About Just Think Dog Ltd


Just Think Dog Ltd is a new concept in dog grooming. Incorporating training and grooming using the latest scientific methods giving your dog the best experience. We take a more holistic approach and look at the needs of each dog as a whole. Building resilience and confidence for our four legged clients so they know and understand what to expect and giving them a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Over recent years the science of emotions in animals has been more widely researched and we are realising
there is a lot more to them than we previously thought. They really are not so different from us with thoughts,
 feelings and emotions.

So how does this relate to grooming?
It quickly became apparent that groomers are in a unique position. We have the dog in our care for up to 2 hours and see all kinds of behaviours from excited, anxious, fearful sometimes just over excitable pups. We see separation anxiety, painful joints on older dogs, skin conditions, puppies dealing with adolescence.
By combining knowledge of grooming, the science of skin care and the science of behaviour can only
give us more understanding of our dogs needs.

I wanted to create a salon dedicated to how dogs see the world. From the sights to the scent, sounds and a fun 'safe zone' full of enrichment toys for your dog to enjoy. With training to help the dog understand what is expected of them. Training workshops are available for owners so they know how to keep their dogs coat in great condition, to teach co operative care and to introduce puppies in a stress free, fun course. I can also offer workshops to groomers who wish to broaden their knowledge in handling and behaviour and how to prevent common issues arising.

It is time we looked at grooming dogs from a new perspective.

Where Training and Grooming Come Together
Just Think Dog Ltd
The Science of Dog Grooming


Consent Grooming

Consent or cooperative grooming is all about choices for the dog. The initial training involves 'start buttons'. This is a way of communication for the dog to let us know they are ready. When we work with the dogs, amazing things happen. The dogs are more comfortable and relaxed. It becomes an enjoyable visit not just a necessity.
Some older dogs who may have become fearful at the groomers for whatever reason can be helped with a personalised behaviour modification programme.

Dog Training

We offer both in person and on line courses. Not just in grooming, also offering an on line course in general dog training. We know training builds bonds, resilience and confidence in our dogs.
We have the Good Dog Level 1 on line course to get you started in general training. We will soon be adding Coat Care and Maintenance and Cooperative Care on line. 
In person we offer Start them Right puppy course, Coat Care and Cooperative Care as well as Behaviour Modification.
