New puppy has matted hair?

My new puppy has matted hair. My older sister been taking care of the puppy for just four days. It came back matted near the tail area. I don't have any clippers. I shampooed the puppy barely (the puppy hates baths) and brush it.
However, the matted hair won't go away. I snipped a spot and the hair is still matted. I didn't go any further because I might hurt the puppy. What should I do? Is there any products to get rid of the tangle rather than clipping it?

I recommend having her professionally groomed. If you cannot brush the matts out, a pro might be able to. Bathing her is only going to tighten up the matts. If they are too tight, they may have to be shaved out, but I would leave this to a pro. It will be a good experience for the pup to get used to grooming anyway. Start early, as its going to be a regular process for your pup's entire life.
