Me again. I must say that this video is amazing. We have a westie, 1,5 years old, our first dog. This video has all the information that I've searched for before, without finding any good info. Finally I found this! Thank you!
ohh so wonderful to hear Louise !! Thank you so much . Please don't hesitate to contact us, if we can help you further . www.transgroom.com Kind regards , Kitty
Thank you, Kitty! Your masterful teaching and showing us the details is absolutely fantastic! This is the best education I have ever received on how to groom my five-year-old retired American champion Westie. He was always groomed by the handler and I'm trying hard to learn how to do it myself. YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOU!

Best Westie grooming video I've ever seen! I learned so much! I would have liked to have heard more about the eye area and getting the right "expression".
EXCELLENT ! La meilleure vidéo de toilettage Westie que j'ai vu. Des conseils précieux. Totalement professionnel. Le chien est magnifique ! Il y a malheureusement beaucoup trop de gens qui ne savent pas du tout toiletter le Westie... et qui rasent le chien. C'est terrible. Cette vidéo est juste parfaite. Ce chien est prêt pour un concours de beauté :-)
Thank you for this tutorial Kitty & Poppy 🐾🐾💜I really enjoyed it 😊and have learn’t a lot and love that you have listed all the products and the different sections of the tutorial,very impressed 🐾🐾💜 xx
Like the lady said below would love to see more detail of grooming around the eye area and how to get the correct ‘expression’.Another video would be wonderful Kitty 🐾🐾💛
@@kittydekeersgieter would it be possible to do a Westie Head Tutorial showing more detail of what you do around the eye area and getting the correct expression.You are so talented would love to see this and I’m pretty sure many people would 👍🏻🐾🐾🫶🏻🫶🏻
I have been trained to not bathe 2 weeks before or after the stripping is done. We dont bathe right before beause the pores will close up and make it harder to strip and harder to get a grip on the hairs. Also we dont want to wash the dog right after a bathe again because the pores are open and we dont want to have shampoo and stuff before the skin has calmed down abit. What is your take on this? I was curious since you wash the dog right before you strip it but you seem to not wash her back, wich is where she is stripped the most ! Thank you for these high quality videos of CORRECT grooms for all the different breeds! Its so interesting and inspiring to watch!
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
Thank you Kitty, Your awesome Westie trimming demonstration. I could learn a lot from you. I myself trim my Westies for the dog show. Your photos would be interesting for me as my illustrative material. Is it possible to get these? Thank you Martina

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.
I like westies and cairns in their 'natural' look. Just hand stripped rolling coat all over, no scirrors, no long skirts. But thats a no go for show dogs ofcourse. My cairns look beautifully natural.
Hi Charlie, thank you for your comment. i understand you perfectly. For dogshows it's not always the natural way . As long as we can Handstrip, right?! :-) I also like the natural way and handstrip every hair. Kind regards. Take care
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.
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 .
