The Dog Barber is Brianne Bowman's shop in Sidney. She spent six years grooming as an independent contractor before opening her own place, and the whole point of having her own place is that nobody is rushing her. Your dog is not one of eight dogs stacked up in kennels waiting a turn. Appointments are booked ahead so each dog gets the time the coat actually needs.
Every dog is different, so the honest answer to what does my dog need is usually a short conversation about the breed, the coat and how long it has been. Tell Brianne what you have got and she will tell you straight whether it wants a full groom, a bath and brush out, or just a tidy up and a nail trim. Pricing depends on size, coat and condition, so call or text (937) 818-6716 for a quote on your dog specifically.
The whole service. Bath, blow out, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning and the finish work, cut the way you like it kept. If you are not sure what you want, bring a photo or just describe how long you like it, and Brianne will work from that instead of defaulting to one house style on every dog.
Bath, thorough brush out, blow dry, nails and ears, with no haircut. This is what most short coated and smooth coated dogs actually need, and it is also the right thing to book for a long coated dog in between full grooms to keep the coat ahead of the mats.
Part of every groom and every bath here, not a surprise line item at the counter. Nails get taken back carefully rather than all at once on a dog who is funny about feet. If something in an ear or on the skin does not look right, you will hear about it so your vet can take a look.
For the double coated breeds that blow their undercoat twice a year and redecorate your house doing it. A proper deshedding bath and blow out pulls out an amazing amount of dead coat before it ends up on the couch. Ask for it when you book so there is time set aside for it.
A puppy's first few visits decide how they feel about a grooming table for the rest of their life, so those go slowly and stay positive. Say it is a first groom when you book and the appointment gets built with extra room in it rather than being squeezed between two other dogs.
Older dogs who cannot stand for long, dogs who have had a rough experience somewhere else, dogs who just do not love the dryer. Tell Brianne before the appointment, not after. Knowing up front means the day gets planned around your dog instead of your dog having to keep up with the day.
Brianne Bowman groomed for six years as an independent contractor before she opened The Dog Barber at 835 St. Marys Avenue in late 2025. Going out on her own meant she could set her own pace, take the dogs she knows she can do right by, and keep the shop quiet enough that a nervous dog is not listening to five other dogs while it waits. Nearly eight hundred people follow the shop's page, most of them local, most of them repeat clients.
Texting is often easiest, since Brianne is usually on the table with a dog. Say your dog's breed, roughly what they weigh and when they were last groomed, and you will get a time back.
Full groom, bath and brush out, or a tidy and nails. If you are not sure, describe the coat and how long it has been, and you will get an honest answer instead of an upsell.
Sidney, right on St. Marys Avenue. Appointments are spaced out so your dog is not sitting in a kennel all day waiting for a turn on the table.
You will hear anything worth knowing about the skin, the ears or the coat, and roughly when to come back so the coat stays ahead of the mats. Booking the next one before you leave is the easiest way to stay on schedule.
Brianne Bowman spent six years grooming as an independent contractor in Sidney before opening The Dog Barber at 835 St. Marys Avenue. The Sidney Daily News covered the move in December 2025. The trouble with a move like that is that the rest of the internet does not move with you, so plenty of listings and search results still point people at the old address, and the announcement about the new shop is buried in a Facebook post from months ago. That is a shame, because the shop itself is the good part: one groomer, appointments booked ahead, and enough time set aside for each dog that a nervous one does not have to be rushed. If you are looking for The Dog Barber in Sidney, this is it, 835 St. Marys Avenue, and the number to call or text is (937) 818-6716.
The Dog Barber is appointment only, Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturdays. There are no set walk in hours, so please call or text (937) 818-6716 and Brianne will give you a time that works. If she does not pick up she is on the table with a dog, a text will get answered between appointments.
The shop is at 835 St. Marys Avenue in Sidney, which is the new address as of late 2025. Some older listings still point to the previous location, so come here instead. Easy to reach from Anna, Botkins, Jackson Center, Fort Loramie, Russia and Piqua. Call or text (937) 818-6716.
Tell us your dog's name, breed or rough size, what the coat is like and when they were last groomed. If it is a first groom, or your dog is a senior, or grooming has gone badly for them somewhere before, say that too, it changes how the appointment gets planned. You will get a time back, and a straight answer on what the groom will run.
Pricing depends on your dog's size, coat type and the condition of the coat, so the honest quote comes after a quick description rather than off a chart. Call or text (937) 818-6716 any time.
$49 one time setup, then $79/month, no contract. Hosting, lead capture, traffic tracking, and your own dashboard are all included.
