How do you get dog hair off a blanket?

I was recently dog sitting a young golden retriever for a friend. I had a fuzzy fleece-like blanket on my sofa and it seems to have been a magnet for the dog hairs. I have washed it several times (which did remove some hair), but there is still a lot (the dog hair is pretty long and seems to kinda get woven into the fabric). I have seen those sticky-tape rollers, but that would be a lot of work for both sides of a 5x6 foot blanket. Any dog owners have any special tricks for getting long dog hairs off blankets and furniture?

    Often times a rubber glove like you'd wear for dishwashing works well. They work especially well on furniture, but you may want to give one a try with your blanket

    If it is woven into the fabric, take it to your local dry cleaner and have them see what they can do. They always seem to do the best job in removing hair. Next time you have the dog over don't wash the item, take it out and shake and then use the vacumn on it and then take it to the dry cleaner. What type of material is the sofa? I have dogs and when I want to sit with the dogs I put old sheets over the furniture. Works great.

    You can also try a damp paper towel, that sometimes works, but it's better on cat hair, but anything is worth a try.

    Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tinyurl.im/H2HJl

    A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

    Yes, the fastest and cheapest way to do this is to take a damp sponge and run it over the blanket. The hair will roll up on the sponge, as you are wiping. The hair will really stick to the fleece and most of it won't come off in the wash. The sponge will get it all. Good luck!

    A natural way for dogs to communicate is to bark at things they find or see, usually which are interesting or a threat to them. If you have a dog that barks too much, then you want to find a way to calm down the instinct by offering the best dog training. While you want to make sure your dog can express themselves sometimes by barking, you also want to focus on not letting the noise become a burden. Following are some of the dog training tips that help your dog to stop barking while establishing basic obedience rules for the home.

    Start young. If you have an older dog that hasn't been trained to stop barking, it is difficult to stop. You want to make sure that you train puppies not to bark if they are doing it too much. The younger you start training them, the easier it will be for them to understand the dog training commands.

    Understand what barking is for. Barks from a dog are used for several reasons. You want to make sure you understand why they bark and whether this can be prevented. Some common reasons for barking are from the dog being bored or lonely. If there are distractions that the dog feels are a threat, they may also bark. You can prevent dogs from barking by giving them extra attention or by getting another pet.

    Reward them when they stop. Just like other types of obedience training, you can easily stop your dog from barking by showing them when to be quiet. This is known as one of the best dog training methods. Dog training commands and words such as saying quiet, with a voice that has a low tone, will easily stop your dog from barking. Once they do stop, you can reward them by telling them good in a higher tone and by giving them a treat. However, you need to do this instantly after they stop so they understand what the reward is for.

    Anti bark collars. If your dog instinctively keeps barking at everything, then you can get a collar for extra training. When the dog barks, a stimulus or scent is set off which causes slight discomfort for the dog. If you aren't around and your dog starts barking, it will immediately stop them.

    Know when to train. You want to make sure you don't leave your dog in a position where they can't express themselves. Even if you have neighbors who don't like the dog barking, there are certain times where they should be able to speak. Knowing when to apply commands and training and when to let them bark helps them to feel comfortable while allowing you to apply limitations.

    The ability to offer the best dog training is one that is reliant on consistency and understanding your dog. If you have a pet that naturally wants to bark, then finding a way to monitor the behavior is the best step to take. Following these dog training tips can help you to establish better behavior with your dog while allowing them to express themselves at the right time.

    Put the item in the dryer on air fluff, no heat at all and the hair should come off. Clean out the vent good after too.

    Hon, Next time you wash it, Make sure you use a dryer fabric softener. It will allow the material to soften up and let the hair come loose in the dryer, where you can just pull it off the dryer filter.. Good Luck & God Bless, {;-)
