Bernese Mountain Dog temperament
Berners are typically calm and eager to please, generally cooperative for grooming, though their size means a groomer needs the right setup to work comfortably.
Grooming a Bernese Mountain Dog
The long double coat sheds heavily and mats readily at the ears, chest, and britches - regular brushing between visits makes a big difference in how long a full groom takes.
How often does a Bernese Mountain Dog need grooming?
Every 8-12 weeks, with a de-shedding treatment during spring and fall shedding season.
Watch for matting
A Bernese Mountain Dog's coat mats easily if brushing lapses. Severe matting typically adds $44 or more and can mean a full shave-down for your dog's comfort and safety, since careful de-matting takes real table time. See the matting guide for what each severity level looks like.
