Things To Know for Dog Boarding in Yarra Valley
When it comes to dog training, setting your furry friend up for success is our top priority. We recommend starting with a chat with one of our trainers to understand your dog’s needs and the outcomes you want to achieve. Then our trainers can recommend the best program for you and your dog.
Puppies can join us for Puppy School 10 days after their second puppy vaccine. Adult dogs must be up to date with the C5 (or equivalent) vaccination. A current vaccination certificate must be sighted before commencing any Kip training program. We are able to cater for dogs that aren't desexed, but we do not take dogs in heat across our centres. To the extent your dog comes into heat whilst in our care, we will require an emergency contact to pick them up within 24 hours of being notified.
Why Choose Kip Happy Stays for Dog Training in Yarra Valley?
Choosing Kip for dog training means selecting a place where your dog can flourish under the guidance of skilled trainers. Our team employs reinforcement techniques that your dog responds to the best, ensuring that your dog learns in a supportive and encouraging environment.
We focus on understanding each dog’s unique personality and tailoring our training methods accordingly. This personalised approach helps your dog feel comfortable while learning new skills and behaviours.
In our Board & Train Program, many training sessions take place off-site in real-world environments. We find this approach helps solidify the new skills your dog is learning, ensuring that by the time they leave our care, they've already practised in everyday scenarios.
Our commitment to your dog's success extends beyond training sessions. You’ll receive regular updates on your dog's progress, allowing you to stay informed and engaged throughout their training journey. Ongoing support also means that your training journey doesn’t end the moment you leave our premises.
