🌱 OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe grooming and training should support a pet’s emotional wellbeing, not just their appearance.

That means:

• Gentle handling and enrichment-based techniques

• Listening to what pets communicate through body language and behavior

• Adapting each experience to the individual pet — not forcing a one-size-fits-all approach

• Prioritizing long-term comfort, trust, and positive associations

We proudly work with puppies, seniors, sensitive pets, and those who may have been turned away elsewhere — helping them build confidence at their own pace.

🐶 MORE THAN A SALON

Pawsh Paws is more than a grooming space — it’s a place for education, collaboration, and growth.

In addition to professional grooming, we offer:

• Confidence-building training and coaching

• Grooming desensitization programs

• Support for pet parents who want to better understand their dog’s needs

• A calm, welcoming environment designed with both pets and people in mind

As we grow, we plan to continue expanding our services, supporting continuing education for our team, and building a reputation as a high-quality, welcoming, and trustworthy grooming and training salon in our community.

🐾 MEET THE TEAM

Trang

Trang brings artistry, intention, and calm to every groom. She has an eye for detail and a talent for making both pets and spaces feel comfortable and cared for. Her approach is patient, observant, and quietly confident — never forcing, always adapting.

Outside the salon, Trang is a self-described couch potato with opinions. She loves gardening, reading, good food, and spending time with her two cats:

• Maomao, a dignified gentleman with strong cat boundaries

• Mochi, a playful little gremlin who believes personal space is optional

🐶 Marisa

Professional Dog Trainer | AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator

Marisa brings enthusiasm, encouragement, and a whole lot of heart to training. With four years of professional experience — including raising and training service dogs — she specializes in confidence-building, cooperative care, and positive reinforcement training.

Her sessions are upbeat, engaging, and designed to help dogs and humans feel successful. Whether she’s working with puppies, coaching everyday manners, or guiding dogs through grooming desensitization, Marisa believes learning should feel fun and achievable.

At home, she’s outnumbered (in the best way) by:

• Big Papa — a lover boy with opinions and a signature “pat-a-cake” trick

• Archie — a high-energy explorer training as a service dog

• Scout (aka Phat Babee) — the sweetest cuddle bug and service dog in training

Fun facts:
🎬 Loves dad jokes and Austin Powers movies
🪡 Enjoys embroidery and crafting with her Cricut
🐕 Big fan of FastCAT events and dog sports

💛 Becka

Groomer

Becka’s love for animals is at the center of everything she does — especially her dog, Hiccup, who is very much the main character in her life. From long walks and ball sessions to meeting new people and dog friends, Hiccup is her constant sidekick and biggest inspiration.

As a groomer, Becka brings empathy, patience, and genuine care into every interaction. She believes grooming should be a positive, enriching experience — one rooted in honesty, integrity, and joy. She’s especially passionate about creating a space where pets feel safe being themselves and where pet parents feel truly supported.

At home, Becka is kept endlessly entertained by her crew:

• Hiccup — a happy, social boy who loves walks, people, and playing ball with Dad or Uncle

• Morrigan — a curious little thief with a love for valuables (especially money — wallets beware)

• Banshee — loud, opinionated, and not shy about demanding attention (holding optional)

• Pippin — a shy observer who prefers quiet moments and will only approach if you remain perfectly statue-still

Fun facts:
🐾 Big dog mom energy
🧩 Loves puzzles and learning new things
😂 Laughing is basically a personality trait
🍽️ Savory over sweet — always
💛 Favorite sign-off (and life motto): “Have fun!”
