Holistic Grooming

At A Bark Above, we believe grooming should never be a battle and if your dog has been labelled spicy, anxious, or too hard to handle, we see them differently. Our holistic, one-on-one sessions are tailored to your dog’s individual needs, using Fear Free, reward-based methods that prioritise trust, choice, and emotional safety. There ais no force, and no rush, just calm and comfortable experiences that help your dog feel understood.

From gentle first grooms for puppies to compassionate care for elderly dogs or those with big feelings, we’re here to change how your dog feels about grooming. Because every pet deserves a respectful, positive experience built on partnership!

We love our feline friends too and treat them with the same respect and care they deserve.

For us, grooming isn’t just a service, it’s a relationship built on trust, patience, and understanding. Whether it's your pup’s very first groom, your senior dog needing a gentle touch, or a pet with big feelings around handling, we’re here to offer an experience that honours their needs and emotions every step of the way. With thoughtfully structured, Fear Free sessions and tailored support, our goal is to make grooming something your pet feels safe and confident about—not something they have to endure. Because every animal deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with kindness!
