My aim is to provide your dog with as stress free a groom as possible. At Bonsai-Dogroom your dog will be groomed on a one to one basis: this is often preferable to a busy, noisy salon environment, which can be particularly stressful for anti-social or nervous dogs.
I do not use cage dryers or holding cages, your dog will not be left unattended at any time. Please discuss any issues your dog may have so that the grooming process may be adjusted to suit your dogs needs..
I only groom small to medium dogs, below 18kg in weight. No larger/heavier than the average sized Cockapoo / Cocker Spaniel.
The sooner your puppy experiences the sights, sounds and smells at the groomers the more likely they are to be comfortable with the process. It can be overwhelming for dogs to experience so many new things at once, so to allow your dog to gradually get used to grooming I offer a puppy package.
1st visit is meet and treat where you and your puppy can say hello without your puppy having to get anything done.
2nd visit is a brief brush through (not suitable if the puppy has become matted). You will receive information on how best to care for your dog’s coat and how you can prepare your puppy at home for their first grooming experience. Your pup will be introduced to the grooming tools and handling procedures used whilst you are present to help them feel more confident.
3rd visit is a mini groom.
Here are some of the happy dogs who love to come along to Bonsai Dogroom.
I have been taking my Cockapoo to be groomed by Janne at Bonsai Dogroom for a few years now. Janne is very patient and kind, always asks what you want and will discuss with you what she is going to do. My boy always comes back looking and smelling amazing, I also recommend Janne and pass on her number to anyone who asks where Biscuit was groomed.
I have been delighted with the work carried out on our Cairn Terrier by Janne at Bonsai Dogroom.The attention to detail and the caring one to one grooming given by Janne is fantastic !. The cuts have lasted for a good while too, Millie always looks so happy when she is at Bonsai Dogroom and always has a great job done.
Janne at Bonsai-Dogroom had been grooming Bailey my Cockapoo for more than three years now and I would highly recommend her. Bailey loves going to Bonsai-Dogroom and literally runs up the path every time he's that excited to be going for his groom. He always comes out looking gorgeous and smelling lovely.

When dogs are brushed and handled frequently by their owners they are usually more relaxed during their time at the groomers. Brushing your dog at home will prevent matts and knots from developing which in turn helps both owner and dog view this as a pleasant experience: this is preferable to having to deal with the knots and matts once they have developed, and which inevitably leads to your dog not enjoying being brushed and the owner not enjoying brushing. You will be given advice on how you can brush your dog efficiently, what tools would best suit your dog's coat and how best to prevent or deal with grooming related issues.
I have always had pet dogs in my life and began working with animals in my early 20’s. My interest in both plants and animals resulted in me taking a BSc in Biology. I became increasingly interested in learning about canine behaviour after getting my Labrador-German shepherd cross, and enjoyed attending training classes and agility with him so much that it led me to study the Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour Management. After gaining this qualification I completed a dog grooming course and have been employed as a professional dog groomer since 2016. During this time I have gained my City and Guilds Level 3 Certificate Introductory to Dog Grooming, my Companion Animal First Aid for Pet Care Professionals, and my OCN level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming. I enjoy working with dogs very much and fully appreciate how individual each one is and how much they are a part of your family and life..
