How To Keep Dogs and Cats From Fighting

Repeat the process over a few days and gradually let the pets get closer to each other. Praise the dog with a treat for calm behavior. When you feel the time is right for the dog to be unrestrained, leave the leash on just in case you need to pull him back.

..:::How To Pet

Use a slicker brush and steel comb on this dog's coat as needed. The body has fairly long hair as opposed to the shorter length hair covering the face and tail. Comb your Irish Water Spaniel regularly to keep the hair from tangling and knotting. This breed sheds very little hair, if any.

Clip the hair on the face using a #10 blade. This is done by cutting away hair from the nose to the muzzle to the ear opening.

Trim the hair on the tail with blending shears from the base to about three inches towards the tip. The look of the Irish Water Spaniel's tail is called the "rat tail."
