It's important to remember that breeds like Huskies are shown with full undercoat. This is not a time to do anything that will shed the undercoat out. At all. A lot of handlers will pack the undercoat with chalk to make it even fuller. That's tricky for someone who hasn't done it before.
Don't over bathe before showing. It removes too much coat.
Thick and Thicker is a great product. So is Davis Fluff Out. And one of the best you can get is Crown Royal. If you don't have access to any of those products, here's an old Poodle handlers trick. KY jelly. Bathe the dog, then apply a good amount of jelly to the coat, working it in as the dog dries. You can also dilute it in a spray bottle with distilled water for quick touch ups.
