CHRISTIE – PET STYLIST
Hi my name is Christie! I have been working at 4 Paws since October 2007. I've always wanted to work with animals and originally wanted to study equine sciences and become an equine vet until I discovered my love for grooming. My favorite part of the job is making dogs feel good! I love the connection I have made with the dogs and love it when my dogs are excited to get up on the table for me to work on them.
I love herding dogs, specifically Australian cattle dogs, and have one of my own whose name is Turbo. I also have a little girl named Scarlett who shares my passion for dogs and loves coming in for visits at the shop. When I am not at the shop, I am with my fiancé and daughter, walking through Bowness Park at Butterfield Acres, working on DIY projects, or gardening.
SZILVIA – PET STYLIST
Szilvia has had an interest and love for dogs since she was very young. She moved to Calgary from Hungary back in 2015. Before moving, she had many years of experience working with all kinds of canines. She possesses 20 years of work experience training guide dogs for the blind and teaching private behaviour correction and obedience courses for dog owners and their pets. She has also trained defense and search dogs for the police and prison guard force.
Upon her arrival in Canada, she began searching for any opportunity to pursue a career in which she could express her love for mans’ best friend. It didn’t take her long to form a new group of Canadian friends seeking help with their disobedient dogs. She has helped many improve the behavior of their pets, all of whom were more than satisfied with her results.
In her spare time Szilvia enjoys working with her rescue pet, Seamus, on improving his behaviour to grant him a complete rehabilitation. She also likes going on hikes with her favourite furry friend, and her family (not as furry). Szilvia also lives an active life as a regular Ashtanga yoga practitioner.
Szilvia’s precision, reliability, and extraordinary work ethic, along with her light-hearted and joking personality, make her a productive and fun member of the work environment here at Four Paws Grooming.
