Grooming at The Barker Shop

Everything your dog needs to look (and smell) gorgeous

✂️

Full groom

Bath, blow dry, full cut and style, nails and a tidy of the face, feet and ears. Finished exactly how you like it.

🛁

Bath & tidy

A fresh-up between full grooms: a wash, a blow dry and a neat trim where it matters.

🐾

Puppy introductions

Gentle first visits so young dogs learn that grooming is calm, safe and fun. A great start for life.

Why one-to-one?

Calm, quiet and just for your dog

There’s no busy, barking waiting room here. Only one dog is groomed at a time, so nervous dogs, first-timers and seniors can settle in at their own pace. Before your first visit I’ll ask a few questions about your dog, so I know exactly what they need.

  • Fully qualified and fully insured groomer
  • Only one dog in the salon at a time
  • A clean, calm and friendly salon
  • Your dog styled the way you want, every time
