Helen's Home

Helen's Home I am a proud dog mum, offering walks and trust based grooming in a home setting Hi and welcome to Helen's Home. More than just Dog Walking ..

I'm Helen and dedicated dog mum to Oatis, Nerys, Marley and Faye, who are my absolute world. My aim in life is to give them, and as many other dogs as possible, the best life they can have which is how Helen's Home came to be. Along with my sister, Aunty Debbie and Aunty Jen and Aunty Skye, who are all very special 'crazy' dog ladies, we offer the following services to help your dogs live their be

st lives. Grooming

We offer trust based grooming for small/medium breeds in a home setting - I had been grooming for five years after my own dog Oatis had a negative experience at a grooming salon which left him terrified of being touched. He would only let me handle him due to the bond we had so I taught myself how to groom using trust based techniques, with the intent of being able to maintain him myself and accidently fell into grooming professionally instead when discovering how many dogs struggled to cope in a salon setting. At Helen's Home , we are groomers who have a particular passion for helping nervous dogs or those who have had a bad experience and work hard to ensure dogs have the kindest, most positive experience they can have during the grooming experience. How the dog feels is more important to us than how the dog looks and we firmly believe in humanity before vanity. We offer puppy introduction packages to ensure the best possible start to a lifetime of grooming (particularly important for double coated breeds). We also offer desensitisation programmes for dogs who are fearful of grooming. We offer what we consider to be the ultimate dog walking service in the form of our Dog's Day Out - the kind of outing our own dogs love. We collect dogs from their homes (in and around the Gorseinon area) and take them to Wagswood in Pontardawe, our very own piece of Welsh countryside that we have exclusive use of, creating a safe haven for our dogs to be dogs! They take part in social play sessions in the paddock, pack walks exploring the woods, scent games in the meadow and time to sniff, run, roll, paddle, chase, get mucky and do all things dogs love to do in the great outdoors. This service is aimed at active, friendly dogs who are well socialised - all dogs are assessed for their suitability to what we offer to ensure they will fit in and that all the dogs will enjoy their experience with us. Coaching/Q&A Sessions with Helen

For first time puppy owners wanting some help/guidance/reassurance, I offer 1:1 sessions where you can book some time with me (via call, zoom or in person) to help with any issues you might be having. I am keen to share my knowledge and experience of being a multiple dog owner (and the mistakes we all make!) and 7 years of working with dogs professionally in both training and care settings, in any way I can to help dogs and their owners have an easier, happier life �

Structured Socialisation Sessions

With my own dogs kindly giving their assistance (and being paid generously in treats for their time), I can offer structured socialisation experiences for puppies and dogs needing time around other dogs to build confidence or social skills. Wagswood Members Club

Our customers are welcomed to join our dog club where members will be able to hire the paddock at Wagswood to train or exercise their own dogs. We also hold Socialisation Sessions and organise other dog related events throughout the year.

UPDATE - thank you all so much for messages about Bingo, sorry I havent been able to reply to everyone, we were inundated! But very happy to say that he has now found a new family and is settling in well x

This is Bingo, a gorgeous boy who I groom. His family have had to make the very sad but best decision for him and look for a home that best suits his needs. If you think you might have room for another and be the right family for him, please send me a message and I'll pass on your details. Message from Mum below...

I am absolutely heartbroken to be writing this, but I am looking to rehome my beautiful boy, Bingo 💔

Bingo is 1 and a half years old and truly the sweetest dog you could ever meet. He’s such a softie and honestly thinks he’s a lap dog — all he ever wants is cuddles and to be close to you. He’s great with new people, fully house trained, and has good recall, so he can go off lead in open spaces like parks and fields (especially if you have treats!).

This decision has not been made lightly. I have two young children with autism, and unfortunately the noise and unpredictability are becoming very overwhelming for Bingo. It’s also increasing anxiety for my children, and I’ve had to keep them separated, which isn’t fair on any of them.

Bingo deserves a calm, loving home where he can feel safe, relaxed, and get all the affection he craves. He is fine around other dogs and children and has never shown any aggression, but he would really benefit from a quieter environment.

This is incredibly difficult for me, so I am only looking for the very best home for him. Please message if you feel you could offer Bingo the life he deserves.

Thank you 🤍
