With over a decade of experience, dog trainer Jaz from Paws and Praise is on a mission to bring out the best in your four-legged friend. Whether you’re starting out with a new puppy or tackling trickier behaviour challenges, she offers support that works for both dog and owner.
Tailored training with a personal touch
Jaz is the founder of Paws and Praise Positive Dog Training and Behaviour. She works alongside her Belgian Malinois, Thor, who keeps her on her toes both at home and out in the field.
With a Diploma in Canine Psychology and a Foundation Degree in Canine Behaviour Training (accredited through Hull University) from Bishop Burton College, Jaz brings an experienced and compassionate approach to dog training that is grounded in positive reinforcement and science-led methods.
She works across the whole Staffordshire area, travelling to clients for one-to-one sessions and offering friendly group classes from a local venue. Her focus is on helping owners build a positive and lasting relationship with their dogs.

Training and behaviour services include
- One-to-one life skills sessions. Ideal for young puppies before vaccinations or dogs of any age needing help with manners, recall, or loose-lead walking.
- One-to-one behaviour sessions. Tailored support for more complex issues such as reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding or excessive barking.
- Puppy classes. For fully vaccinated puppies up to 6 months, offering early socialisation and obedience skills in a relaxed group setting.
- Intermediate classes. For dogs aged 7 months and older. These sessions help build on existing skills and strengthen your bond.
Jaz welcomes all breeds and backgrounds and is particularly passionate about supporting dogs with reactivity or anxiety. Her calm, friendly style and flexible approach have earned her a great reputation locally among dog owners looking for long-term support.
Building a local training community
Paws and Praise is more than just training. It is about helping people feel confident and connected with their dogs. Jaz offers honest advice, practical support and a clear training plan tailored to each individual dog.
“Whether you’re starting fresh with a new puppy, working on specific behaviour concerns, or simply looking to deepen your relationship with your dog, I’d love to help.”
