"Our cavoodle has always been anxious at the groomers — would shake the whole time. Since coming to Mountain Hounds she actually wags her tail when we pull up. The one-on-one difference is real."

"My 13-year-old border collie has arthritis and most groomers rush him through. Here they took their time, checked in with me before any step, and he came home looking and smelling amazing."

Everything you need to know

Still wondering? Call us on 0493 737 034 — we're happy to chat.

We're currently booking via our waitlist — fill in the short MoeGo form using the button on this page, and we'll reach out to confirm your time. Alternatively, call us directly on 0493 737 034.
We groom all breeds and sizes — from small terriers and toy breeds up to large dogs like Labradors and Border Collies. We have experience with most coat types including double coats, curly coats, and wire coats. If you're unsure, just give us a call.
A bath and brush typically takes 1–1.5 hours. A full groom is usually 2–3 hours depending on the breed, coat condition, and how relaxed your dog is. Because we go at your dog's pace, we never rush — if they need a break, they get one.
Yes — anxious dogs are actually where the solo studio model shines most. With no other dogs in the building, no cage waiting, and one calm groomer throughout, many anxious dogs do far better here than at a traditional salon. Tell us about your dog's history when you book and we'll plan accordingly.
Absolutely. We offer a dedicated Puppy First Groom designed to be a positive first experience — short, calm, and reward-based. For seniors, we work slowly, take regular breaks, and always keep their comfort as the priority. We'll never put an older or achy dog through a rushed groom.
Our guide prices start from $75 for Bath + Brush and $110 for a Full Groom. The exact price depends on your dog's breed, size, and coat condition — you'll receive a confirmed quote when you book. No surprise charges on the day.
We're based in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, NSW. The exact address is provided when your appointment is confirmed. We welcome clients from across the Mountains — Katoomba, Leura, Wentworth Falls, Blackheath, and surrounds.
