About Walk&Knock Dog Grooming
Walk & Knock Dog Grooming is a private, one-on-one dog grooming salon on Old Cleveland Road in Carina, in Brisbane's eastern suburbs. It works in the Korean grooming style and runs on a Fear-Free certified system, meaning each session is built around reading a dog's body language and earning its trust rather than rushing through a checklist.
The salon takes a limited number of bookings each day so the space stays calm, with separated areas for more sensitive dogs. Every appointment moves at the dog's own pace, with breaks as needed, and includes a check-in assessment, a warm bath, brushing, nail clipping and ear cleaning. The grooming itself is recorded and shared with owners, alongside a feedback report that notes the dog's temperament and stress levels through the visit. That focus on transparency and gentle handling makes it well suited to anxious dogs, dogs prone to matting, and those who have found grooming stressful in the past.
For dogs carrying grooming trauma or reactivity, the salon also runs a positive-reinforcement behaviour modification program led by a certified trainer-groomer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fear-Free grooming?
Fear Free is a global organisation founded by Dr. Marty Becker, dedicated to preventing and reducing fear, anxiety and stress in pets during their care. The salon uses a gentle approach that reads a dog's body language, allows breaks, and builds trust through calm handling.
What happens if my dog is matted?
For heavily matted coats the salon recommends clipping short rather than detangling, as forceful brushing can cause pain and create negative grooming associations. They suggest regular maintenance, such as a bath and brush every two weeks, to prevent matting.
How long does a grooming session take?
Sessions typically last 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on coat condition and behaviour. First-time visits allow extra time for the dog to explore and adjust.
Can I stay with my dog during grooming?
For senior dogs aged 10 and over, or dogs with separation anxiety, owners may wait nearby. The salon notes that visibility can sometimes increase anxiety, so they may recommend waiting in reception instead.
What if my dog is nervous or reactive?
The salon offers tailored sessions with shortened times, breaks and calming techniques. For dogs with grooming trauma or aggression, they provide a positive-reinforcement behaviour modification program led by a certified trainer-groomer.
