Live Love Bark Dog Grooming & Training

Live Love Bark pairs dog grooming with behaviour training from Munno Para West, on Adelaide's northern edge, with Melissa running both sides of the work. The grooming feedback leans towards doodle crosses and big coated breeds. A Groodle owner writes about finally finding someone who knows how that coat should be styled and cut, and a Golden Retriever cross had his first professional groom with the owner staying in the room the whole time, being walked through each step and having questions answered as they went.

Patience and plain explanation are the qualities customers name again and again. On the training side, the reviews come from owners of reactive and undersocialised dogs — a Miniature Dachshund who could not be near people or other animals, and a German Shepherd needing structured help around other dogs — and they describe measurable change inside a session, with the reasoning behind the behaviour spelled out rather than glossed over. It suits large, thick-coated dogs, doodle coats that need proper shaping, and dogs who find grooming or other dogs stressful.
