Hounds At Home Holistic Dog Grooming

Specialist independent holistic dog groomer covering South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. 
Driven to help rehabilitate rescues, naturally nervous and anxious dogs.

Dog Grooming

If You Dread Taking Your Beloved Nervous Dog To The Terrifying Groomers Then I Have A New Option For You.

It's important that you have been to the go-to brands and big salon groomers in your area with your anxious dog. Preferably a salon with multiple grooming stations, that’s perfect.

Why am I saying this? Because I want to prove to you that on a first visit it is possible for your dog to finally start to relax during a groom. You will never have to physically carry your dog into the salon, shaking, pulling away, and filled with anxiety again!

Showing you what is possible, taking a terrified nervous dog, which may snap or even growl at you, to a being so relaxed they fall asleep. This actually can happen!

I don’t just groom your dog, I help rehabilitate their anxiety.

After you see the difference Hounds At Home can make, you will never want to use a traditional salon again. No more dragging your dog through salon doors!

The Most Common Questions About How I Differ

Familiar enviornment
NO Restraints
Quiet Tools
Traditional Salon-Based Grooming

  • Use of Restraints: Most salons use restraints during grooming, which restricts a dog’s natural movement and heightens their anxiety by taking away their sense of control. This can lead to extreme stress, especially for dogs with a strong "flight" instinct.
     

  • Noise Overload: Loud blow dryers and clippers in salons often trigger anxiety and fear in dogs, especially those with noise sensitivity. This overwhelming noise can lead to trembling, stress, and an overall negative grooming experience.
     

  • Crating and Isolation: Dogs are often kept in crates before and after their grooming session, which can make them feel trapped and frightened, especially if they have separation anxiety. This is a common cause of excessive stress in dogs, especially rescue or anxious dogs.
     

  • One-Size-Fits-All Approach: Many salons follow a rigid, time-pressured process that does not take into account the specific needs of individual dogs. This assembly-line style can worsen a dog’s anxiety, leaving them more distressed than when they arrived.

Hounds At Home Holistic Dog Grooming

  • Familiar, Comforting Environment: I come to your home, where your dog feels safest. Surrounded by familiar scents like their favourite toy, your jacket you take them for walks in and their cosy bed. With the smalls and presence of their trusted owner, much of the anxiety associated with grooming disappears. Your dog remains calm, comfortable, and confident throughout the process.
     

  • No Restraints, Ever: I never use restraints. My focus is on making your dog feel safe and relaxed, giving them control over their environment and ensuring they feel secure at every stage of the groom.
     

  • Quiet Tools for a Calm Experience: I use the quietest clippers and blow dryers on the market, specifically chosen to avoid triggering your dog’s noise aversion. If the equipment causes distress, I switch to hand scissors and towel drying to keep your dog calm and comfortable.
     

  • Tailored Care: Every dog receives a fully customised grooming experience. For example, if your dog can’t handle the sound of clippers, I adjust my method and cut with scissors, ensuring a stress-free and gentle experience from start to finish.
     

  • Your Dog's Wellbeing is the Priority: Unlike rushed salon appointments, I take my time and work at your dog’s pace. If your dog needs breaks or can’t cope with certain grooming methods, I stop and adjust. My goal is not just a beautiful groom but a calm, happy dog who feels safe and understood.

Testimonials - What My Clients Say:

Abbie, Mabel’ s Owner

“I would 100% recommend Hounds At Home to anyone with a dog who is anxious at the groomers! My cocker spaniel Mabel got so anxious when visiting the groomers she would take hours to calm down when we were home.


Mabel had her first groom today and within half an hour of the groom starting I could see a change as she started to calm down.
 

Mabel has definitely found her new groomer and she’s definitely feeling proud of her new cut!"
