About House of Dog
House of Dog is a mobile dog grooming service operating across Canberra and the surrounding ACT, bringing a customised, air-conditioned grooming van directly to the client's home. Founded by Tania Piddington, who holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Zoology along with certifications in pet grooming, dog instruction and canine first aid and CPR, the business pairs formal qualifications with years of hands-on experience fostering, training and grooming rescue dogs.
The approach is built around one-on-one, personalised attention. Rather than spending the day waiting in a cage, each dog is groomed individually in the van outside its own home, an arrangement aimed at keeping anxious or easily stressed dogs calm. Grooming runs from a warm hydrobath through to hygiene tidies, de-shedding and undercoat removal, full even-length clips and custom style grooms finished by clipping or scissoring. A forced-air dryer is used where the dog is comfortable with it.
For Canberra owners who would rather skip the trip to a salon, House of Dog offers grooming done at the doorstep with a focus on a low-stress experience for the dog.
