We use this for our Corgi and it works well
Edit: Looks like OP might also have something similar.
If this is what you're talking about that is 1000% a furminator. I have one and instantly recognized it.
Not a fail.
I have a 9 year old Staffy who sheds all the time too, well her white chest does! I bought this a few weeks after getting her and it has worked so well over the years!
When people refer to the Furminator, it is usually specifically referring to their deshedding tool. Furminator got their start by heavily marketing those blades to the public. They have since expanded to a full fledged brand with all sorts of grooming tools and supplies like shampoos, conditioner, etc. which should be functionally the same tool as other brands' (aside from differences in quality).
I have a Roborock S6 MaxV and it does quite a good job at picking up the dog hair. I run it daily on top of a few jute-ish rugs, just like u/r33mi.
Probably depends on the dog; but I have also found this FURminator to be a game changer w/regards to dog hair. My dog also likes/doesn't mind the process... I can pull a fist full of hair off her every few days and this is best for keeping fur/hair off the sofa.
I just wish my Roborock could auto-detect carpet and build its own no-mop zones, cause I move my rugs semi-regularly.
You also need a furminator!
It's like the second stage after brushing -- get her used to brushing first (really 90% of cats like it and will come right over when you hold up their brush once they learn how it feels) then start furminating.
Lots of cats like that too but it's a little less like a good petting and more like a good hard scratch.
However, it will help the shedding thing. It pulls out the shed undercoat. It's fascinating and terrifying. You'll furminate enough fur to build yourself several other cats but she won't look any different.

I asked the advice of this one man that worked at petsmart and was a dog groomer/trainer/manager/ basically-a-dog-whisperer-but-would-never-call-himself-one and he recommended one specifically for double coated dogs. He also told me to only brush him a maximum of 5 times in each place as to not irritate the dog's skin, and to not touch him again for at least 2 weeks so I don't overbrush him, while bathing him once a month. What are your thoughts on this? Nothing else seems to touch his undercoat for me.
The Furminator helps.
Should I use a “desheding brush” like this for daily brush?
Or is it not recommended?
It is the best brush you can buy!!
What brush do you use? I use Furminator and it does a very good job coupled with bathing more often and brushing daily.
Try the Furminator before you brush.
We always have a menagerie (6 cats and a dog currently) and we've used Furminators for years and love them. We have a couple different sizes because the dog has long hair while 5/6 cats have short, but you can use just one on everybody, really. It gets rid of loose hair without removing top coats. The first time you use it will take a long time but after regular use there's nowhere near as much shedding hair to remove.
It’s a furminator and you can get them in lots of places and Amazon. Furminator Short Hair deShedding Tool for Cats, Small https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00452OHXU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_60VEMQ87JSXV6P367X3X
I just ordered this one . Hoping he likes it. He hates the grooming rake and the pin/bristle just slicks him down and doesn't help us with shedding. But I do use it for desensitizing!
Have you tried a Furminator? They are really good for getting out matted fur. I'd recommend getting the wider one.
I've bought them off Ebay for less than at the store, but I am sure most pet stores also carry them.
The button on top ejects the hair from the brush.
I recommend using something with a shorter bristle... maybe like a furminator like this.
Couple suggestions for those problems:
There's a grooming tool called a Furminator that you can use to get the dog's loose fur out. That way it comes out in a large pile that's easy to clean up, rather than ending up all over the house.
You can grind a dog's nails rather than clipping them. That's a lot less likely to be painful, so dogs tolerate it better
I think you need a better brush honestly. You probably aren't getting any much of the undercoat out. Get one of these and brush pretty firmly and it will yoink out tons of undercoat https://www.amazon.com/FURminator-deShedding-Tool-Dogs-Large/dp/B0040QQ07C/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=defurminator&qid=1631403936&sr=8-1
I buy the shed control shampoo and conditioner by Furminator! Works pretty well on my monsters. https://www.amazon.com/Furminator-deShedding-Premium-Shampoo-16-Ounce/dp/B00I2Y1CNU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=k9ofmine-20&linkId=c033bbbd7ed9df18d177538493519063&language=en_US
A constant issue in my house. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040QQ07C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Helpful but not foolproof, but definitely easier than a comb.

I just ordered 2 of these. I have a short haired, mostly white hound mix. 5 minutes with this and it looked like it snowed in my living room. used to have a collie. thought the short haired dog would shed less.... she sheds MORE and I love this little brush..she loves it too, apparently it scratches nice
Long haired cats MUST be regularly groomed. Bring her to the vet or a groomer, buy a Furminator (make sure you get the long hair version, it's generally cheaper on Amazon than in pet stores), and begin brushing her regularly (but don't over-brush). And clip her claws, as well, that way she can't scratch you. Here's a good video on beginning to clip your cat's claws on your own.
If the cat is too stressed to be groomed, they can be sedated at the vet, and since she's fighting it I'd suggest the vet for now. But then regularly groom her coat and nails and get her used to it. You'll probably have to supplement with professional grooming.
My family's long hair cat had two completely different personalities between them figuring out you actually have to groom a long hair (this from a dad who has a cocker spaniel and gets her professionally groomed!) She used to be grumpy because mats HURT, now she's a cuddle bug.
I have a husky in the south as well. Ever heard of the Furminator? The difference is insane. No other brush compares. Check out the video on Amazon. I put my reputation on the line in the name of the Furminator.
The furminator is a god-send for long-haired cats. I’ve also heard good things about this.
Brush your cat, at least once a week, with one of these. Your cat will have a healthier coat and healthier skin, and love you for it.
It's not that kind of furminator. It's the rake they make. It doesn't really take any hair off at all, just untangles and the individual tines rotate. It's this one.
But yes, don't use a standard furminator on paws, or really on wolfhounds at all.
I use this one on my cat. It’s a little pricey but it’s really helped a lot
It’s my savior.
