Our story.

My name is April, and this is my red Australian Cattle Dog Winnie.

Welcome to APAWLO Pets

I’m April — a dog trainer from the bush who grew up around livestock and working dogs. These days I’m based in Brisbane, constantly pursuing self-education to understand dogs on a deeper level. From behaviour science to training methodologies to dog sports, there’s always another course, workshop, or book on the go.

Then there’s my girl Winnie. High-drive. Loyal. Intelligent. The kind of dog who thrives with purpose, structure, and adventure. She’s my teammate, my training partner, and the inspiration behind every product we create.

Moving from the farm into a suburban lifestyle came with challenges — especially when raising a working breed in the city. But it also revealed a huge gap: dog owners needed better tools, better education, and better ways to meet their dogs' needs.

Our Goal

To ensure every dog has the opportunity to live an active and enriched life, & unleash their extraordinary potential.

What makes our products unique?

Our Aussie-designed products are focused on fostering an unbreakable relationship between you & your dog.

Why APAWLO Pets?

We are passionate about giving back to the pet community. With every purchase, you join us in our mission to make a difference in the lives of dogs.

How did APAWLO Pets start?

Owning a high-drive, reactive dog meant that a simple walk down the street wasn’t easy or fulfilling. I found myself driving all over the city, searching for quiet parks, walking trails, and nature reserves with enough space to work through her reactivity and fulfil her needs.

That’s what inspired our very first product: our multifunctional car seat cover.

Our active lifestyle and daily adventures brought Winnie so much joy - but my poor car took the brunt of it.
Dirt, hair, sand, mud, drool - you name it, it was embedded in my seats!
I wanted to spend less time cleaning and more time training, exploring, and enjoying life with Winnie.

Working through those training challenges also ignited my passion to help other dogs live their lives to the absolute fullest, too.

At APAWLO Pets, we believe that being a dog owner goes beyond the basics. It’s about going the extra mile to give our dogs active, enriched, and deeply fulfilling lives. Our mission is to make that easier, with high-quality, Australian-designed products that help foster a strong, unbreakable bond between you and your dog.

When developing our products, Winnie and I pour our hearts into every detail. From durable toys for cooperative play to practical, stylish accessories for everyday use, everything is designed to elevate life with your dog.

It's time to unleash the extraordinary in your dog.
