Professional Home-Based Dog Grooming in Shawnessy, Calgary with 18 years exp. Fear Free & AB Force Free Certified Hello there!
My name is Robyn, and I am the proud owner of The Classy Canine - Grooming Studio based from my home. I am thrilled to be back in the grooming industry after taking a three-year break to explore a different career in finance. While that experience was valuable, I realized that my true passion lies in working with dogs and providing them with the best possible care. I am excited to announce that I
have opened my own grooming business from the comfort of my home. I am committed to providing the highest quality of care for your furry friends, using only the best grooming techniques and equipment. As I rebuild my clientele, I want to assure you that I am dedicated to providing personalized attention to each pet and their unique needs. I am not just a groomer, but a pet lover who understands the importance of creating a positive grooming experience for dogs and their owners. Please note that I will be taking on a limited number of clients at a time to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Once my clientele is built up, I will stop taking new clients to ensure that I can maintain the same high standards of care. Thank you for considering me as your pet's groomer. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

WALK-IN SERVICES
Need a quick tidy between full grooms? I’ve got you 🐶💗
On open days, I offer walk-in services twice a day for those little maintenance moments that keep your pup looking and feeling their best.
Perfect for in-between grooming, freshening up before an event, or just keeping those paws and faces neat and comfy.
This almost 16 year old handsome boy came in for a low maintenance hair cut to keep him happy and comfortable ✂️✨
At this age it’s all about comfort over style.
Senior grooms are done with extra patience, gentle handling, and lots of love. Making sure they feel safe and relaxed is always my top priority.
Brandy, you are such a sweet soul 🤍

Casper 🤍✨
This sweet boy did SO well for his groom .
He was a little unsure at first, but you could see his confidence grow as we worked through it together. By the end he was standing taller and feeling himself
His coat was definitely a challenge. He had quite a bit of matting and a very woolly undercoat, which takes extra patience and care to safely work through. Keeping up with brushing at home makes such a difference, especially with coats like his.
So proud of you, Casper. Fresh, clean, and feeling good 💫✂️

New Grooming Hours starting November 2025 🐾
Hey friends! I’m making a few schedule changes to make appointments more convenient for you and to give myself a bit more family time. Weekend appointments will no longer be available so I can enjoy weekends with my family.
If you have a prescheduled appointment that conflicts with the new times, don’t worry — I’ll be reaching out soon to adjust your booking.

Robyn is a Certified Canine Stylist and has worked as a Dog Groomer at VCA Shawnessy South Animal Hospital for over 8 years. Robyn has a special connection to dogs, a characteristic that makes her an excellent Dog Groomer.
She was born in South Africa and developed a passion of all wildlife and domestic animals from a young age. She moved to Canada and made Calgary her home 12 years ago.
Robyn has a true passion and artistic “eye” to drive her to be an exceptional and professional Dog Groomer. She has a gently calming nature, often going beyond her clients expectations.
Robyn stays on the cutting edge of grooming trends, products and technology by continual education, courses and networking with other professional groomers worldwide.
Robyn strives to make the grooming experience as stress-free as possible and has mastered the art of handling difficult and nervous dogs with her soothing energy. She is passionate about healthy grooming and shares our philosophy that pet grooming is a vital part in the wellbeing and health of a pet.

She grooms your pet from start to finish, which means their appointment typically lasts 2-4 hrs, depending on which services are being provided. When your pet is ready she will call you and you can pick them up right away.
She comes highly recommended by veterinarians as well. Customers can also feel more comfortable knowing that we are a small salon and take only a limited number of pets per day. Robyn believe's in quality not quantity.
