Dogge Lane Brighton

Dogge Lane Brighton sits in bayside Brisbane and is known among its clients for coat work on demanding breeds. A Rough Collie owner who tried several places first says the double coat is kept healthy and comes back looking show-ready every visit. Another brought in an older, larger dog whose coat had matted over a busy few months and had it clipped back without fuss, at a price she considered fair for the work involved.

Patience is the word that turns up in nearly every review. An eight-year-old rescue on his first ever trip to a groomer, a dog with a few quirks that had to be worked around, an over-excited staffy who made the job harder than it needed to be — all are described as handled calmly by Josie and the team, with no sense of the job being rushed. Several owners say this is the first groomer they have properly trusted. It suits first-timers, strong or excitable dogs, and coats that need real time.
