I get a lot of burrs out of my Springer Spaniel's fur with a metal flea comb. For some reason, the black colored ones work better than the silver or chrome plated ones. You can also spray a product that you get at Tractors Supply that is for horses "Show Sheen".

If you get tired of telling the dog no, to stop bad behavior, (digging, etc.) get an electric collar. Innotek, Tri-tronics, etc.I had a problem with one of my Springers digging. When I caught her digging, yelling at her worked for about 1/2 hr. I out the collar on her when I put her in the kennel run in the morning. Midday I saw her digging. With the unit on 6 (of a possible 15) I hit the button. It took 4 more times like that over the period of a week, but she never dug again. Don't say anything to the dog, that way he'll think that the digging is causing the discomfort, not you telling him to stop.
