Hello!

Hi my name is Penny Wood and I am the proud founder and owner of Harrogate Dog Grooming With Penny Wood. I established the company in 2012.

I am CITY & GUILDS trained achieving a distinction in both Level II and III in dog grooming

This isn’t only essential to teach how to groom a dog to a breed or pet standard but also teaches anatomy and physiology and how to properly health check a dog and assess their temperament in order to deal with each dog on an individual basis.

You and your pup will only ever see me allowing us to build a lasting relationship built on trust and friendship. This allows consistency which is a game changer when it comes to nervous or anxious dogs.

Also, I only groom one dog at a time (unless they are from the same household ) so there is an absolute minimum of contact with other dogs, a must for reactive or frightened pups.

Your pup will only need to stay with me for as long as the groom takes. When they are ready, they go home. No cages or waiting around

The main reasons for being a dog groomer are simple.
I LOVE dogs and as someone once famously said "Do something you love and you’ll never work a day In your life ". Job done

I work from home in my garden based studio which is private and quiet and a lovely place for your pup to watch the birds and look out onto the garden. There are no interruptions to upset them (unlike in a shop environment)as my gate is locked once they are inside and isn’t opened until they leave.

My studio is equipped with a Hydrobath (this has a therapeutic massage shower ) which is great for getting your pup squeaky clean, as it works deep into the dirty hair and skin , ensuring a good foundation for a great haircut.

I use a range of shampoos and match your pup with the right one for them.
I also have an electric table which lowers right down to ground level so great for any big or elderly dogs as they don’t need to over exert to get onto my table.

I have installed a heater / air conditioning system to ensure that the temperature is just right all year round.

therapeutic Hydrobath

A Dog Hydro bath works by spraying a high volume of warm water through a conventional shower head. This will penetrate and massage the thickest of dog coats for fast, efficient cleaning and grooming. The shampoo is added to the water. The shampoo mixes with the water and is sprayed at a high volume using the powerful water pump, allowing the solution to soak right through to the dog’s skin where most problems occur. The water is re-circulated around the hydrobath before draining back into the sump. The shampoo and water solution passes through a stainless mesh filter before being pumped back through the shower head, this ensure’s the dog’s coat is cleaned thoroughly.
