This week’s holiday gift recommendation

The Christmas jumper 😛

Just today I received an invitation to a Christmas-themed get-together. “Christmas attire required” .. until this year, this would be enough for me to not show up.

What on earth would I wear?

I’ve never had anything “Christmassy” that’s not so over the top that I wouldn’t feel like wearing it.

Until .. I couldn’t help myself and designed one I’m excited to show off at Christmas parties ..

And don’t forget to make 2025 a “year of the dog”: 🤣🤣

Who can argue with “Every Dog Is a Therapy Dog” ..

FREE worldwide shipping.
25% of profits go to a Pawsome charity.

And yes, 25% of the profits will be donated to a Pawsome human or non-profit (details to be announced).

Soul Touched by Dogs LIVE Masterclass

Join us for

"Does Your Dog Suffer From Trauma? Discover Often Overlooked Signs" with Annie Phenix

12th December, 6pm Europe (5pm UK, 12pm ET, 9am PT)

(HERE is what time that is for you)

Trainer and Bestselling Author Annie Phenix knew a lot about dogs when she took in her two Heeler-Border Collie brothers Finn and Cooper.

They were taken from their mother at 5 weeks of age and thrown into a backyard with no supervision or enrichment. They came to her with several types of worms and fear in their eyes and little bodies.

Finn and Cooper were a LOT of work for Annie and her husband. But they were happy to put the time into showing them they were safe. Eventually (it took 7 months) they believed them and now they are thriving.

It's what inspired Annie to focus on what comes BEFORE training.

This masterclass is for you if your dog is struggling in certain situations and you're not quite sure what else to do, maybe you (not quite) jokingly call him "stubborn" ..

Annie will share how you can recognize if your dog suffers from trauma and what you can do to start helping him heal.

This week’s Pawsome Human: Tessa Savelkoel - PuzzleDog: Brain Games for Dogs

In this delightful conversation with Tessa, based in Nova Scotia, Canada, we explore her innovative business, Puzzle Dog.

Tessa shares her journey from the Netherlands to Norway, and finally settling in Canada, where she started incorporating the Dutch method 'Herschenwerk' into canine mental stimulation.

We dive into the benefits of mental enrichment for dogs, the differences between Herschenwerk and Ace Freework, and how to set up puzzle sessions for various needs, from adolescents to senior dogs. Tessa also highlights the importance of bonding and communication with our pets.

For anyone interested in enhancing their dog's life through mental puzzles, Tessa's insights are invaluable. Tune in to learn more about creating a more fulfilling and engaging experience for your furry friends!
