HOW TO DO A HOW TO DO A WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIER. THIS IS HER FIRST VISIT TO GENTLE GROOMING , SHES IN A BIT OF A PICKLE BUT TURNED OUT GOOD IN THE END .
You only strip them if you want them in shows - these are house dogs and besides, stripping expertise is hard to find. I know this because we have owned many westies over the last 30 years.
@@mrp410 I had my Westie in the early 60s and striped him myself. Put a full bedsheet on the floor, it was plàytime ànd I think either wore all I striped off or had it in my mouth! Jamie was my favorite only dog; I still miss him. Hoping to get another this spring but, may be too senior for a breeder. How many Westies have you had over the years? Warm (well actually, we're freezing) Regards from Chicago.
She is not being too rough. We are all trained to hold the beard or you risk them moving their head and getting scissors in the eye. Also I know plenty that are clipped. It’s called a pet trim. I clip and hand strip westies. This is a fab groom. If the dog hated it or was in pain he wouldn’t be so chill trust me!
The groomer is being to rough with brushing. That is why the dog was being snippy. Have you ever brushed your skin with that type of brush, it hurts!!! This is why I never take my maltese to a groomer.
Judging by the matting, it is a good thing to take the skirt short, because the owner apparently is not going to maintain any length of coat on the dog.
Poor baby-it's shakin like a leaf. This is why I don't take my Westie to a groomer. I gently cut her hair and she loves it. She doesn't like the noise from the trimmer. And she has NEVER snapped at me! Sorry but couldn't finish this video. If someone treated me like that I'd bite them for sure!
Pff she's not to rough. Dog shake to get out frustration when they are bored and can't remove themselves from a situation. I bet you go home and eat meat that are really been brutally handled without even blinking.
Gentle????? That poor dog was terrified!! What kind of idiot would use sharp pointed scissors on a nervous, jumpy dog, and ESPECIALLY around the eyes????? The poor little thing could have been blinded or maimed. That mean looking person should never be allowed around dogs again. This is also why I groom my own Westie and he looks better than her "professional" job. Put her in dog jail.
Mon Tobby adorais aller chez le coiffeur quand il en ressortait il était fier et tenais sa tête. Encore plus droite que d habitude mon dieu comme je l ai aime ce chien
Se ve que no está feliz el pobre westy. Muchos tirones de su pelo. El sufre. La tijera muy peligrosa. No lo hace con amor. Es solo un trabajo, pienso. No le tires los pelos de su barba. No me gustó su corte.
Carrie Doss I know a lot of westie breeders And nobody of them shaves their westies because The standard of the westie is to have a Nice wavy And wiry coat And by shaving you destroy The breed.
@@juliazackova6589 again, do some research. It doesn't destroy the Westie. Not everyone wants a westie to be in that exact specific westie cut. Parent preference doesn't mean it "ruins" the breed or coat.
@@carriesnest But clipping, instead of hand stripping, destroys the natural wire coat of the Westie, and makes it coat soft and straight. Westies are supposed to look scruffy and have a wire coat. Once you clip them it's all gone.
Much too rough! Always pulling on chin hairs. Easily can tell this is a job and not a passion . Skirt is too short. Westie owner for 30 plus years.
This is painful for me to watch. It is not proper grooming for a Westie. A Westie should be "stripped" not clipped. It is almost a lost art/skill.

I think she is too rough!! I wouldn't like to be brushed!
She is too rough on the Westie. The skirt is too short.

Ich bin entsetzt 🤔Der arme Schatz,,Tut mir leid,aber sie hat keine Ahnung wie man einen Westie macht,,
Que pesar con el perrito, esta señora se la de profesional en corte de pelo. Es una torturadora. No le da confianza ni cariño.
When it's yours you can cuddle him. This is a video to show you how.
Hated this clip, music annoying and dog looks frightened. Rough in my opinion.
yo tambien tengo uno westie

Thanks. Learn of things not to do.
THE TITLE SHOULD BE HOW NOT TO GROOM A WESTIE
GROOMER DOESN’T SEEM TO LIKE DOGS!
The poor dog looks terrified as well as terrible. Never known a weather been shaved before. Wouldn't let you near mine
Yes, she's clueless.
@@methvenarundell3057 I thought it looked good for a clippered Westie.
Oh shut up. She's doing a good job.
@@earlymorning93 She is very rough with the Westie. He didn't like it and you could tell. He kept wanting to bite h
her.
Thats a crap cut!!!
U have no idea what u are doing :)))
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩
She looks beautiful x
Nunca se deve usar máquina no westie

Nice job most groomers would have done an all over clip on this one.
Your videos are great. Do you bath the Westie before or after?The opinions are different so I ask you
S. Debler You can’t wash a westie with a shampoo.
@@juliazackova6589 We have a shampoo for white-furred dogs, always used it no problem.
Very informative thanks. What size trimmer guard are you using? Ah I see it - #5. Thanks!
Brava 👍👏che bella Westy 😘
Nice viewing thanks, and also helpful.
Thanks!! What a beautiful dog was hiding under all this fur 🙃
I'm soon going to get a Westie so it was very useful
No blending shears..... the head is not that good. ☹
Nice work! i miss my westie and her profile
Non mi piace, gonnellino troppo corto, no frangetta
there is nothing gentle about your grooming sorry to say
It only looks rough because the video is sped up to save time !!!
Je trouve qu' elle a des gestes brusque elle n est pas très tendre

Woooaaahh definitely not the pattern for a westie skirt 🤨

No way you cut too short and I don't like the boxy face look. I keep my westie natural.. he's gorgeous
..not done with love
It's just a job to her!
the white terrier dog name Seppi❤
What is a lilac comb attachment?
*THE WESTIE SHOULD BE HAND STRIPPED, IT CAN NOT BE SHAVED! IF IT WOULD BE SHAVED OR CUT BY A MACHINE ITS COAT WILL BE DESTROYED!!!*
I totally agree with you ! Shaving might cause skin diseases!
Very untrue. Do some research!

I'm starting learn dog grooming and your videos very helped me. Thank you

Hi , I am these little vids are helping up . I wish UA-cam was around when I first started grooming 😊🐾
You must be foreign as your
English is not well formed!
Very good
Q feo corte
👍
Disappointed yet again with groomers hacking off their skirts (kilts). It is easy if one is just cutting everything off!!!
I have two Westies and prefer no skirt. Many Westie owners do the same. A groomer doesn't just remove the skirt without being told to do so
Bravo très bien toilettage 😍😍😍
