We learned something similar with our Lab actually — also double-coated, and we'd been under-brushing for a while before a groomer corrected our technique too. Seems like a pretty common thing people don't know until someone points it out. Glad you caught it before it became a bigger issue.

Such a helpful share, Rachel — coat care gaps like this are more common than people realize. For Corgi owners wanting more breed-specific care info: allinpets.com/pets/dogs/corgi — and if you're looking for a groomer who knows double coats well: allinpets.com/services

ngl never even thought about coat layers being a thing you brush differently lol. mochi's short hair so this doesn't apply to me but good looking out for other corgi owners Rachel

Good catch by the groomer. Same applies to Malinois — double coat needs the right tool, not just any brush. Skin issues from trapped undercoat are completely preventable if you know what you're doing, which most people don't find out until told.

This is a really useful thing to share, and it's a common gap in double-coated breed care — a slicker brush or standard pin brush often just removes the top coat without addressing the undercoat, which is exactly where buildup and skin issues develop. An undercoat rake, used properly, makes a big difference, especially during seasonal shedding.
