The friend is praising the dog.
Amicus canum est laudat.
Should est be in there and if so, is it in the right spot?

Amicus canem laudat.
Note - Canis is canEm, not canum in the accusative.

Absolutely no "est". "Laudat" means both "praises" and "is praising", as Latin does not distinguish these two kinds of present tenses. And it is in fact "canem", not "canum".

No No No - No 'est'.
In Latin the present tense means, using laudat as an example:
He praises
He is praising
He does praise.
There is no 'est' used for this. context must tell you which is meant.

Amicus ( subject) canem ( object) laudat (verb).
