My dog sheds too much! How do I reduce all the fur and shedding?

Question

My dog sheds so much! It's crazy! And I try to brush her every day but it never seems to slow down. What do I do? As you can see the excess amount of fur on my pants and on my rug... mind you they're supposed to be completely black.

Heavy shedding can be extremely frustrating! Try bathing Leah about once a month and brush her at least 1-2 times per week in an attempt to minimize shedding. You can also use a special grooming tool, such as a Furminator (https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/furminator-short-hair-deshedding-tool-for-small-dogs which is designed to remove some of the extra undercoat that is most often shed. Just use caution if you decide to use a Furminator because it is easy to overdo it and create some bald spots! I hope this helps and that all goes well!
