Tools for raking the coat: - A rake with straight teeth - if you're new to raking the coat may be a safe place to start but will not be as effective - Stripping knife - again, used in a combing motion to rake the coat here and not used with your finger to strip the coat - A 'Coat King-Type' rake - referring to the 'Mars Coat King' these rakes typically have hooked teeth and can go from ultra-coarse to ultra-fine spacing between the teeth. | Leading Edge Dog Show Academy
