Wish you were near me. Cannot find anyone to groom my border terrier . I going to have to practice on him !!

[@gerardburns8942]

Is it same process for miniature Schnauzer?

[@tulipsandroses6263]

Is hand stripping and stripping the same thing?

[@bler7469]

What are the tools used for this video?I have a Westie that absolutely hates being touched by anybody except me so I am trying to build up my toolkit and the knowledge to strip her myself to avoid her the trauma of being touched :( . But I cannot find anywhere any info on what tools to use…

[@dogsofpride1574]

Hi! If you go to our channel and watch the other 2 parts, I cover all different tools in those- hope that helps, thanks!

[@veronicacorrea7645]

Do you have an example of stripping a Cairn Terrier you can show?

[@dogsofpride1574]

@@veronicacorrea7645 There may be some old pics on my FB page but I am now retired (due to Lyme disease) Exactly the same procedure, just different pattern, look up best in show winners for better looking outlines and use those as your guide.

[@JeannetteKincaidSanderson]

What is that first tool you use called? I wasn't able to understand what you said and would love to order one.

[@dogsofpride1574]

Hi Jeanette - I referred to it as a Coat King, though that is more of the brand name from a specific manufacturer, mine is a "knock-off" though exactly the same head and can also be knows as an undercoat rake or deshedding tool too.

[@lindapolze7769]

What is white brush that you are using?

[@dogsofpride1574]

It is not a brush, it is a stripping stone. It provides grip to the hair and then the technique is to hold some hairs against it to help pull them out of the coat. With a proper technique you will only remove dead hair which is ready to release and not well rooted still growing hair, therefore it does not hurt.

[@katiescarlett5249]

Great Video. This will be helpful for my JRT. Does the American Cocker Spaniel need to have the coat stripped on the sides where it is long? I feel like my year old female has a lot of dead hair that appears fine and mats. Thank you.

[@dogsofpride1574]

Glad you enjoyed it. If your Cocker is going to be shown, then yes the back is stripped. Your breeder should be the best person to ask about this! The fine airy stuff can have a tendency to grow back coarser when stripped properly, though not to destroy the correct pattern. Perhaps a product like the Texture paste from Pure paws would also help, or a good finishing spray to reduce the static. (try Pure Paws Finishing spray or Finnessiam SCENTsitive (scent free) Leave-In/Detangle spray. Take care.

[@dashathehorsegirl7943]

I need to strip my dog. She is Scottish terrier. Could you please give me advice how I can find groomer to strip her. I live close to Pittsburgh PA. Thank you for your videos

[@dogsofpride1574]

Glad you like them. Check out your local groomers and ask who has experience or specialises in hand stripping, ask to see photos of their work or references even! You could also check sites of the professional association websites and see if there is anyone in your area listed as certified. nationaldoggroomers.com/groomer-locator

@@dogsofpride1574 Thank you very much for your help and advice! I greatly appreciate it.

[@dashathehorsegirl7943]

Is any teaching course is available? So I can learn. Hand stripping places are very far from my house. It will be impossible for me to drive every 7-10 days because of my work. What do you think should I do?

[@dogsofpride1574]

@@dashathehorsegirl7943 quite a few have learned enough just from these ones, check out Part 2 and part 3 and please subscribe to our channel - thank you!

[@lindapolze7769]

What is that stone? Where did you find it?

[@dogsofpride1574]

I have had that since I started grooming at school in the UK! It is a stripping stone, there are many different types, try other show/terrier supplies stores/sites.

[@ashvagle]

Could you please do a video stripping a westie? Thanks this was very thorough.

[@dogsofpride1574]

Hi - sorry, i had to retire from grooming as I have Lyme disease! Same techniques and tools, just look for Westie specific videos to get the pattern and head correct. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@larrycloetta9816]

@@dogsofpride1574 sorry to hear that, because you are an excellent teacher as well as a groomer. Please take care of yourself.

[@dogsofpride1574]

@@larrycloetta9816 Thank you so much. I "retired" from grooming 4 years ago now and have since beaten Lyme - YAY - my life has gone more toward helping others and their pets battle this naturally among other things - you'll see more from me on the Finnessiam side of the business if you subscribe to our channel, you might enjoy my podcast "Quantumly Yours" too. Take care!

@@christinedickenson7514 Hi, that is a stripping stone, it is like a rough pumice type of stone which helps with gripping the hair.
