About Paws & Praise

Paws&Praise Before and after

Real People. Real Results

- What prompted you to seek training with Paws and Praise?


I wanted to work with Paws and Praise because I’ve heard great things about their positive, reward-based approach. My dog Molly has been struggling with leash reactivity, recall and her confidence


- How was your experience working with us?


My experience with Paws and Praise was exceptional, as much as my dog was being trained I was too, it’s a balance for us both do carry on and get the best results for Molly.


- What positive changes have you noticed in your dog's behaviour?


Molly is a reactive dog but with training we’ve been able to distract her and make her as comfortable as possible in scenarios where she is more reactive.


- How has the training impacted you and your dog?

Molly is a much happier and calmer dog, she’s a kelpie so training her has helped bring the best in behaviour.


- Would you recommend Paws and Praise to others? Why?

I already have! Mel is very approachable and has so much knowledge on all breeds of dogs which makes me comfortable knowing she’s educated herself to be at the top of her industry.
