Storm Kostyk has been grooming for five years, finding her place in the industry with The Pawsh Dog. Initially set to study dog grooming in Toronto at 16, life delayed her plans, but her passion never wavered. She has hands-on training and has completed all practical requirements, now studying for the written part of her certification.
Storm loves transforming dogs from rough shapes to beautiful, happy pets.Storm has worked with most breeds, with a particular fondness for Poodles and Doodles due to their versatility. As a dog trainer, she is adept at reading canine behavior to make them comfortable. She continually learns new techniques and stays updated on the latest products through social media. The most challenging part of her job is dealing with anxious dogs and their owners, emphasizing a calm drop-off and pick-up process.
A memorable moment was when she gave a 2.5-pound dog, who had been attacked by a larger dog, a rockstar haircut, bringing tears of joy to the owner's eyes. Storm handles dogs with a soft touch, giving them time to adjust for a stress-free grooming experience. Outside of grooming, she enjoys flying with her boyfriend, who is a pilot.
