WELCOME TO THE DIRTY DOGS CLUB
NEW DOG GROOMING
STUDIO SERVING THE HIGHLANDS...
MARKET STREET, TAIN
The Dirty Dogs Club is a brand new, dog grooming studio based in Tain and serving dogs across the Scottish Highlands. We cater to all dogs, breeds and temperaments, with space for big dogs, floor-based grooming and clam over chaos. Working within a purpose-built, welfare-led studio that follows legal, legislative and liability standards. Fully insured by PBI Limited and led by the 'safety first' approach.
We are opening in April 2026 and are now taking bookings for second round of appointments.
Founding Member sessions are now full, and we have opened our diary for the summer. These spots are based on our introductory pricing and reflect longer, 1:1 grooming sessions and safe handling.
Whether your dog needs a bath, brush, tidy-up or a full groom, Dirty Dogs provides calm, safe and regulated grooming services in a modern, purpose-built space designed specifically for dogs.

TRAINING & STARTING OUT
HOW WE GROOM & WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...
At The Dirty Dogs Club, we want to get it right. We want all dogs (and owners) to feel content, comfortable and calm when they leave our studio. Our goal is to train to the highest standard we can, whilst gaining practical, hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes and temperaments. We are building a space where all dogs are welcome, but always managed and carefully handled while they are with us.
We are currently undergoing a practical, hands-on City & Guilds Level 2 Dog Grooming qualification and we have already seen a number of dogs for grooming, bathing and general maintenance.
The dogs we see during our opening stage will form part of our second round of hands-on training.
Experienced in handling large and reactive dogs, we aim to get to know every one of our members (the dogs) properly. We want to know their likes, dislikes, fears, fumbles, sore spots and stiff bits. Our goal is to know and treat every dog as if it was our own, ensuring genuine connection with each dog we see.
As we are still in training, we ask for understanding that not everything will be perfect yet - but your dog’s welfare, comfort and safety will always come first, and that standard will never be compromised.
