About The Barking Lot
The Barking Lot is a dog grooming salon at Graceville in Brisbane's western suburbs, with Jenny and Jade both named by clients. The jobs reviewers describe skew towards work other salons find slow: two long-haired german shepherds six months overdue for a proper groom, a west highland terrier being tidied up after a home clip, and a cocker spaniel who hates the dryer and having her feet done. Owners note the shepherds were finished in about an hour and came out looking sharp.
Two things come up repeatedly in feedback. The first is handling — the cocker spaniel was given extra time and breaks partway through rather than being pushed on. The second is communication, with a text to confirm the booking and another when the dog is ready to collect, which several owners single out as unusually organised. It suits big double-coated breeds and dogs that find parts of grooming stressful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do they groom large double-coated breeds?
Yes. One family brings two long-haired german shepherds regularly and describes a badly overdue groom on both being finished in around an hour, with the dogs looking noticeably better afterwards.
What if my dog dislikes the dryer or having its feet clipped?
A cocker spaniel owner describes exactly that, and says the groomer allowed extra time and a break partway through rather than rushing the dog to finish.
How will I know when my dog is ready?
Owners mention a text confirming the appointment and a second text when the dog is ready for pick-up, which several reviewers call out as a strong point.
Can they tidy up a home haircut?
One owner brought a west highland terrier in after a do-it-yourself clip and describes it coming out neatly finished and calm.
