About The Academy

A family salon where every dog is a top scholar.

Doggy Academy is Donna's family-run dog-grooming salon on Hall Lane, Armley. After 15+ years behind the grooming table, she opened the Academy in 2022 — and her son Devvan joined in January 2025, making it a proper family affair.

The name is playful — but the approach is serious. Every dog gets calm, one-at-a-time attention. Every coat is washed with organic oat-based products. Every cut is tailored to your breed and your dog's temperament. That's how 138 five-star reports get written.

"Donna is genuinely amazing with my anxious little rescue. Fifteen years of experience really shows — she was calm, unhurried, and my dog walked out looking like she'd graduated top of her class. Will never go anywhere else."

"Booked the Spa + Sparkle deep clean for Bobby and honestly, he came out softer than a cloud. Love that they use organic oat-based products — his skin has never been better. Worth every penny."

"Our doodle got badly matted over winter and we were worried about having to shave her down. Donna took the time to explain exactly what was possible and was so patient with the de-matting. Honest, gentle, brilliant."

"Took our puppy Milo for his first groom and Donna was so sweet with him. She took her time, made him feel comfortable and he trotted out looking adorable. The whole Doggy Academy vibe is just so warm and friendly."

"Family-run, local and genuinely lovely. Devvan and Donna both know their stuff and you can tell they really care. My Schnauzer gets the perfect breed cut every time and I wouldn't trust anyone else. 10/10 Academy."

Frequently asked

The Academy prospectus.

No — the "Academy" is just our name and our philosophy. We're a full-service professional dog groomers. Every dog gets treated like a top scholar: calm one-at-a-time attention, organic products, breed-specific cuts. Training classes aren't part of the curriculum (yet).

Call or text 07933 633078, fill in the enrol form below, or DM us on Instagram @doggyacademy. We're open Mon–Fri 8am–4pm, Sat 9am–1pm, closed Sunday.

We lead with organic oat-based shampoos and conditioners as standard — they're gentle, naturally soothing and perfect for sensitive or itchy skin. If your dog has a specific skin condition or you'd prefer something medicated/bring-your-own, just tell us at booking and we'll work around it.

We start with a quick hello so your dog can settle, chat through the cut you're after, and then work at your dog's pace. Puppies get a shorter "orientation" session — bath, brush, introduction to the dryer, a tiny tidy — so they associate grooming with calm and praise from the start.

Coat-first, always. If matting is mild we'll work through it gently. If it's tight to the skin, we'll talk honestly — it's kinder to shave down and grow fresh than to cause your dog distress. No judgement, just a plan that's best for your dog's welfare.

Not quite — doggy daycare is on the syllabus for a future term. If you'd like to be on the early-access list, mention "daycare waitlist" on the enrol form and we'll get in touch the moment term starts.
