Hi. I loved your tutorial! I just adopted a terrier mix and he's a sweetie. When I adopted, I was told to hand strip him. I was clueless. Thanks to you, I now have a much better idea of how to proceed. Thanks so much! Ruth Ann Struble

I think you did a great job and you gave me a good laugh. I've been hand stripping my Border for the last 3 years and thanks to tutorials like yours it gets easier every time. Thank you

Thanks for a great and informative video. I live in the USA and it's very hard to find a groomer where I live who is willing to spend the time it takes to hand strip. I have 2 Borders I have stripped myself for years but you gave me some new ideas, like the chalk block, which seem like they'll make the whole job much easier in the future. The one thing I do that you didn't mention was using stripping stones, especially if the coat is totally blown. Seems to go faster to start off with, and then like you, I prefer using my fingers for the rest.

For weeks I have been preparing and educating myself on how to strip a terrier - I will be getting a puppy next week and it was so hard to find a video on how stripping is done exactly. THANK YOU for such a great and informative video! You make it look so easy. I thought I would need tools, but the fingers will do. Thanks again!

great video my groomer only strips the body of my border and cuts everywhere else to save time after watching your video I've had the confidence to strip her everywhere myself and save lots of money in the process thanks a million xx

I thought it was wonderful - - a daunting task. My son just got a rescue Cairn and I am sure had no idea this would be involved. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

I loved it. It was informative and cute to watch. Thank you and our little border mix, Benjamin Bengal, will appreciate what you've taught us!

I found this very informative, I have a border and was not aware you could strip around the eyes, to be honest, I have only done it to my dog maybe 5 or 6 times. And just so you know, it wasn't boring at all, Thank You ;)

Hi Jodie. Fantastic video, thanks. This has really helped me, as I am brushing up on my dog grooming skills.

I am getting a border terrier soon and have been finding out tips for looking after/training/grooming etc. This is a really clear demonstration of hand stripping - much appreciated video - thanks, Jodie.

I love border terriers!

Your video has really helped me over the last few days. I have 2 border terriers who normally go to the groomers but finances are tight at the moment. To make it more manageable I stripped part of them every day over 4 days and now they look as handsome as ever considering they will be 13 in March and 12 in July!

looks chilly outside, we leave this till the summer normally as ours seems to feel the cold weather. You got a very well behaved border, seems to enjoy it :)

Great video. The most informative I have seen. Thanks! Gonna give it a try now. Wish me luck! 😁

Awesome video!!! Thank you for teaching us.

Your borders are adorable! Thank you for posting the hand stripping video.

Fantastic video! I quite enjoyed the comic relief.

Hey! Love your videos! I have a fairly smart yorkie! I love the trick were the dog stands on its hind legs and inbetween your legs! :)

Ive saved your video, it’s so informative and so good! Thank you!! Although I have a question, my cairn terrier is 5 1/2 and a groomer has told me that his hair is ‘going soft’ and it is too sensitive for him and he needs to be clipped. Is this right? Can their hair go ‘soft’? Is it painful for him? I’ve tried a few spots and it’s coming out quite easily..but it’s taking ages for me as I’m not trained!

Hi JODY have tried diamatious earth instead of the chalk it also does for fleas email. ETC. LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE. IT'S GOOD STUFF.
