What a lovely surprise when logging on to reply to emails today!! ( especially when I didn't even know we were in the running!)
No matter where we are training or visiting in Australia, from the little towns to the big cities, we are so appreciative of all of our customers, local communities and councils and the support we receive.
We have made many changes over the past 3 years based on client feedback and customer satisfaction and this assures us we are heading in the right direction!
Thank You

Happy International Dog Day!!
Feel free to share a photo of your bestie in the comments đ¶đ„°
This is beautiful Natalia. She is a 2 year old Rottie and full of beans! Natalia was a rescue who unfortunately didn't have the best start to her life, but over the past 12 months she has been working with James (slowly between all the other dogs he is busy training) to help her overcome her anxiety and build confidence in humans. There is no overnight solution to training a dog, but with consistently even if you don't have much time each day - results will show!

Had a great day over the weekend up the Sunshine Coast supporting 4 Paws Animal Rescue Inc at their Santa paws in the park event!! James joined us and gave a âPawsomeâ obedience demo! The owner of the wonderful pooch that was volunteered wasnât confident the dog would do well, but he performed immaculately đ it goes to show - with the right equipment, used the right way, the right message to the dog and the a patient handler - training will be a lot easier!
James is heading back to NSW next week, and we only have Limited availability for both QLD and NSW left in August. For all booking enquires, please send us a message or visit or website - we also have all of the equipment used in this demo available for purchase from our website https://pawsome-puppies.square.site or at any of the markets we attend đŸ happy training đŸ

Today, the face of Pawsome Puppies, Hugo lost a battle he was having in silence with cancer.
Today, James and our whole team didn't just lose a mate, we lost a family member.
While we grieve this immense and unexpected loss, we will be taking some time off. For those who we need to reschedule training for, if we haven't already, we will be in contact and for anyone who gets in contact with us, we will do out best to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding, may our beautiful Hugo Rest in Peace.

We are excited to now be stocking front clip harnesses!!!
These are PERFECT for car travel as the ring for the seatbelt clip is at the chest, so your dog can sit and lay more comfortably!
These are now available on our online store https://pawsome-puppies.square.site/ or you can bring your pooch along to try one on at any of the dog friendly markets we attend!
If you can't see the size you need, let us know as we can order you "in between" sizes to ensure you get a perfect fit
Available in all the same colors as our collars and leads (photos of each colour to come), these are a perfect addition to complete your equipment set!

We are so humbled for our amazing dog behaviourist James to be up the Sunshine Coast walking with 91.9 SEA FM to raise money for Inclusive Kids.
This epic 12 hour walk is aimed at putting shoes on the feet of vulnerable children who, by no fault of their own are missing out on the basics.
Shoes may seem like something insignificant to the average person, but for a child living on or below the poverty line, or missing out for various other reasons, it can mean the difference between fitting in or not, being bullied or not and staying in school or not!!!
You can help too!!!
$25 puts a pair of shoes on a child's feet - but EVERY CENT COUNTS!!! You can donate any amount, anytime via the inclusive kids website, you can tune in from 6am 18/11/22 and donate by calling (07) 54511919 or if you are a Sunshine Coast local, you can come along to the walk anytime from 6am to 6pm and tap to donate!!!
James will be walking and having a chat with Ellie and Becks from 4pm - 5pm (QLD time) - so be sure to tune in!!!
Flat rate Australia wide shipping is $9.90 on all orders.
Card, direct deposit and AfterPay available!

Some of the common issues we deal with are:
- Barking
- Separation anxiety
- Aggressive behaviour
- Jumping up on people
- Pulling on lead
- Biting
- Marking (or toileting inside)
- Patrolling fences and doorways
- Hyperactive behaviour
- Digging
- Bringing a puppy home
- Destructive behaviour
- Chasing cats, birds and other animals
And so much more!
There is a difference between obedience training and behavioural training.
Your dogâs BEHAVIOUR wonât change with a trainer who only focuses on the physical symptoms, because to change a dogs behaviour, means changing the dogs mind.
Training that doesn't use the dogs psychology to deal with the cause of the problems, may mean you are wasting hard earned money on a temporary solution that reverts back in time, possibly worse.
At Pawsome Puppies, our behavioural trainer has 8 years hands on training experience working with dog psychology to eradicate unwanted bahviours, we cater for every dog from puppy to adult and we can help with pound dog rehabilitation!
Some of the common issues we deal with are:

We love it when our clients send us through progress videos of their dogs learning and improving!
This little one has gone from not listening and running away to perfect recall in less than 2 weeks thanks to the hard work and dedication from the owner!
The dogs we see are taught important obedience drills such as recall etc, however this is just the icing on the cake for most sessions as in the background there is a whole lot of behavioural work going on and the dogs are working with the owners to change their mindset and underlying causes of the problem in order to get these results!
We can help you with all your dogs behavioural problems too! Check out our website for more information or feel free to send us a message to see how we can help you... www.pawsomepuppies.com.au
Pawsome Puppies were able to give local Sunny Coast callers an idea of what may be going on for their dogs this morning thanks to the awesome team at 91.9 SEA FM
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out anytime and we can give you some advice on what could be happening with your dog and the best plan to rectify the situation.
Loose lead walking like a pro!
Great work Louie â€

The Pawsome Puppies Story
Back in 2013, James (Founder/Dog Behaviourist) had the pleasure of welcoming a 6 month old rescue dog, Hugo, into his life. Hugo started displaying a multitude of behavioural problems causing stress to both Hugo, and James. After trying to get a solution through several different trainers, with no success, James was on the verge of giving up hope when he came across a dog behaviourist who was able to accurately assess the cause of Hugoâs problems and crate a plan that paved the way for James to work with Hugo to correct his behaviour and become the best version of himself that he could be.
This experience inspired James to undertake his own dog training qualifications, so that he could help other people who may be experiencing the same desperation for help with their dog, which he had felt with Hugo. In 2014 James completed his degree in dog psychology and dog neurology, studying with some of the dog training leaders of the world. James is certified in Australia and around the world with dog trainers federations, and continues to expand his knowledge and skills through constant hands on training.
In 2019, James met Alicia who also shared his love for animals, especially dogs. She watched James as he trained and cared for not only Hugo, but foster dogs that were in his care. Alicia had also been struggling with her dog, who suffered severe separation anxiety and she had hired several trainers to try and help, but found the problem was getting worse. Through Jamesâ guidance, Alicia has learnt why her dog reacted this way and why what she was told would help, was triggering more unwanted behaviours.
In June 2020, James relocated up to Queensland with Alicia where they joined forces to expand Pawsome Puppies services. Now, Pawsome Puppies is operating 7 days a week across the Sunshne Coast, Bribie Island, Moreton Bay region and out to Somerset Dam. James and Alicia work together to provide a wide range of services and training and will always share an endless passion for animals that reflects through their work.
âWe will always work with the desire to create a better world for a dog, and to love and care for all animals. Our passion for dog training is endless and we look forward to helping you train your puppy and/or dogâ.
