As you know we lost our Kubo last Thursday evening 💔Almost 4 weeks ago he ended up having surgery to remove his spleen which had a mass on it that had ruptured. It was also discovered that he had a large mass on his liver 😞Thanks to Belrose Veterinary Hospital the spleen removal surgery gave us an extra 3 weeks to be with him 🙏The type of dog Kubo was - he healed up so well after that surgery and was raring to go. Cancer didn't stop him or define him 🙏Then the floor fell out of our world when he crashed last Thursday - the mass in his liver ruptured. He crashed very quickly.He took him to NEVS where they very kindly and considerately helped us send him on. A horrible, horrible time, but their care was appreciated 🙏I love my vet. I know they loved Kubo and I know they love your animals too.Never take them for granted. They have to wear many different hats which we tend to forget.Thank you Belrose Veterinary Hospital 🙏 Make sure you tell your vet how much you appreciate them - it will mean a lot to them xo#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachespets
My Kubo 💔 with victory on his face because Wasabi didn't get up and move away from him...This photo was 7 years ago. He was only 18 months old.He eventually wore her down and they both became thick as thieves 💗After his surgery she sat on his bed and gave him little nose boops. There is no one to nose boops now 😞 We are all not ok, she's looking for him 😢💔Hug your dogs for me xo#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
My Piper helped in my first puppy class this morning by demonstrating calmness in her crate. She also came out and showed calm impulse control and focus while off lead.She was amazing 💕Second puppy class she remained in her crate and just watched. She didn't want to be inside by herself today and that is ok.She is not herself at the moment. The loss of Kubo has left a massive hole in our lives which we are struggling with 💔Going out for our walk today just didn't feel right without him there 😞💔Hug your dogs for me please xo#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
My Kubo - 27/12/2017 - 8/10/2026 You were given your wings tonight after the best day ever.We were so lucky to have 3 extra weeks with you after nearly losing you 💔If you have been following for a while, you know what my dogs mean to me and my family.If you have been following for a while you know what Kubo means to me and how many dogs he has helped before he retired.I often referred to him as perfect. He wrote the book on it.I don't have words now. Rest softly until I see you again my boy 💔

Nurse Wasabi checking on her man Kubo 💕These two have a glorious connection. They both love each other 💗She did make him work for it though!

Training should be fun.The course is 4 weeks, each session is 60 minutes in duration.Email me at pawfectbehaviour@gmail.com for all the details!#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies
Kubo has an aggressive form of cancer 💔The darling husband and I have spoken with our glorious vet - Belrose Veterinary Hospital . We need to be realistic and we are so appreciative of Dr Tim for giving us a little more time with him 🙏After having his spleen removed, he is now back to being cheeky and full of fire, which is fantastic.While we love up on Kubo, I cannot forget about Piper. She's only known a life with Kubo as well as Cumin and Wasabi.In a multi dog house, it is imperative to teach each animal to be independent. Be best friends - yes, but we need to teach them to be independent and look to us for guidance, not each other.I will be doing more outings with her separately and taking Kubo out while she stays home.When Kubo's time comes, I will also have to be very aware of her within my own grief and keep busy - for both our sakes.If you have dogs that are overly dependant on each other, start working on that now so they look to you for comfort, guidance and direction. Hug your dogs for me - they are precious 💕 #dogtrainer#dogsofnoethernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs

