Does your dog spiral into panic the moment a brush appears? Do you find yourself dreading – or outright avoiding – grooming appointments because it’s such a stressful ordeal for both of you? Maybe your groomer has even said they can’t take your dog anymore. You’re not alone — and I’m here to change that.

My name is Daniella and I'm a certified Holistic Grooming Behaviourist and the founder of Woody's Holistic Grooming & Coaching, 

For years, I was a hands-on groomer specialising in dogs who were terrified of grooming. But what I learned was this:

Real change doesn’t happen on the grooming table.
It happens at home, with you.

So now I empower pet owners with the knowledge and skills to help dogs who find grooming difficult learn to feel calm, safe, and in control again — using trust-based, holistic methods that respect their emotions and boundaries - all in the comfort of your own home.

 I don’t  groom dogs. I teach owners how to groom their dogs themselves.

Most grooming problems can’t be solved with another trip to a salon —
they’re solved by helping the dog and the owner work together at home.

My work focuses on:

• Understanding why your dog struggles
   
• Reducing fear, stress and overwhelm
   
• Helping you to build trust and cooperative care skills
   
• Teaching you safe, gentle grooming skills
   
• Creating achievable routines you can maintain
   

Dogs who can’t cope with traditional grooming environments —
and owners who want a better way.
