    No, I haven't. Is your dog not keen on brushes? I use a Kong Zoom Groom - Coco is really fidgety when I use it, he thinks it's a game rather than he doesn't like it. It kind or massages him and releases his loose hair.

    I think of your dog enjoys petting then s/he will enjoy the TrueTouch glove. I would think it would be fine on a short haired dog, but is not going to help keep tangles out of a longer haired dog.

    Yes, it was great for my long haired dogs (Cavaliers and Keir FC/GR) but no use at all for Tatze (Lab).

    The zoom groom is great for Tatze. The Tangle Teaser (human hair brush) is even better as the hair stays on the brush and I can groom her indoors.

    We have a glove similar to this, more a mitten, not individual fingers, and we have the zoom groom.
    I think they both do a decent job of getting rid of loose hair.
    Used my glove one about an hour ago in fact :)

    I have a similar glove but it does not really remove hair, maybe loosen it a bit. To remove it I use the Furminator.
    The marketing on this is a bit iffy though - 'mimics human touch' ??

    I have similar, but more like an oven glove, not individual fingers. Works nicely , but best of all I know the bristles won’t scratch Snowie’s skin. With the metal brushes, you need to be careful not to hurt the skin. This is the only brush Snowie doesn’t slink away from. He is not keen on the firminator.

    How timely. As some of you may recall, Cooper really does not like being brushed. This morning we were having breakfast on the upper deck, and I thought maybe she would not remember, or have so much reaction. I when into the kitchen and started looking for a Zoom n Groom or grooming Glove. Cooper must have sensed it and left the Deck before I came back out. She would not come back out and went into her crate for a while. I really wish we could solve this, since we are starting to have dust bunnies that are bigger than bunnies:eek:.

    Maybe you could try to associate teh brush to a good experience slowly, like treats

    We are working into it slowly with lots of treats. I actually got her to come back on the deck and got to brush her a little before she insisted on leaving.
