Come and learn the techniques to create a stunning Airedale to the breed standard. As with most things it takes time, guidance and practice to reach that standard. But WESWATC members are here to help and guide you so click on the link and watch our video for more information. Classes are held four times a year in Winscombe Somerset. The sessions are relaxed and informal with members, who are experienced in the stripping of an Airedale, on hand to show you how to approach the job yourself.

All dogs that attend must be kept on the lead when not on the grooming table. This stipulation is to keep an orderly relaxed atmosphere for both the clients 'The Airedales' and the owners. Please watch the video to gain an idea of what happens. The next session will be at 2pm -  on Sunday 18th January 2026 at Winscombe Community Centre, 11 Sandford Road, BS25 1JA. Details of future sessions are given on our Facebook Page.
