Meet the Groomer
Hello! I'm Abi and I am the owner of Tally-ho Dog grooming, now working with Shane and Suzie at Almost Home Pet Resort! I am a British dog groomer and trainer, originally living in Cambridge, UK before meeting my husband and moving to South Dakota in 2023.
I qualified as a groomer in 2017 and have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs, from simple baths to breed standard show cuts. I offer a one to one grooming experience, giving your dog the very best care. I always aim to make the groom a positive environment that they enjoy coming back to!

Please be aware Tally-ho Dog Grooming has a non-shave policy for all double coated breeds. This is due to a number of reasons, the most common are listed below:
It does not make them cooler. Shaving a double coated dog only hinders their ability to regulate their temperature. Instead, they require a thorough de-shedding of the fluffy undercoat.
It does not make your dog ‘shed less.’ Double coated breeds blow their undercoat twice a year and shed year-round due to their normal fur growth cycle. Shaving or clipping may appear to help minimize shedding, but they will still be shedding the same amount, only the hairs will be shorter so you may notice them less.
Your dog will become more vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer. A dog’s natural double coat helps to cover and protect their skin from the sun. Shaving or clipping them will expose their sensitive skin to the sun’s rays. Clipping can also disrupt the natural shedding cycle, and they may start shedding more constantly, year-round.
Your dog’s hair will not grow back the same. Cutting the fur damages the natural cycle of a double coat. Your dog’s topcoat can take a long time to grow back completely or it may not grow back as before. Depending on your dog, their fur can grow back patchy, thinner and they can develop skin conditions such as alopecia.
