Bridget R.

We have been bringing our new puppy Daphne here since she was first able to and cannot recommend highly enough. She goes 1-2 times a week for daycare and has just finished their 5 week puppy school and both have made such a huge difference in her training & wellbeing.

Meet The Trainer

Nhu Tran

Nhu

Cluster Manager (Brunswick, Thomastown, Fairfield)

Nhu is cluster manager of Kip Brunswick, Kip Thomastown and Kip Fairfield, and has been part of the Kip team for many years. Her favourite part of her role is helping dogs that lack confidence, find their feet in the daycare environment and in turn the great impact it has on their home lives.

The Benefits of Puppy School

Trust the Experts

Puppies are incredibly cheeky when they are young and, at no fault of their own, are born with certain behaviours that need correcting early on.

Build confident adult dogs

Puppy training is the first step in nurturing a balanced adult dog that is confident, responsive, and friendly to people and other dogs. Training also helps to prevent fear and aggressive responses in adolescent dogs.

Set up for Success

This early period in your dog’s life is seen as the most significant because it imprints important behaviours.

Always a good experience for our Hungarian Vizsla

They helped make our usually anxious little dog very comfortable over a 5 night stay. Thank you

Penny Gordon

Fergus always loves daycare so having sleepovers as well he was living his best life. Thank you for always looking after him so well. He loves you all. 😘

We booked a trial day at KIP Bayside because we’ve used a KIP daycare interstate for five years and always received 10/10 service and care. Unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. My husband arrived around 2:30 pm for pick-up and waited over 25 minutes. When a staff member finally came out, they brought the wrong dog. After some time, they returned with our dog but didn’t provide any feedback about how his trial day went. We were still charged $65 for the trial without any update on his behaviour, interactions, or whether he would be suitable to return. Given our previous excellent experiences with KIP elsewhere, this was quite surprising and disappointing.

This review is long overdue. My schnauzer is 16 and in the best care possible. They are so attentive and great at their personalised care. They are always closely monitoring my senior dog and he always smells so clean upon return. Great job!!!

Our fur-ball Cookie just finished boarding at Kips Bayside. She also has an ongoing day care package. We'd like to thank the staff at Kips Bayside for taking care of her, keeping her engaged and exercised... and many thanks for all the daily photos and videos. She came home very happy and healthy. We can't recommend Kips and the professional staff enough. Well done.

Chris A

Our dog really enjoyed her stay at Kip Bayside. Fabulous updates and communication from the team during her stay, which is very comforting. This is her second stay, and both times she has come back clean and relaxed. She’s very tired from all the fun 🥰!

Sabrina Potter

Our little Murphy has been a couple of times and absolutely loves it. He comes home exhausted and was super excited to return on our second visit. The staff were really lovely and you could tell they just loved looking after the pups. I really appreciated the report card and the factt that they were attentive to our pups needs. The process was smooth but thoroughly thought through. Highly recommend if you want to socialise your pup and give them a little day of fun

Rheana Dong

My Border Collie, Kippa, had his very first boarding experience at Kip, and he stayed there for three weeks. I received daily videos of him happily playing, which really reassured me about how well he was doing. On the last day, when I went to pick him up, he had just been bathed, smelled wonderful, and came running toward me with pure joy. I believe Kippa truly enjoyed his time at Kip — socializing with so many different dogs every day and even making his own best friend. This experience has been meaningful for both of us. Even if I need to travel again in the future, I’m confident that Kippa will be more than happy to stay at his “second home.”

Kathy Roberts

Buddy had a marvelous first day at Kip doggie daycare. He complained the following day that he wasn’t going to Kip! Next week he will have another exciting day with lots of sleep recovery needed. (Buddy is only 2 years old and very lively).

Our dog has been here a few times and he loves it. They are very flexible with drop off and pick up times and really take the time to get to know your pooch.

We love the video updates that we get during his stay and it's a real.peace of mind knowing that your dog is well-taken care of and given as much attention as if he were at home.