Dreaming after a lovely long line walk along a fire trail in Frenchs Forest 💗You would never know he had emergency surgery a week ago. Unfortunately the biopsy taken from his spleen has come back with the aggressive type of cancer we did not want 😭💔Nothing to be done but enjoy every moment with him 💕Our Piper has been a little off this last week, but plopped herself on his bed this afternoon and had a snooze with him.I will be doing a lot more independent work with her now in preparation.Hug your dogs for me xo#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
So last week was a roller coaster for us 😞I noticed Kubo was off very early on Tuesday morning.Long story short - he deteriorated over a couple of hours - 8.01am I was on the phone to my most wonderful vet - Belrose Veterinary Hospital . We took him up straight away suspecting a blockage of some sort.Unfortunately Dr Tim opened him up to find a ruptured mass on his spleen - which was removed. Kubo also has another very large mass on his liver.He came home to us on Wednesday afternoon after spending the night at NEVS.HE had his post op check this morning. The fabulous lad nosed his way straight into the clinic and stepped onto the weigh scale, his little tail wagging.He is rather perky today, but unfortunately it is now a waiting game.He could be with us for another week or month. He won't become an old boy 😭 but he will be spoilt rotten for however long we have.The darling husband and I are obviously numb and in shock - the page will be a little quiet for a while.Cuddle your dogs for me guys. They are so special 💕#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachespets
Remember The Queen? Daisy!Here she is with a very young Kubo 💕This tiny dog was a fabulous weirdo, but she taught Kubo so much.She didn't take any crap!I love these memories 💕#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
Spent the afternoon with this chick today!My Piper 💕Yeah... Those ears... 🤣💕😍🤣#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs

I get asked a lot about dogs in the kitchen... For me - no. Hard no...Piper would like to sit right under my stove while cooking if I let her, so I've put beds at the end of the kitchen.Both Kubo and Piper can be with me, but it isn't a trip fest...She steals the big bed though 🙄🤣Train your dog.#dogtraining#dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
Two pooped pups 💕Today's shenanigans at the park... 🙄Seems we were the magnets for people who just couldn't be bothered being with, or watching their dogs...A couple of really cute characters did laps with us today, while their owners just dawdled along behind... on their phones 🙄Now you might think "aaawww", but in reality - I'm there for my dogs, not to babysit someone else's dog...Lovely as they are... Why do people think it is ok for their dog to jump aboard someone else's puppy train???What is with that???That makes me sad. Their dog is much more interested in what me and mine are doing and has zero interest in their own owners!I just don't get it!Get with the program. Show up and show interest! BE with your dog!#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs #northernbeachespets
Here's the thing...It is a privilege to train your dog and you.It isn't about dominance.It is about the path of listening, learning and feeling.Communication.It is a privilege to be a trainer.I love it. I love building the foundation with the dog and handler.It's an incredible feeling!Vibe with your trainer. It's a groovy feeling 💕#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachespets
A post rehab treat 💕I got a 130 degree bend in rehab this morning👊🦿I have been an enemy in my own head this week... The poor darling husband 😞I'm not a Daisy Downer, but sometimes it is ok to have a sookilala moment... I had some last week.I am starting a puppy class as it is not as taxing on me - FYI puppy class starts Sunday, September 13 at 9am. Only one spot left.I do miss training, but it will take time.This morning - crushed it! Do the work - train your dog #dogtraining #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
Here's the thing...Don't make excuses for your dog.He's a rescue...She's a baby...He wants to say hello...She loves people...He loves balls, he wants your dog to chase him...Good grief Charlie Brown... 🙄😩I've had a total knee replacement - 8.5 weeks post op.A 16 month old adolescent dog came charging over to the darling husband and I.Jumped on my John and scratched the back of his leg 🤬 then decided to try me.Normally I'm pretty neutral and move on, but I don't want to be jumped on at the moment... Apart from puppy class - which starts on Sunday, September 13 at 9am - I'm not back to training yet because I'm still healing!Stop making excuses for your dog's behaviour people!If your dog is off lead they should be under 100% verbal control.If they aren't - do the training!#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs

Off lead dog parks.Here's the thing...Almost everyone goes there so their dog can run around and 'play' with other dogs.In doing this, their dog now becomes hyper aroused and charges into the park and proceeds to 'play'.The problem now is the owner is of absolutely no value to the dog at all.It has now become an expectation... Dog park = hyper, play with other dogs and ignoring owner.Recall - nup 🙄Don't be that person.It is not necessary for your dog to play with every dog or person they see.Layer up the foundation. Form the bonds of communication and engagement.Train your dog.#dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeachesdogs
