Oxford Dog Grooming behaviourist - Holistic Dog Grooming in Horspath

I am a Level 4 qualified, Dog Grooming Behaviourist in Oxford, certified with the Holistic Grooming Academy, I offer a 1:1 grooming service in a secure garden setting. Your dog’s emotional needs are always my top priority. I design bespoke dog grooming packages for each individual dog based on their physical, emotional, and psychological needs, ensuring that every dog can enjoy the process of coat care in a calm and stress-reduced way.

I work with dogs who, for various reasons, may not be keen on being groomed or require a sensitive approach to help them acclimate to the grooming process. I utilize proven, holistic, cooperative, and consent-based methods to ensure that both dogs and their owners feel more comfortable during dog grooming. My approach is kind, compassionate, positive, and calm, allowing me to groom dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments in a stress-reduced way.

If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, has health concerns, or simply prefers to have you nearby, you are welcome to stay with your dog to comfort and reassure. 

In certain circumstances eg. elderly dogs who have found trips to the groomers have become too difficult, I can arrange to visit your dog in your home within the Oxford area.

I use positive reward-based training methods to introduce puppies to grooming at their own pace. My puppy program is tailored to the needs of your puppy, usually incorporating 5-6 sessions to familiarize them with all aspects of the dog grooming process.

Every dog is different and requires a unique approach during the grooming process.  I ensure that each appointment is tailored to the individual needs of your pet. Pricing for dog grooming starts from £40/hour. 

Before the first grooming session, I recommend an introductory meeting with the three of us – you, your dog, and me. This meeting takes approximately 20 minutes and is complimentary, regardless of whether you decide to proceed.
