I have a male rottweiler and I use a slicker brush that has small metal bristles and a push off attachment similar to the Dyson vacuum brush. He is fine with the brushing until it gets down his back towards his tail area. The brush makes a noise or rasp sound as it goes through his hair and since its getting closer to his hind area he gets highly agitated and will growl or snap if you continue to brush there. However when I use the vacuum on him he just sits there and I can vacuum him anywhere except when I get around his head and his ear gets sucked into the hose to far, a little of the ear going in is OK but all the way is off limits. This vacuum or attachment should work great on him since the vacuum noise doesn't bother him and the noise from the brush going through his hair would be hidden by the vacuum cleaner. Assuming that the smaller hole on the vacuum brush that sucks the hair won't allow his ear to get pulled in to far then this could be a winner for us both. And also I wouldn't have to clean up hair mats left from the brush. I know that my post is old, but this is new to me and I will see if I can purchase one somewhere and will leave another comment at a later time.
