Thornit powder is brilliant to use for stripping the ears, an old product that's been used successfully for years. Makes the job easy & nips any problems in the bud.

I use a hemostat to grab up a little bit of hair at a time and then gently twist it around until it comes out. So, I am not really pulling straight out. It is a gentle pressure as you twist it around the hemstat end and then it just glides on out without them wincing or making a sound.

My dog spike as u can see has really big ears and they don't stand very long that is When they stand at all. Should I shave the whole ear once? I don't like the whole taping thing much. Haven't tried it and prefer not to if I don't have to. He is a vert good boy and pretty much let's me do whatever I wanna do lol
