Dog Hand-stripping in Prague:
Professional care for wire-haired breeds
Do you have a dachshund, a Border Terrier, a Jack Russell, or another wire-haired companion at home? Then hand-stripping (trimming) is the most important procedure for their health and beauty. In our salon, Módní pejsek, we specialize in professional hand-stripping that respects the natural needs of these breeds.
What is hand-stripping and why is it essential?
Unlike breeds that are clipped with a machine, wire-haired dogs have a specific hair growth cycle. Their hair does not fall out on its own – it remains in the skin, where it dies. If this old coat is not removed, it clogs the pores, leading to irritation, itching, and loss of the coat's protective function.
Hand-stripping is the process of gently pulling out mature hair. It is a painless procedure (if performed at the right time), thanks to which the skin can breathe freely and new, healthy hair can grow.
Showcase of our work: Jack Russell Terrier (Broken and Rough)
Hand-stripping is a demanding manual technique that we perform in our salon with maximum precision for all wire-haired breeds. For a better idea of the result, you can look at our transformations of Jack Russell Terriers, where the difference after grooming is most noticeable:
-
Broken type (broken coat): The coat is shorter and flatter. In the photos of our clients, you can see that after professional hand-stripping, the dog looks groomed and almost smooth, yet retains its hard protective barrier.
-
Rough type (rough coat): These "teddy bears" quickly lose their silhouette without regular care. Our "before and after" transformations of the rough type show how the dog's athletic physique stands out after removing the excess old coat.

We guarantee the same top-quality care for other breeds as well:
-
Dachshunds (wire-haired): To maintain their typical silhouette and hard coat.
-
Terriers: Border Terriers, Welsh Terriers, Parson Russell, and others.
-
Griffons and Schnauzers: All breeds whose coat has a "wiry" texture.
Why choose hand-stripping instead of machine clipping?
Many owners make the mistake of having their wire-haired dog clipped with a machine. However, the result is:
-
❌Loss of color: The coat turns grey, fades, and loses its shine.
-
❌ Change in structure: The hair permanently softens, curls, and begins to tangle uncontrollably.
-
❌ Health risks: The skin becomes irritated/stifled, which can lead to eczema and itching.
Regular hand-stripping at our salon in Prague ensures:
-
✅ Rich color and typical coarse structure (natural raincoat).
-
✅Healthy skin without irritation.
-
✅ Minimum hair in your home – a properly hand-stripped dog hardly sheds at all!
Our philosophy.
In our salon, we rely on honest handwork. We understand the differences between individual coat types and approach each dog individually. Our goal is a satisfied dog and an owner who leaves with a perfectly groomed pet.
Choose the Right Care for Your Companion
We know every dog is unique. That’s why at our salon Módní pejsek in Prague 2 (Nusle), we offer three grooming options to suit your pet's needs:
-
COAT STRIPPING (TRIMOVÁNÍ)
(Standalone procedure: includes thorough brushing and professional hand-stripping)
Choose this option if your dog is afraid of water or hair dryers. The procedure is done "dry," and you can bathe your dog yourself at home once they are relaxed. -
WELLNESS TRIM PACKAGE
(Includes: Stripping, Complex Hygiene, soothing mask)
Our most popular complete care. It includes bathing, which is essential after stripping: it helps us wash away any loose hair residue that could otherwise irritate the skin. Your dog leaves clean, fresh, and fully groomed. -
WELLNESS TRIM LUX PACKAGE
(Includes: Stripping, Complex Hygiene, premium mask, Ozone Therapy and hydromassage)
The ultimate skin health treatment. Ozone therapy is invaluable after stripping: it deeply cleanses pores, prevents inflammation, and soothes the skin much more effectively than standard masks.
