— The services

unhurried grooming, finished by hand.

Every service is one dog at a time. We never run two appointments in parallel — your dog isn't waiting their turn next to another dog they don't know.

A relaxed wash, blow-dry, ear-clean, nail-trim and a finishing brush. Perfect for first-timers, anxious dogs, or in-between full grooms.

The Full Groom

Bath + breed-specific clip + scissor finish + ears + nails + sanitary trim + cologne. Shirley's signature service — what most regulars book.

— Meet the groomer

Hello, I'm Shirley.

I run this studio out of a converted room at my home in Warner. I work with one dog at a time — never two — because I want to know your dog by the second visit, not the tenth.

Most of my regulars are dogs who didn't love a big salon. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, three-legged dogs, scared-of-clippers dogs. We go at your dog's pace, and we stop when they say stop.

Drop-off is at the gate. I'll text you a finished photo when they're ready. That's all there is.

Shirley keeps you informed all the way through and is at the gate ready when she's done. Our anxious cavoodle actually wags now when we pull up.

things people ask first.

Where is the studio?
5 Pallas Parade, Warner QLD 4500 — a converted room at the back of my home. Address shared on booking. Drop-off is at the gate so you don't need to come inside. Five minutes off the Bruce Hwy.
Is it really just you?
Yes — every appointment is one dog and me, start to finish. I don't run parallel appointments and I don't have an assistant. It's slower, but it's why nervous dogs settle here.
My dog is nervous / senior / a rescue. Should I bring them?
Yes — these are most of my regulars. Ask about The Quiet Day: the same full groom, but split into two shorter visits with a rest in between. Same price as the standard full groom.
How do I book?
Easiest way is to text or call 0420 774 150, or email shirleydoggroomingstudio@gmail.com. I usually reply within an hour during the day.
Do you take cats?
Sorry — dogs only. I trained for years on dog coats specifically and I'd rather refer you to someone who works with cats properly.

come and meet the studio.

Drop me a text with your dog's name, breed, and a date you'd like. I'll come back to you the same day.
