Talking Hello, I am new here

Hi, I am Kelly and I just wanted to say hello to everyone.
I have a 3 yr old Pembroke Welsh Corgi name Baxter.
He is one of the lights of my life and day. The others are my husband Ray, my 12 yr old Golden Retriever Jake and my 3 legged kitty (15 yrs old).
I do have a question..any tips for shedding? Baxter is a shedding machine.:

Just frequent brushing or combing. Corgis shed, that's just the way they are!

That's among the top four questions asked on Go Corgi.

Daily combing and brushing for up to five minutes.
Regular baths - once every four weeks using good quality dog shampoo.
An occasional hydro bath - say at a Corgi's peak times for shedding (twice yearly) would be advantageous and think about investing in a Furminator ( a special comb-like tool that costs around $35).

Shedding machine

Thanks for the input.
I have heard of the furminator and saw it at my vets office.
I may try that.

My corgi is now 1 1/2 old and we went through his first adult full shed this spring and my god was I shocked. Everyone said that Corgi's shed a lot but my god it is truly something to behold. I tried my friends shedding Blade that he uses on his lab and had great success with it. I immediately went out and bought one and have had great success with it,
