Miniature schnauzer hand-stripping show grooming 🐾

[@notme5008]

Your are talented!!! Such a great job!!!

Wow, it's fascinating how much dedication goes into a perfect show groom on a dog! Of course I knew on some level that it was a lot of work, but I suppose I never thought about just how much careful thought and precision goes into it. Even for a Schnauzer, it's so much more than just "short over the top, long on the undercarriage". What a gorgeous dog--and a very patient one, at that!

Exactly how my schnauzer looks before and after ! Great job 👏 👏👏👏👏⭐️🙌🏻

[@dederiquevanniekerk3636]

Gorgeous! How long did it take? And can you do a Wire fox terrier?

[@janetweller4197]

Awesome Video! Thank you! It is good seeing more terrier with their natural coats now that continuously rolling a coat is so easy for the dog to tolerate.

Looks great! How do you tie the beard in a band to make it look so cute? Mine always looks clumsy 😅

[@DePetsSalon]

Thank you! I usually use the comb to part the beard in the middle into two sections, comb thru and secure the entire top section with smooth elastic then loosen the grip a little so it’s comfortable for them. Usually we start tying since puppy so they are used to the tying otherwise it will be very difficult😄 We tie the fur to keep the beard clean not really for aesthetic purposes😊 I hope it helps!

Where did you get the stripping knives from? Care to drop the link please?🙏

[@DePetsSalon]

@@eitanlive6114 hi, these are the artero stripping knives in red, blue & green. You can get them from your local artero sellers. We’re located in Singapore & also sell these from our shopee shop. 😊hope this helps!

Great job .

[@midnightdaisy01]

How do you decide wich length will the coat be? I have a stripping knife but it only takes out dead hairs and the rest of the coat keeps growing until i have to clip it

[@DePetsSalon]

Hi! Thank you for your question! We decide the length base on the breed standard and adjust to individual structure of dog🤗

[@Adorckable00x]

Lovely groom! Do you bath then handstrip or other way around ? I was always taught to do the stripping first then bath on a separate day to avoid any skin irritation from shampoo x

[@DePetsSalon]

Hi! Thank you! Usually depending on the coat condition I will roll the coat > roughly strip to remove the excess coat > bath + dry > final touches. Unless I am hand plucking then I wouldn't recommend to wet the skin as it may lead to a infection. So far I have not encountered a skin irrtation from shampoo, but I feel using #1 system crip coat helps too!😊

Wonderful job you are doing.. what about Giant Schnauzers are you hand stripping..?

[@DePetsSalon]

Thank you 🙏🏻😊 yes giant schnauzer can also be hand stripped.

[@sassysally625]

which brand is your stripping knife? can you share? Thanks.

[@DePetsSalon]

Hi, I’m using the Artero ones. They have the green, blue & red handle. Different handle colors have different coarseness of the knife. :)

[@roundsquash6392]

@@DePetsSalon So if i was to get one knife which color would u recommend? thanks

[@DePetsSalon]

@roundsquash I would recommend the coarse green stripping knife, because its more universal. However, if you want to go quite short/detail work on certain areas, the blue or red one is recommended, depending on the length you are aiming to achieve. The red is the finest, followed by blue, then green.

[@roundsquash6392]

@@DePetsSalon Green it is!! thanks

[@sassysally625]

Thank you. I thought I recognized the shape and style. I use the blue and red but watching you work with the green- it seems to be able to cut down coat faster and shorter.

[@annbounds7087]

What about his beard??? Why did you leave it in rubberbands?Rubbermaid? I hope that that is not suppose to be cute. The beard are what is so distinguishing on Miniature Schnauzers!

[@DePetsSalon]

Hi Ann, thank you for commenting😊. I didn’t remove the wrapping bands as she is a grooming client, she will salivate and wet her beard if it’s not banded. Yes the beard plays a very important role in a schnauzer’s expression that is why we have to band to prevent breakage and keep in perfect condition. It’s not meant to look cute😅 By the way the bands are not normal rubber bands, we uses Lainee wrapping bands. I hope I’ve answered your questions~

[@Joseph_cooks720]

I need to find a groomer in my area that hand strips because the person that was doing my buddy is no longer able to and I don’t want to get him clipped

[@kaniskyevans3996]

Very demure! Lol

[@DePetsSalon]

@@kaniskyevans3996 very cutesy , very mindful 😄

[@hikari59914051]

I just find it sad that there are still places where ear cropping and tail docking is allowed for aesthetics. So many dog breeds have these procedures for no reason other than people prefer how it looks. If a dog (or any other animal for that matter) are born a certain way, that is the way they should stay, unless it is medically necessary. Cropping and docking for aesthetics is illegal where I live, and I love being able to see all the breeds with their ears and tails as they were meant to be, and they are gorgeous. My miniature schnauzer is an extremely handsome little man, and even more so because I can see so much of his personality and read his emotions by observing his ears and tail. Please love and care for your dog. They see us as perfect the way we are. We should be the same. ❤ (Just an edit to add, my comment isn’t a criticism on the groomer. Just how performing unnecessary procedures to alter animals appearance for the purpose of supposed aesthetics. We all need a change of mindset. Animal lovers should consider this an abusive practice. Lots of love.)

wish my dog would stay still

table training & treats will help! :)
