Cutting the stress out of grooming — creating trust, joy, and lifelong partnerships.

Holistic, consent-based grooming education for dogs and guardians in South West England.

Many dogs find traditional grooming salons overwhelming, which can make coat care stressful for both pets and their guardians. At Woody’s Grooming & Guardian Coaching, I specialise in teaching calm, cooperative grooming techniques that you can use at home, helping your dog feel safe and secure in a familiar environment.

As an award-winning Certified Holistic Grooming Behaviourist, I use gentle, positive methods to build trust, confidence, and connection. Through one-to-one coaching, online courses, workshops, and seminars, I teach guardians how to understand their dog’s body language, work at their dog’s pace, and transform coat care into a positive bonding experience.

My holistic approach to grooming education integrates both emotional and physical wellbeing. I collaborate with clinical animal behaviourists, nutritionists, and veterinary physiotherapists to ensure a complete, dog-centred experience that goes far beyond just coat care.

Whether you’re a guardian in South West England or joining online from further afield, I’ll help you learn stress-free grooming techniques that turn routine care into a calm, trust-building activity — strengthening your bond with your dog for life.
