Damp coat stripping for setters/ spaniels with Andis deshedding rake

Setter / spaniel pet stripping for jacket on a damp coat using Andis deshedding rake ; 7 months old puppy having his 2nd groom - I did rake out more coat once dry with Andis rake
Damp coat raking removes a lot more hair faster as it’s more grippy and coat doesn’t get shredded either - it’s pulled ; not cut or shredded ends
This is very useful on overgrown thick coats which aren’t stripped regularly - and on any pets - speeding up the work for the groomer and making it a fast affordable groom for pet owner
This puppy’s owner wanted the feathers and feet trimmed very short

Hello Bea, thank you for this very intesting and informative video! I just happened to find your video as I was looking for videos on how to groom my own Cocker Spaniel at home without shaving off his hair. Your video is very constructive and very different from all others out there where the groomers all clip the dogs!!! My Cocker Spaniel is 6 years old and had been shaved off just before I adopted him 5 years ago. I have kept taking him to the same groomer about 3 times a year, and yes, she has clipped him short all this time. The last time I took him there, well, she cut his ears so short, I was very upset, because the long ears are what makes a Cocker Spaniel, a Cocker, right!!! So, after that last upsetting visit, I promised myself, and my boy Cooper, that I would, from now on, try to groom him myself. However, I realize that we are not all born to be professional dog groomers... He is an American Cocker and, I guess all that clippiing since he was a puppy has now made his hair thick and curly... it has been three months since the last grooming episode at the salon, so now I am faced with the new experience of trying to groom him myself without making things worse... Do you have any suggestions or advice for a newbie like me on how to make it a positive situation??? as it is now, Cooper looks more like a little Panda Bear (he is black and white) and he looks rather messy. So, where do I start??? I have already taken tips for the head as shown in the video, but how about the rest??? Do you have another video where you do a whole body grooming for a Cocker Spaniel? Any advice will help me! thank you so much! Christine (from Canada).

Does this tool cut the coat or pull the dead hair? I have a 8 month old English Cocker Spaniel puppy. He hasn’t been groomed at all yet. So I’m deciding how to groom.

No it does not cut the coat at all - it’s fantastic just pulls hair …

Hi. I have 2 springer spaniels! can you please show where to purchase silky smooth shampoo you used. Was recommended Mars king 20 blade coat rake, is this the same you used? Many many thanks for your help 😊

[@beaellerbeck8863]

Hi … you can buy MD10 silky smooth shampoo and conditioner here : md10shop.eu They ship worldwide … and also check out the videos on how I use this range for show results I don’t use coat king … best is Andis fine tooth deshedding rake ( or tool ) available in USA / Canada

His coat is absolutely gorgeous after you've raked it, it's almost a shame to see the jacket cut (although I know his owners probably don't want to have to groom him in-depth every day). Do you find that your muscles get very tired from doing these sorts of grooms? It looks like it is quite hard on the arms and back, not to mention the constant strain when holding a dog up. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for your kind comments - I agree amazing coat for 7 months old puppy ; and I hated cutting the feathers off but owners just don’t want all that hair and his coat was excess if even for a show cocker Yes my arms are more less destroyed and i my thing that keeps me working is physio if I can remember and monthly sport massage

Aw pup crying. It actually looks as if it would be a painful process for them

[@beaellerbeck8863]

It is not painful at all … cockers are known to be quite vocal dogs anyways
