It鈥檚 a rubber curry comb (idk if that鈥檚 how it鈥檚 spelt 馃槀) and toy should get them in most tack shops, or if not, online equestrian shops. Amazon have a selection too; here is one example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shires-Equestrian-Rubber-Curry-Royal/dp/B007WMB1FC/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=NN2TZTOV5RO0&keywords=rubber+curry+comb&qid=1557138103&s=gateway&sprefix=rubber+curry+c&sr=8-5
At our shop our lab deshedding process is:
The idea behind deshedding is to pull out all the detached hair, and as much catagen (shedding stage) hair as you can, while preserving as much anagen (growing stage) and telogen (resting stage) hair as possible.Too much curry combing or furminating will start pulling out hairs not "scheduled" to shed for weeks or months and could leave your dog with irritated skin and long lasting thin spots in the coat.Normally or clients report that their labs stop shedding for at least a few weeks after a groom, so give it a shot, and repeat the process as necessary. Contrary to popular belief, you can make a huge impact on the shedding of labs, but it does take some practice, dedication, and the right tools.
I recommend this super expensive comb, and this super cheap curry comb.
EdiT: totally ignore the strikethrough. I misremebered that whole bit.
A curry comb/brush like this? We've tried one & it didn't seem to make much difference. Unless you mean something more along the lines of this????
If the problem is just how much injury they inflict, maybe take a file or sand paper and knock em down a bit?
A somewhat popular toy I see that maybe has a similar effect to the vampire gloves is a steel horse comb. You can use em tor scratch, or as a spanking paddle. They will draw blood, but can't go deep enough to cause free bleeding.
There will be be whining, crying, gnashing of teeth, neighbors looking on in distress as a tumbleweed or six of doghair rolls over their lawn. :D
A garage fan, and assorted horse tormenting/grooming tools can also be used.

For those with horses AND snow dogs up north, spring just tends to really really suck.
At least snow dog hair tends to clump and blow away. Horse hair, it just seems to cling to anything.
