Odessa the Borzoi came in for a groom today. And yes, she somehow made the whole thing look effortlessly glamorous (as always).

We kept things calm and made sure every step felt comfortable.
She left looking floaty, silky and very pleased with herself.

Meet Ruben the Westie!

He’s still pretty new to the Hackney Barkers gang. This was only his third visit, but we’re already totally smitten with him (and his lovely humans too!).

Fun fact: we’re planning to compete with Ruben next year, so watch this space!

Swipe to check out his cute before-and-after glow-up.

And guess what? We filmed his whole groom and it’s up on our YouTube channel. Check it out, and we’d love if you subscribe too!

Ciccio’s coat has come such a long way!

When he first came to us, his fur was thick, curly, and blonde (swipe to the last photo to see!). Clipping/scissoring had changed its natural texture, but with time, patience, and the right grooming technique (hand stripping), we were able to restore his rich, silky red coat.

Now he’s looking like the Irish Setter he’s meant to be, and we can’t wait to see him again soon!

Poodles are known for their elegance and poise... but young Andy had other ideas!
Striking a regal pose was the last thing on his mind-there were far more exciting things to sniff, chase, and explore. After plenty of blurry action shots, we finally got this one. It’s not the most polished pose, but it perfectly captures his playful spirit, and we wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️

This grooming technique keeps the coat healthy and looking natural!

Carding removes dead undercoat without messing up the texture-unlike clipping, which can change the coat over time. It’s perfect for Spaniels, Setters, and Retrievers to keep their coats sleek and shedding under control!

Here’s Leo, the handsome Picardy Spaniel, mid-carding and happily munching on his treat!

Meet Ghost, the coolest pup in town!
A part of the Hackney Barkers family for over 2 years, this guy’s style is always on point.
From Asian fusion to his latest mullet/mohawk, we’ve had so much fun experimenting with his looks. And no matter the style, Ghost always rocks it ❤️

I absolutely adore Greyhounds!

Before opening Hackney Barkers, I hadn’t had the pleasure of spending much time with them, but that quickly changed. Luckily, they’re a familiar sight around Hackney!

Most of the Greyhounds we see have been rescued from the racing industry. They’re often a little shy and reserved, whether by nature or because of their past experiences.
But not Agnes! She walked in with confidence, happiness, and the waggiest tail!

Swipe to see a short video of her ultrasonic teeth cleaning treatment and a satisfying before-and-after shot! Today, we focused on one side of her mouth-can’t wait to see her again next week for another session.

Our Story

About me: I have two dogs, a Pomeranian and a Toy Phantom Poodle, I also have a cat. Growing up surrounded by animals, from chickens and hamsters to birds and reptiles and of course many dogs and cats. I knew that working with animals would only be the job for me. In 2011, I decided to take a leap of faith and quit my job as a receptionist and do a Dog Grooming Course. I have never looked back since. I was hired as a grooming assistant, at the location of my course, and then progressed to grooming teacher and assessor. Here I gained all qualifications needed. As Dog Grooming styles are ever changing, I like to keep up to date by attending seminars and competitions. I have competed and won in many Grooming Competitions in the UK and Internationally, you can see my results on the 'About' tab under Awards. I have appeared in Grooming Magazines, such as Pro Groomer, with competition results and providing my personal Grooming Top Tips. I am also fully insured for grooming, pet taxi, boarding, dog sitting and dog walking. If you require any further information, I am happy to talk with you. Thank you Jade
