Things To Know for Dog Training in Melbourne

In order to get the most out of your training experience, we always recommend talking to our trainers about what outcomes you’re hoping to achieve with your dog. That way, we can recommend the best program for you and your dog.

We do require that all dogs are up to date with their vaccinations (C5 or equivalent) before starting any adult training program, and we do not take dogs on heat across any of our locations. Puppies can join us for Puppy School 10 days after their second puppy vaccine.

Why Choose Kip Happy Stays for Dog Training in Melbourne?

Our trainers are dedicated to building positive relationships with dogs, fostering trust and encouraging good behaviour.

Our Board & Train Program includes training sessions that frequently take place off-site, in real-world environments. This approach ensures that your dog practices their newly learned skills in everyday scenarios, making the transition smoother when they leave our facilities and encounter similar situations in daily life.

We believe in the effectiveness of consistency and positive reinforcement, making the training process enjoyable and rewarding for your dog. You’ll receive regular updates and supplementary modules to assist your learning, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing and what to practice at home.

Consistent practice at home is key to reinforcing what your dog learns in our training programs. Our programs aren’t designed to be a quick fix for your dog, rather to help you understand your dog’s behaviours and give you the tools to manage their behaviour. This is crucial to building lifelong skills in your dog and to improve the relationship between you and your dog.

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!

Maxine Jones

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.

Antz

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.

Tori Darrington

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.

Simon Stanistreet

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.
