🌱 OUR PHILOSOPHY

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

For us, that means practicing gentle handling and enrichment-based techniques. It means listening closely to what pets communicate through their body language and behavior. It means adapting each experience to the individual pet instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Most importantly, it means prioritizing long-term comfort, trust, and positive associations over quick results.

We welcome every pet, whether they need extra reassurance or simply enjoy their time at the salon, meeting each one where they are and supporting their continued comfort and confidence.

🐶 MORE THAN A SALON

Pawsh Paws is more than a grooming salon. It’s a space for education, collaboration, and growth.

Alongside professional grooming, we offer confidence-building training and coaching, grooming desensitization programs, and guidance for pet parents who want to better understand their dog’s needs. Everything we do is rooted in creating a calm, welcoming environment designed thoughtfully for both pets and people.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to expanding our services, investing in ongoing education for our team, and building a reputation as a high-quality, welcoming, and trusted grooming and training salon in our community.

🐾 MEET THE TEAM

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

🐈 Known to flop her face into cat bellies

Alex

Pet Stylist | Social Media & Creative Support

Alex brings creativity, warmth, and a genuine love for animals to everything they do at Pawsh Paws. As a pet stylist, they take pride in making pets feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Whether it’s a gentle bath, a stylish trim, or a calm introduction to the grooming space.

They also support the salon’s social media, capturing joyful moments, transformations, and behind-the-scenes fun that show off the heart of Pawsh Paws. Their eye for photography and art lets them highlight each pet’s unique personality in beautiful, candid photos.

At home, they’re surrounded by furry family:

• Thor — A thunder-voiced protector with a perfected Pyrenees side-eye, but truly just a giant lovable goofball.

• Bodie — Pure golden retriever energy who believes everyone is a friend and life should always be fun.

• Loki — The smallest and most mischievous of the pack, a cross-country road trip veteran who listens better than his big brothers ever will.

• Otter — Agile, clever, and always collaborating with the dogs to “accidentally” push things off the counter for them.

🐶 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

💛 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
