Hi Tara- Thanks for asking. If you followed the directions on the box to slightly dampen the brush to address static issues, and you used a side to side brushing motion, then you are certainly doing nothing wrong:-) The reason many people love Lilly Brush is because with most kinds of pet hair, it works better and faster than sticky rollers and doesn't ever need refills. However...we include the following in our Product Description because there are so many different kinds of fur out there.. "What if Lilly Brush doesn't work on your breed's hair? Here at Lilly Brush, we completely understand that not all pet hair is created equal! We designed our BE FOREVER FURLESS Brush to work on a variety of dog and cat hair and as many types of surfaces as possible. That being said, some fur is more difficult to collect than others. If you are less than satisfied with how your Lilly Brush works on your pet's hair please return the brush to Amazon.com and we will fully refund your order." So, hopefully that helps, Tara. We want you to be happy with your purchase! Kind regards, Lilly Brush Co.

I find this to work much better than the sticky paper roller. There is one direction for picking up lint, and then you reverse the "brush" on something else, like a cloth or upholstery and it releases all the lint. So don't try to do it back and forth. Check out the directions. I'm a fan.

I have 2 german shepherds and 1 cat. The hair virtually rolls off them. It's one of the reasons I buy this brand. Nothing sticks.

Sorry, perhaps checking if you find some obstruction in side the blades portion of the unit. perhaps with a strong blow of hair drier. Or use a thin long brush, i.e bottle brush. God Luck.

I have a very thin brush that works great on it. Before that, I used long q-tips. If neither one is around, try rolling up a paper towel real thin, and pull that carefully through the spout.

I have Shelties...they shed like crazy also. I've had no problems with hair removal. I use a sticky roller or an upholstery attachment on the end of the vacuum to remove hair. Also, the cover is no problem to remove and throw in the washer and dryer. It slips back on the sofa easily.

I also do not find this brush very confortable to use the best way I found is to use a upward push at a downward angle so all the brushes come in contact with the cast iron pan I use on it for.If you continue up and down like this all the mess comes off with a little less effort on my part.

Maybe try a sensitive brush. Don't push hard at all. I love mine. Hope that helps.

After using it a few times, there are definitely better alternatives. I've since found Barkeepers Friend liquid cleaner and a regular scotch pad works just as well if not better. This is a pretty large and cumbersome brush and you have to fight the drill to keep it under control. That being said, you could definitely use a corded drill but if there is no way on your drill to dial down the speed, you're going to be fighting the drill a lot.

Hi! Is it all the brushes or just the large brush? My fan brush shedded a lot but I didn't have issues with any of the others. With the large brushes you can literally brush them with a hair brush to free the loose bristles and then shake them firmly a few times. If its ALL the brushes, you might have gotten a bad batch. I would suggest contacting Amazon or Shany to see about a replacement set or refund. Hope this helped!

You might try using the largest comb first to kind of thin out the coat and then go back and use a smaller comb to finish with. Try brushing the dog first also.

What # attachment did you use and how long is your dogs hair? Either attachment is not on properly or need to use a shorter length.

I only gave this brush a 3 star. I was expecting it be as good as my old one which was very similar. To answer your question, it doesn't clean very well. I used a damp paper towel to rub the lint, fuzz and kitty hair away, rubbing the opposite way. I haven't tried to clean it any other way. Sorry I couldn't really help you.

I got the large dog size and I have a German Shepherd. Prolly a little smaller than yours but the brush would still work great! Not to mention it does a good job at containing the mess and is easy to remove brushed hair.

Depends on your dog's coat. I have a lab and a german shepherd. While the lab has a double coat, it is not the correct brush for her. The german shepherd, has a longer double coat and it's perfect. I use it first and followup with a wider toothed comb to pick up the loose fur, then a run outside to let the rest of the fur fly. It would not be good for shorter coated dogs like a dalmatian or beagle.

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

Dog hair is a problem for us, too. I was actually concerned that the sheep balls would collect too much dog hair. They collect some but not much. I did use a piece of tape to remove it from them. I tend to use a sticky lint roller or pieces of packing tape to remove the dog fur from things. Tedious but nothing else seems to work. Maybe I will try some dryer sheets for that...thanks! Might try the dryer sheets plus the sheep balls at the same time.
