Hand stripping is the ancient technique of keeping harsh coats in peak condition to protect the dogs skin as it does the job it was meant to do. It is the correct way to groom many breeds in order to promote vibrant color and a harsh, crisp texture to the coat. Hand stripping was developed by the people who actually used dogs for their original purpose as the animals went to ground to hunt vermin, or worked game out in the fields and thick underbrush. It was utilized long before the age of modern electric clippers or razor-sharp shears, which ultimately destroy both the correct color and texture of the coat.

In this video, we introduce you to the basic tools and techniques of hand stripping.
