What Drives Us

Leadership

The People Who Set the Standard

And hold it every day.

  • Eric Yeung — Owner and Head Trainer at PAWS Dog Daycare Calgary

    Eric Yeung

    Owner & Head Trainer

    Eric is a self-taught dog trainer who has been working with dogs since 2010. He applies animal and dog psychology to give owners the tools and methods to genuinely understand and connect with their pets.

    He has studied under training experts including Cesar Millan and Ian Dunbar, and has worked with dogs ranging from basic obedience cases to fearful and reactive dogs requiring full rehabilitation. Learn more about how Eric's methodology shapes every team member.

  • Bridget

    General Manager

    Bridget manages the day-to-day operations at PAWS — keeping the pack running smoothly, the team supported, and our clients informed. Her commitment to the dogs in our care is visible in everything she does.

    A true dog person at heart, Bridget found her own perfect match in Bentley — a rescue pup from AARCS (born February 2019). The two have been inseparable ever since.

The Hands-On Team

The people who walk with, train, and care for your dog every day.

  • Melissa

    Pack Supervisor

    A Veterinary Assistant graduate (St. Lawrence College, 2017) with a passion for dog psychology. Melissa has grown with PAWS professionally and personally — her 13th birthday was spent visiting rescue dogs at the Calgary Humane Society.

  • Sheri Malinis

    Pack Leader

    Sheri discovered PAWS in 2016 while working as a hairstylist in the same building. Her confidence around dogs has grown significantly here — and when she adopted Mortimer, she naturally turned to the PAWS team for support.

  • Rebecca Neal

    Pack Leader

    Rebecca trained at Cultured Canines in 2018 and joined PAWS in 2021. She applies her trainer's eye to every interaction with the pack. Her dogs Arlo and Winry opened her world to dog sports — a passion she brings to work every day.

  • Ali Anderson

    Pack Leader

    Ali's corgi MJ sparked a deep interest in training and dog psychology. After completing the COOL course and training with Cultured Canines, she joined PAWS — and now does what she loves every single day.

  • Kandy Leung

    Pack Leader

    Kandy's lifelong dream was to have a dog of her own — today she has five. Originally from Hong Kong, she joined PAWS to deepen her knowledge of dog behaviour and handling, and has found the team to be welcoming and patient every step of the way.

  • Julia Chtchetinina

    Pack Leader

    Julia got her first dog Nika at thirteen and has been immersed in the dog world ever since. Her second dog Jasper arrived in 2020. She joined PAWS because she found a place that matched her level of dedication — and hasn’t looked back.

Our Groomer

Meet Michelle

Professional Groomer

40+ Years ExperienceSince 1981

With 40+ years of experience, Michelle has dedicated her career to animal care. She started at her parents' kennel as a child, worked her way through several grooming facilities, and landed her dream job at the 9th Ave Animal Clinic in 1981 — where she deepened her knowledge of animal health alongside her grooming craft.

At PAWS, Michelle brings that same level of expertise and attention to every dog she grooms — and her ability to spot health issues early has been an added benefit for many of our clients.