I was incredibly nervous about leaving Alice for over 2 weeks. But KIP being recommended to me by friends, made the experience so great! She was looked after and loved like part of the family. Definitely send Alice back to her friends again. She’s not a smiley dog normally and I couldn’t believe how happy she was, grinning in all the videos.

Staff and atmosphere is 5 star. Jox loved his time here will definitely be back. Thank you Kip bayside

Kim Thai

We are beyond grateful to Kip Bayside for looking after Millie and Winston while we were getting married! From the very first moment, we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur babies in their care. We received daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was so clear how loved and happy they were during their stay. The team went above and beyond to make everything seamless — even coordinating directly with our vendor to bring Millie and Winston to our ceremony so they could be part of our special day. They even gave them a wash so they looked and smelled perfect for the occasion! Thank you doesn’t feel like enough. You made such an important part of our wedding possible, and we’ll always remember how thoughtful and supportive you were through it all. We can’t recommend Kip Bayside highly enough — they’re absolute superstars!

First and foremost I would love to thank everybody from Kip Bayside team for assisting me with my dog Pluto. Now this is the first time I have ever placed my dog in some sort of dog boarding facility and Pluto’s experience has been wonderful .the attention to detail that they give to my Dog has exceeded my expectations. They played with Pluto every day. They look after Pluto they fed Pluto. They showered Pluto and they kept Pluto company while I was away. Most importantly they look after Pluto’s health and they take it very seriously, while I was away. Pluto had some stomach issues and immediately they sent me an email and immediately they helped me sort out the problem with Pluto and in one day everything is back to normal and they assisted me with every single process. I am very very happy with the result Pluto is very happy with the result and I will definitely put him back there if I need their service. 10/10.

Amazing place awesome staff. Shout out to Maddy she is always wonderful and our dog loves her so much. We call this place Disneyland because of how much our dog loves it. The daily updates are always great.

Very good. Front desk staff are fantastic and made us feel at ease. Dogs were well cared for and we have used their services 3 times now.

Nicolee Smee

We love it or should I say Koda does! He has improved so much since going there and Danny and his team are fantastic. Koda can be very boisterous 🙄 and a bit bossy but they have his measure and know how to handle him! He thrives there! Best thing we did, taking him back!!

Bobbie, our choc lab, has been going to Kip since she was a puppy and absolutely loves it! Kip has been a blessing in so many ways for Bobbie’s development — socially, emotionally, and physically. She has a blast playing with her friends, and we love the photos and videos they send during the day. She always comes home happy and tired after a big day. Thanks so much!

Jason Bailey

I've started taking my 6 month old toy cavoodle to Kips for the past month and I couldn't be happier as a result. Started off a timid shy puppy has now thanks to the team @ Kips gained so much confidence and social skills its amazing. The team take such good care of your pooch and even send you videos. We will continue to come to Kips as my dog loves it. 100% Recommend.

This is my baby boy Henry's favourite place in the whole world! Home away from home!He can't wait to get in there and play with his friends! Thank you for all the staff that looks after him ❤️

My two dogs recently stayed at KIP Moorabbin for a week. I received daily updates from KIP with photos and videos showing what my dogs were up to. I could tell from their extremely wagging tails that they were very happy and comfortable with their temporary home. When collecting my dogs, they were freshly bathed and the staff even washed their blankets I had supplied. I recommend KIP Moorabbin!

Tony Miceli

Really love this place, the staff are friendly and take great care of my fur baby.

