My name is Darren Granger, a Certified COAPE Animal Behaviourist (C.C.A.B) based in Johannesburg, I offer behaviour consultations and training for dogs both in person or online.
I graduated with my Diploma in Animal Behaviour (DipCABT) from COAPE in 2024, following a lifelong passion of animals I retired from corporate life to focus on GrangePaws and animal behaviour.
