Dog Grooming

Barking Styles

Introducing our in-house grooming service, Barking Styles, led by our skilled trainer Lucy. With a decade of experience in grooming and a Level 3 City & Guilds qualification, Lucy’s expertise shines. Her grooming journey began during her three-year Animal Management studies at Sparsholt College, where she delved into the world of dog grooming. She then pursued a Level 3 diploma in dog grooming, honing her skills. Lucy’s passion led her to establish Barking Styles in 2018 after starting off by grooming for family and friends.

Barking Styles stands as a professional, qualified, and insured dog grooming facility. Lucy takes a personalised approach, providing one-on-one attention to each dog. Multi-dog appointments are considered only for those within the same family. Regardless of size, style, or temperament, each dog is treated uniquely, tailoring the grooming process and techniques to suit their individual needs. Grooming at Barking Styles is not just about hygiene; it’s a pampering and soothing experience designed for your furry friend’s enjoyment and well-being. Lucy collaborates closely with your pooch to ensure a positive and relaxing grooming encounter.

Our array of services includes full grooms, styling, hand stripping, nail and ear care. We extend a warm welcome to puppies, offering introductory grooming sessions and packages to familiarise them with the grooming process, applicable to all breeds up to six months old. We understand the importance of instilling grooming comfort from a young age to promote stress-free maintenance of their skin and coat.

For those seeking an extra indulgence for their canine companion, we present a variety of mini spa treatments. We share your desire for your dog to look their finest, and Lucy partners with you to achieve your preferred grooming style while prioritising the well-being of your pet.

Lucy’s specialisation in handling fearful and aggressive dogs sets Barking Styles apart. She employs her expertise to create a comfortable and secure grooming environment, often dedicating extra time to ensure your dog’s relaxation and resolution of any issues that may arise during the process.
