ABOUT US

Headington Hounds (& Tinies) is an ethical and compassionate, boutique grooming studio based in Headington Quarry, Oxford. It is run by a mother and daughter - Fiona and Charlotte - and is situated in the private garden of our home which we share with our family (of dogs!). Tinies was started over 10 years ago to provide a dedicated grooming service for the smaller dog and is now incorporated into Headington Hounds which can cater for dogs of all shapes and sizes.

Consent-based grooming

At Headington Hounds we take a co-operative approach to grooming, viewing the dog as an active partner in the grooming process with their own thoughts and feelings which we will acknowledge and work with. This means that we will always groom to a dog to its tolerance and comfort rather than the guardian’s expectations.


Consent based (or co-operative) grooming is a bit like a dentist telling you that you can raise your hand to indicate you would like them to stop a procedure, if you are uncomfortable  For more on this please take a look at our rehabilitation grooming services.
