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.

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.
