When to start stripping border terrier puppy
SIMPLE WAY TO GROOM A TERRIER
hi everyone I'm Jodi and in this video
I'm just gonna be teaching everyone how
to hand strip their wire-haired terrier
at home I appreciate a self-made and
shocking video before but it's very very
long and not very concise so I thought
I'd make another one it's a little bit
shorter less embarrassing and just gets
to the point gets it over and done with
and isn't such a boring much stripping
your dog as opposed to clipping them is
great because it keeps the wiry dense
outer coat which is very protective in
wet weather as we have in England all
the time but unfortunately not many
groomers do hand strip and of the ones
that do often it's very expensive they
not all owners can afford this in this
video we're just gonna be going over how
to do a basic pants trick
this isn't really for a show dog as such
this is just the quickest and most easy
way to go dog I'm going to be stripping
a port area it's actually brambles and
little brother and I say little because
he was the runt of the litter but he's
quite a big boy now
but this also applies to pretty much any
Whitehead Terrier breed pair of the
tools I'm going to be using you won't
need all of these I'm going to go
through and show you how to use every
single one of them why would say and
this is the top tip definitely get
yourself some grooming chalk because
this is so useful I have the powdered
version here but you can also get the
solid version which works just as well
something else you need I know that this
don't forget to clip your dog's nails
because if they get too long it can be
really really painful for the dog to
walk and they can become ingrown I would
recommend a separate pair of scissors
you don't use the scissors that much
when you grooming your dog
it's great for trimming
inside of the ears and around the pools
to keep it nice and sanitary a metal
tooth comb is just good for when your
dog is fluffy scheduled over the brush
to make sure they're not getting knotted
thinning scissors are good for dogs that
are very sensitive around the legs and
the chest and stomach because it means
that you don't have to actually strip
you can just use a thinning scissors
over that instead and finally a
stripping knife which you can use to
thin out the coat to make it easier to
strip I personally would not recommend
using a strip you know all over the body
as it can cut the fur but it's not gonna
do what if it does so here's the needs
file and so by getting your chalk and
just covering your dog with it the chops
great because adds to the grip when you
groom a dog because it is very harsh on
your fingers and it can give you
blisters I've had so many lessons from
grooming dogs and the chalk just makes
the job a lot quicker and easier which
is good for you you think is and also
the dog because it's less stressful once
you've chopped up your dog just use your
thumb and finger to start plucking the
hair away
[Music]
no no no dogs ready to start stripping
because the hair will come out nice and
easily
boys flat downwards so you're not
putting the hair against the roots
because that can be a little bit painful
for the dog I start at the top of the
neck and I work my way down the body and
I leave the legs the stomach the chest
and the head and the tail until via the
actual bulk of the body is really really
easy to stretch in most cases if your
dog is really struggling with it then
it's probably better to get it clipped
once you've weighed up pros in the cons
but if your dog is easy to strap on its
body then just get that over and done
with start with because that's the nice
easy part once you're done with the body
you can start with your way down to the
legs now a lot of dogs are very
sensitive on their legs and their feet
and their stomachs so what I do here is
I will strip down until your dog becomes
uncomfortable if you don't show you
signs of discomfort then stop gallery
scissors and scissor from there on

you can also use stripping that just to
thin out the coat a little bit so it
becomes easier to strip
[Music]
[Music]
I'll use the scissors just to neaten up
the toes and get hair up from between
the toasters that can get grass seeds
and other things caught into it which
isn't very comfortable for the dogs
[Music]
as I said before don't neglect your
dog's paws you have to trim your dog's
of course regularly just be careful
because they do have a little bayonet
with the quick
which runs through the claw so make sure
you don't cut that cool so now we have
all the body and the legs done we just
have the tail the chest and the head
left to go the tail is SuperDuper easy
again it's just slightly different
because of the shape but you just pull
the hair out as before with the
underside of it just flip the hairs
backwards so you can see which ones
along and then you can pull them out
carefully as well around the bottom area
you can either use scissors just to make
it nice and clean or you can use your
finger just to pull the hair out again
depending on how comfortable your dog is
with that and to finish up its the head
and chest area this bit is a little bit
harder to get out sometimes and the dog
can find it comfortable so what I do is
I just hold the muzzle in my hands don't
squeeze it
just hold it so that it's nice and
stable it don't does try to pull away at
them because you don't want the dog to
hate being groomed at the end of the day
this has to be a very positive
experience all the way through give your
dog treats and praise of course it's the
same theory but you just have to be a
bit more careful so what I do is I use
my nails more than the bulk of my finger
just to get the hair out nice and
finally
around beard I used cynicism Archie
just the person who does find out much
when sometimes it pulls at the mouth
with bramble and other dogs I groomed I
haven't I just use my thumb and finger
in the same way to strip away the fur in
the muzzle with the eyebrows just be
careful they're not putting the eyelid
too much so make sure you're holding the
skin in place when you're doing that yes
again it's exactly the same something up
just use the nail more than the back of
the finger just to get the fine hairs
out and then you can use your scissors
to clean out the inside of the ear
finally we have the chest left to go
which some dogs do find that web
discomfort in so you just have to do
nice gentle movements with your plums
and your fingers to get this hair out
next you can have a terrier card or a
furminator
with the Furminator you have to wait
until your dog is completely stripped to
use it because it can actually damage
the outer wiry coat this is not to
replace stripping this is just to get
rid of all the dead undercoat once
you've finished stripping as I'll show
you
[Music]
pitarrio hat does solve the same thing
that's just know I star
