Hello Mathilde, thank you so much, I am happy that you like my videos , the things I say are the way it works for me and many breeders. If you only strip the coat every 3 months you have to strip so much coat and yes because the pores are open we usually don’t advise to wash or if it must be washed we use a very mild shampoo like certified organic with no lorate sulfate. most shampoos are made with lorate sulfate though. I have learnt to prepare show dogs where every detail and every hair is important that by washing the longer coat (not the back) with a good shampoo and even special conditioner that’s giving moisture and doesn’t make the coat soft we had the most succes styling and with winning titels. The secret is having your customers regularly coming in like every 4 or 6 weeks and using a chalkpowder or even easier a good chalk block to get the grip before you start stripping if you have washed the furnishings. I hope,this helped. I have written a big blog on stripping if you like to see it’s on our webpage www.transgroom.com thanks again stay safe 😍

@@kittydekeersgieter Thank you for the thorough answer! Yes we mostly have our customers coming in every 3 months becuase none of them are show dogs. We have only one show dog that we have groomed and its a standard schnauzer, and then she would come in very often right before the show. We do use chalk when we strip, always, and we only use our hands usually to strip to make it as comfortable for the dog as possible when we have to do the big complete strip that we usually have to do every three months. We focus on making the dogs as correct and close to the breed standard as possible but its not so easy when we only see them every 3 months. But we maintain the good wirey coat and the comfort for the dog, and thats the most important part! I will remember it for the future dogs that want to keep their dog in show condition all the time! THanks!

@@mathildedorothea5032 hello Mathilde In my shop I use to give my customers a kind of menu wher they had to choose between paying a price for grooming every 12 weeks and a cheaper price for grooming every 10, 8 and 6 weeks. This way the more they come the cheaper the price and thats exactly what made my career as a dog groomer successful. Try it , contact me on messenger if you need more information

No stripping only removers dead hair that is loose :)

@@sweetwishes neat, that's good to know. Thank you!

thank you Mariella, yes when we lift the hairs like that we only strip the longest hairs who are really ripe and ready to be striped.

Didn't 😮Poppy seem tired and a little agitated toward the end? That seemed to be a long time standing. And being pulled. I read what was said above, but all that tugging has to hurt, ready or not. What is the difference between stripping and plucking? Plucking really sounds painful.

Thank you Andrea for your nice feedback . Sorry we have skipped a grooming point on the face/ visor . Hopefully next time :-) Please don't hesitate to contact us for more information . www.transgroom.com

Hello Ali , With all respect of your opinion , shaving or scissoring a Westie , is not the way it should be. gladly we both know that . Imagine, every dog would be shaved :-) It's our mission and passion to share the experience and knowledge how you can style a westie like it should be . Kind regards.

@@TransgroomTV Won't they grow back afresh?

Hello, thank you for your comment and we are happy to guide you in handstripping . Pulling hairs out , is called handstripping . Those hairs are loose and dead , they have to be removed otherwise the dogs skin will be itchy and the coat will seem dull . Please find all the information about handstripping in the link belows : transgroom.com/en/blogs/hand-stripping-the-way-to-go Thank you .
