was covered!!!0


How do you keep these annoying things out of their hair when you are in the woods - even if you stay on a path?

You can't. I'm sorry. Even my bald ones pick them up. Just lots fewer of them.

If they exist within a five mile radius, OES will find them. Some OES in particular appear to have a built in capacity to zone in on the nasties and find them no matter what you do. I've had dogs ON LEASH come back covered 8O

Sybil drags me into particularly tempting brush. So glad all the obedience training is paying off :roll: :lol:

oh she was on leash!!!

I couldn't believe how embedded some were and she was soo good about it - even when I tugged a little too hard and may have been over zealous in combing some out. Of course I kept her up to 1 am to get them done which may have accounted for her lackadasicle performance in her agility class Sunday :roll:
Can you spray her with a silicone based spray so she's a little slick? (I know, sounds funny but it could work. Easier to wash out Pam than pick seeds!)

See this is what I was thinking - something must work to make them less attractive (in the sense of every seed in the area jumps to their coats!) to plant material.
