Puppy grooming in Edinburgh

“After attending and loving a GRC competition trial run by Linnea, I signed up for Walk and Train’s shadow programme — and I’m so glad I did! Between both Linnea and Gregor, they were full of knowledge and genuine love for the work they do. Throughout the programme, I got to discuss my future and how to get into the dog training world as well as observe a wide range of training sessions, from puppy development and obedience work to behaviour modification and GRC training. Each session offered something new to learn, and both Linnea and Gregor took the time to explain methods, reasoning, and the “why” behind every technique! What I loved was how calm, patient, consistent and fun they were with every dog and client. The ability to tailor their approach to each individual dog was brilliant and made me reflect on how I can apply the same adaptability in my own work. The experience was educational, motivating and so much fun — I came away with a deeper understanding of canine behaviour, training structure and the importance of clear communication between handler and their dog. I’d highly recommend this shadow programme to anyone looking to grow their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, or simply spend time learning from passionate, and skilled trainers! I can’t wait to continue developing my training journey with everything I took away from this experience ❤️”

“Omg what can I say. I took my wee Princess here today for a full groom for the first time. Will was amazing with her as she has always been nervous about getting a groom. We had a good chat while he let her roam about for a bit so she could have a good sniff and feel relaxed rather than just starting straight away which I thought was lovely. He really does have a caring nature for dogs. The cut itself is absolutely perfect, smooth and on point no scissor marks in sight! One happy pooch and one happy owner. We have found our forever groomer. Thank you so much Will x”

“Excellent professionals - top quality service! Taking my Persian cat to Joanne’s Grooming Salon has been a game changer. They are amazing with my nervous cat making her so at ease. After each groom she is lighter and happier - I can’t thank Joanne and the team enough for their brilliant work!”

“This was the 4th number I rang to get dog's claws clipped (purely based on distance from home) and was the only premises to answer the phone. Really helpful and managed to squeeze me in that very afternoon. Even clipped the dog at reception as his first time and a bit nervous.”

“Susan is just as it says "TOP DOG GROOMING"...we have been going for nearly 5 years now and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Our "wee man" comes back just beautiful every 6 weeks. Susan says he is a pleasure to groom,which makes matters even better. Lovely friendly person too Susan!”

“Took Pugsie to to get groomed at andys today He did a great job. Had tried a few groomers before with no success as Pugsie is a rescue dog and had to be anaesthetised to be groomed due to anxiety problem. Had read reviews about Andy and thought we should give him a try. So glad we did as it was not good for Pugsie to be put to sleep all the time to get groomed. GREAT job Andy. Will be bringing Pugsie to you for grooming in the future. Thanks for doing a good job would recommend you to everyone.”
