Things To Know for Dog Training in Canberra
Our dog training programs are designed to be tailored to your dog and their behaviours to give your dog the support they need to succeed. We begin by getting to know your dog and understanding your goals, which helps us recommend the best training program for you.
Before starting any of our programs, your dog must be up to date with their C5 (or equivalent) vaccinations. You’ll need to upload their vaccination certificate to your Customer Portal before training can begin. We are able to cater for dogs that aren't desexed, but we do not take dogs in heat across our centres.

Whether your goal is obedience, addressing problem behaviours, or simply enhancing your dog's daily routine, we’re committed to setting both you and your dog up for success.
You’ll receive regular progress updates and support, so you’re never out of the loop on how your dog is doing. Our ongoing assistance ensures that you can continue reinforcing your dog's learning even after the program ends, providing you with the tools to foster a positive and fulfilling relationship with your dog.

I like to believe that our dog is their favorite, but maybe they make everyone feel like that. It's certain that going here is our dogs favorite activity!
Me and my Noodlyhead love Kip Brunswick, thanks for taking such good care of her when I have to go to work... She always has a ball and I love updates of her having a great time!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🐕💚
Awesome little puppy school and day care ! We took our 10 week old puppy there for school and they treated him so well, we got one on one care and advice and they took the most gorgeous graduation photo!
My border collie cross Olivewas a recent adoption from RSPCA when she had her first stay at Kip Ipswich. She returned to me happy and settled then on her second stay at Kip she greeted staff so enthusiastically that I know I can always count on her being happy there. Thanks Kip for the updates and for taking such good care of Olive.
Great place with caring and friendly staff and competitive prices. Our dog absolutely loves it here and we love how they keep us informed with photos and videos through the day, and they also provide feedback when we pick her up.
It actually would of been rude of me, not to write a review!! My mini dachshund goes here, and unlike other schools they do not have the dangerous equipment i was anxious about. The daycare was super friendly, nice, reassuring and patient with my baby... I received a report card on his first day, and in great detail which means they really do not over look anything. You have you own account, and not only receive updates but little personal videos, along with the ones posted on Instagram. Kip is everywhere, and your account is connected, so it is super convenient and i would totally recommend for anyone looking! Thank you!!! x
Great place! They even do report cards for your dawg I like that they have enrichment activities too.
Great place for your doggo to spend a day when you're otherwise engaged. The staff know their dogs and the service is excellent. Our pup always comes home happily satisfied from a day of activity.
