STRIPPING THE EAR | THE BASICS | DOG GROOMING

Today we will be demonstrating the alternative to clipping the top portion of our dog's ear. English Cocker Spaniel's ears are typically clipped at the top to accentuate their low ear set and aid in proper expression. Ernie's ears are now clipped but for a long time I stripped the top portion instead! Many people chose to do this with their English Cockers especially red and orange roan dogs because clipping can change and dull the coat color in that area. In this video I am both carding and pulling the hair to get a soft smooth finish.

Your videos are so helpful and interresant . I've got two spaniel cockers and it's not really easy to know how to groom them perfectly
Do you think of doing a video about the legs ?

I have new American Cocker puppy and I’ve learned so much watching your videos. What brand of scissors do you prefer? A medium price point please. I know some can be very pricy. Thanks
