LOL - its a nightmare isn't it!
I have found that despite having a super duper pet hair specialist hoover - it all comes down to the quality of the carpet.
Some of my carpets are good quality wool - and they come up nice with a quick hoover but the capet in the Dining Room (where the dogs seem to spend the most time) is a cheap man made fibre one and I spend hours hoovering this tiny little patch trying to get the dog hair up
The best method is to wear a pair of trainers and scrape them across the carpet - its seems to be the most effective!
Other than that - get rid of the dogs!! Who's have dogs eh!!

Oh how I sympathise. I have two black dogs and black hair EVERYWHERE.
I have a rubber handbrush and a rubber sweeping brush which gets the hair up from both the laminate and the rugs. As well as hoovering of course.
But I seem to get enough to make a sweater every day ATM. It's driving me crazy.
I groom both dogs and have bathed them to no avail.

Henry doesn't seem to shed very much - maybe I have just become immune and no longer see it?
Barney used to lose fur in clumps, especially when he was older and yet never run out of fur to lose
He even broke a pet dyson with his extreme shedding!

You need a Furminator:

You can buy them on amazon/ebay. I had the same problem with my dog (tumbleweeds of hair everywhere!) but not now....the best dog grooming tool ever.

^^^ As above. Dog Number 1 is virtually bald so can be polished with a chamois but Dog Number 2 is a much furrier number. I was determined not to live in a house covered in black hair so I've been working my way through the fun control options and so far this is the clear winner. The only annoying bit is the hair just keeps coming out as long as you keep brushing! But at the end of it you have a very satisfying pile and the happy knowledge it's not spread finely all over your sofa.

i have a cocker spaniel chestnut & 2 white GSD, 1 long haired and 1 double coated, i could knit with what they lose, i have killed off sooooooooooo many hoovers and quite a few Dyson's too.
a hoover then a rub with a damp mop then another hoover works a little better, the trainers idea or the sellotape on a roller does it for maybe 5 min? than it looks like no one has done it for ever.
i now have tiled floors everywhere, the hairs? they get on the walls ceiling, cutaintops, and despite still hoovering still on the floors,
my big dogs who are getting old and a bit 'leaky' spend most of their 'inside' time out in the huge stone barn now, watching through a mesh door at what the world is up to, they live mostly in a big boiler room off the kitchen with their own barn access,
its the warmest place in the house for their old bones, and they get some peace from the pup.
so far their hairs have bunged up the boiler 4 times, so add to household hoovering boiler hoovering,
or shall we all give up and start a dog hair carpet fashion?
