What a Groomer!
Lianne was able to do things with my Rottweiler that other groomers were not able to achieve. He had a well balanced visit and slept all the way home. She offered suggestions and was such a polite and kind lady. I would definitely recommend her for your dog.

Took Stanley to Lianne again and he’s now getting used to being washed and dried, thanks to the patience and kindness shown by Lianne. More than satisfied again
Amazing work!
When dropping off my dog Lianne really listened to my requests and had some great professional thoughts for the best treatment for my dog. When I picked him up he was still so happy and he smelt and looked great.
Lianne did a great job and I will definitely be coming back
I don't know how she does it!!
Lianne has been grooming our 11 month old double doodle puppy since she was 3 months old and is always fantastic. Not only does Coco come back looking, smelling and feeling incredible but Lianne has been such a great help in navigating grooming with our first dog giving us all the upkeep tips for at home so we can all get it right. The early desensitisation sessions were incredible for helping to train Coco around grooming and be more comfortable with it. We wouldn't go to anyone else.
Olly had his first haircut with…
Olly had his first proper haircut with Lianne and she was so patient and caring with him and made sure he had a nice experience. Can’t recommend her enough and Olly loves her which is a bonus
Patient and skilled
Lianne worked with my sometimes difficult GSD and manged to complete the groom having gained his trust with no muzzle! Along with smelling and looking brilliant and was nice and relaxed on pick up!
Superb with nervous dogs
We have two rescue dogs, both of whom can be quite nervous in new situations. We took them both for introductory sessions. Both dogs were instant happy and comfortable with Leanne. They have had more sessions from nail clipping to grooming, and will be going back regularly. I have no hesitation in recommending Leanne.
Happy go Lucky !
How Lucky was made to feel so relaxed and confident . Third visit and Leanne is just brilliant !
AMAZING !!!! Leanne has been 10/10
Leanne has been 10/10
Our Cockapoo Puppy Dolcie always goes in settled and calm and comes out very chilled and smelling amazing she always does a better job than we think with our dog .
Very knowledgeable not just in grooming but about breeds!
Would highly Recommend Southend Dog Grooming - & Leanne To Anyone who is looking for the Best Possible Dog Groom! Thanks Again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Super groomer!
Leanne has given my Pomeranian a fantastic grooming experience from a young age. She’s kind and patient and clearly loves all of the dogs. My little Pom comes home happy and smelling absolutely beautiful.
Highly recommend Lianne!
Lianne was amazing with my 2 year old rescue (german shepherd cross) who was never introduced to grooming. We had a desensitising session yesterday which went really well. I’ve been looking for a groomer for nearly a year and I’m so happy to have finally found one that I can trust! Thank you Lianne!
A Grooming great experience!
Lianne is fantastic My dog can be a handful but Lianne is patient and professional My dog always comes out well groomed and smelling divine
5 star service
Lianne made me feel comfortable straight away and gave me a text 10 mins in to reassure me Hendricks was behaving. I pick him up smelling lovely and happy. I also got a follow up call about some things she noticed and advice about keeping and eye on his paw.
The best place for nervous dogs!
I brought my American Staffie down to see Lianne while I had some training with my other dog. Draco is very nervous of strangers but having brought my other dog to Lianne before I knew she was going to be the perfect person to give him his first groom. He came out with a full swagger and smelling gorgeous! She's got a wonderful way with nervous dogs and I can't recommend her enough!
Brilliant experience for both me and my nervous Staffie!
Took my energetic Staffie to Lianne because he was terrified of having his nails clipped since an old injury. Within 10 minutes of him being there, Lianne let me know she’d already successfully clipped his nails and reassured me all was fine to continue with the full groom which really put my mind at ease. After the groom he came out smelling wonderful and clearly enjoyed his time there, no anxiety at all! As a bonus she sent me some cute photos! Cannot recommend enough
Lexy’s second visit to her favourite groom
This was Lexy’s second visit to Lianne. She loves the experience and Lianne loves Lexy. She came out looking and smelling gorgeous with beautifully trimmed claws, and ready for our training session with Adam.
Well worth the trip from Kent.
German Shepherd
Leanne works so hard with my German Shepherd that hates his nails being clipped. I love that she works with him to make him less anxious and each time I take him he's still pleased to see her.
Patience of a saint
I cannot speak highly enough of Lianne. She specialises in dogs that are nervous about be groomed. My Jasper is a gentle soul until it comes to being groomed Lianne has found a technique that suits her and Jasper and I still can’t believe he lets her hold his paws. Thank you so much for being patient with him and please don’t ever leave us 😉😘😘
Lianne is amazing
Lianne is amazing!
It was my boys 2nd time in seeing her & she went above & beyond in making him look beautiful!
He smells sooo good!! She really does care about what she does & it shows…
Thank you again Lianne! 💚
Highly recommend
Lianne is fantastic at what she does and her customer service is brilliant.
We took our nervous rescue boy and our excitable newfy for full grooms and they both look, smell and feel fantastic.
We never imagined our rescue boy would be able to have a full groom due to his fear of people but Lianne got it done with no issues.
We’ve come away with two very happy pups.
We will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend using her services 💕
