Areas We Service in Victoria

Conveniently located in Greater Melbourne, our puppy classes and comprehensive dog training programs take place in purpose-built facilities designed for focused learning and growth. We’ve helped hundreds fur families from all over Victoria with dog training and we can’t wait to begin your training journey.

Things To Know for Dog Training in Victoria

If you’re just starting out on your training journey with your new puppy, Kip Puppy School is the best way to set them up for success. With guidance from our experienced trainers, your pup will learn vital skills while interacting with other dogs, setting the stage for a well-rounded and happy companion.

Our Board & Train program is our most popular option, providing a tailored training experience where your dog stays with us for 16-25 days, depending on the specific goals you wish to achieve. Your dog will enjoy multiple training sessions daily, with accommodation and meals included in the cost of the program.

We encourage you to chat with our certified trainers too to set clear, achievable outcomes before commencing your program. It’s important to remember that our programs are not a quick fix. We lay the groundwork for positive behaviour, but it’s essential for you to continue reinforcing these skills to maintain progress.

Your dog must also meet our vaccination requirements before starting and while we can cater for dogs that aren't desexed, we do not take dogs on heat across our locations. While we cater to many dogs, not all may be suitable for our programs, and if needed, we can recommend alternative options.

Unique Benefits of Kip Dog Training in Victoria

If you’re looking to get your new dog set up with the basics, Kip Puppy School is perfect for Victorian pups. Our program focuses on essential socialisation, basic obedience, and building confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

Our Standard Board & Train Program lasts 21 days, with our certified trainers creating a tailored plan that meets your dog’s specific needs. The program not only equips your dog with lifelong skills but also involves them in real-world scenarios, ensuring they know how to navigate various situations confidently.

Throughout their stay, we provide regular updates, keeping you informed about your dog's progress and achievements. You also receive access to online modules to supplement your dog’s learning.

At the end of the program, you'll receive a comprehensive handover that details everything your dog has learned, empowering you to continue their training journey at home.

If the Board & Train Program doesn’t suit your needs, consider adding Canine Coaching sessions during your dog’s boarding stay for additional enrichment. Alternatively, you may prefer our Daycare & Train option which is a great way to give your pooch some extra stimulation and some new manners along the way!
