About Performing Paws

Performing Paws is a training and boarding business on a private four-and-a-half acre property on the Dawsonville and North Forsyth line. The site describes it as completely private and open strictly by appointment, on the reasoning that a quiet, distraction-free setting is a lower-stress place for dogs to learn.

The trainer

The owner is named on the site as Anna Schwartzenberger. Her account of her own route in is specific: in 2015 she took on her first Belgian Malinois, Ranger, and the two of them went into IGP and French Ring sport, which is where she built her background in advanced obedience and personal protection, working alongside a range of handlers and trainers along the way.

What is offered

Board and train is the headline program, with boarding described as personalized and sold alongside the training. Services and pricing are published on their own page, and there is a Meet the Trainer page rather than an anonymous About. Bookings and questions go through Anna directly by text or email.

Catchment

The site names Dawsonville, Dahlonega, Gainesville, Alpharetta and Jasper as the areas it serves.