I started bringing little Flossy a few months ago to get her out of her shell and build her confidence. KIP bayside are superstars!!!! They have gone above and beyond to accommodate my anxious and very nervous pup. She has new friends and loves greeting every dog we walk past now. The dog park has even become her favourite place instead of her greatest fear. Can’t recommend KIP enough :)

David Gale

Mr. Wilde normally travels with us, but once in a while, the need for boarding arises. As we had relocated to Victoria from the Sunshine Coast, I hadn’t had to board him in melb before. Fortunately I found Kip! Being nervous pawrents, the daily vids and pics were very reassuring whilst we were away. On pickup, Mr. Wilde was very tired, but clearly very fond of Danny and vice versa. It is reassuring to know that our doggie can be left and well looked after! The first pic is when he was told he was going to boarding, the second is when he was living the high life at Kip! Thanks

Bobbie, our choc lab, has been going to Kip since she was a puppy and absolutely loves it! Kip has been a blessing in so many ways for Bobbie’s development — socially, emotionally, and physically. She has a blast playing with her friends, and we love the photos and videos they send during the day. She always comes home happy and tired after a big day. Thanks so much!

I've started taking my 6 month old toy cavoodle to Kips for the past month and I couldn't be happier as a result. Started off a timid shy puppy has now thanks to the team @ Kips gained so much confidence and social skills its amazing. The team take such good care of your pooch and even send you videos. We will continue to come to Kips as my dog loves it. 100% Recommend.

My two dogs recently stayed at KIP Moorabbin for a week. I received daily updates from KIP with photos and videos showing what my dogs were up to. I could tell from their extremely wagging tails that they were very happy and comfortable with their temporary home. When collecting my dogs, they were freshly bathed and the staff even washed their blankets I had supplied. I recommend KIP Moorabbin!

I started bringing little Flossy a few months ago to get her out of her shell and build her confidence. KIP bayside are superstars!!!! They have gone above and beyond to accommodate my anxious and very nervous pup. She has new friends and loves greeting every dog we walk past now. The dog park has even become her favourite place instead of her greatest fear. Can’t recommend KIP enough :)

Mr. Wilde normally travels with us, but once in a while, the need for boarding arises. As we had relocated to Victoria from the Sunshine Coast, I hadn’t had to board him in melb before. Fortunately I found Kip! Being nervous pawrents, the daily vids and pics were very reassuring whilst we were away. On pickup, Mr. Wilde was very tired, but clearly very fond of Danny and vice versa. It is reassuring to know that our doggie can be left and well looked after! The first pic is when he was told he was going to boarding, the second is when he was living the high life at Kip! Thanks

Courteous staff and a place my dog loves going too. Easy booking process and the staff ensure your furry pet is well taken care of. The mid day photos and videos of their progress is very nice to see.

I was incredibly nervous about leaving Alice for over 2 weeks. But KIP being recommended to me by friends, made the experience so great! She was looked after and loved like part of the family. Definitely send Alice back to her friends again. She’s not a smiley dog normally and I couldn’t believe how happy she was, grinning in all the videos.

We are beyond grateful to Kip Bayside for looking after Millie and Winston while we were getting married! From the very first moment, we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur babies in their care. We received daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was so clear how loved and happy they were during their stay. The team went above and beyond to make everything seamless — even coordinating directly with our vendor to bring Millie and Winston to our ceremony so they could be part of our special day. They even gave them a wash so they looked and smelled perfect for the occasion! Thank you doesn’t feel like enough. You made such an important part of our wedding possible, and we’ll always remember how thoughtful and supportive you were through it all. We can’t recommend Kip Bayside highly enough — they’re absolute superstars!

First and foremost I would love to thank everybody from Kip Bayside team for assisting me with my dog Pluto. Now this is the first time I have ever placed my dog in some sort of dog boarding facility and Pluto’s experience has been wonderful .the attention to detail that they give to my Dog has exceeded my expectations. They played with Pluto every day. They look after Pluto they fed Pluto. They showered Pluto and they kept Pluto company while I was away. Most importantly they look after Pluto’s health and they take it very seriously, while I was away. Pluto had some stomach issues and immediately they sent me an email and immediately they helped me sort out the problem with Pluto and in one day everything is back to normal and they assisted me with every single process. I am very very happy with the result Pluto is very happy with the result and I will definitely put him back there if I need their service. 10/10.
