Paws & Praise Dog Training

Owned and operated by Savannah James, CPDT-KA and AKC CGC Evaluator, with 10 years of experience training dogs.

Specialty: leash reactivity

Savannah specialises in leash reactivity — a behaviour she notes shows up often in Belgian Malinois and isn't what most pet homes are looking for. Alongside reactivity work, Paws & Praise offers puppy training and board & train programs.

Experience with the breed

Savannah has rescued two Belgian Malinois herself and describes the breed as intense, driven and genuinely fun to work with when given the outlets they need. She's also competed in Mondioring with one of her own dogs — direct, hands-on experience with the breed at both the pet and sport level.
