Our Board & Train program blends comfortable boarding with personalised dog training, helping your dog build lasting skills while you're away. Weekly updates and a practical handover session set you both up for success at home.

We sent our dog to Kip Canberra for the 3 week training program. We picked him up two weeks ago and he is a changed man. He walks so politely and really listens when we give him direction. Money well spent for a happy life with our Duke.

Private Consultations
2 Sessions
$99
During these two sessions, our certified trainers will work with you 1-on-1 to understand your dog, tackle problem behaviours, and build a personalised plan for you and your dogās needs.
The first session is about discovery and the second session is provides hands-on training guidance to help set your dog up for success. This program is designed for dogs of all ages and skill levels.
Note: We may recommend further training and some of our other programs to continue the progress made in these consultations.
Canine Coaching
Add to your Boarding Stay
$75 /day
Your dog will have multiple sessions with one of our qualified trainers during their boarding stay. This gives your dog plenty of additional mental and physical activity throughout the day rather than the regular single-play session. It's perfect for dogs that are high-energy, or if you would like them to get extra enrichment.
Note: This option is only available if your dog also has a boarding booking with us.

Lexi loved her time there and she will want to back! I really enjoyed the updates, photos of her zoomies was just perfect.
Wonderful staff. They know our little ones, look after them and interact with their little personalities.
Staff care about your pets ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Our dogs and cats had such a great stay. The daily updates with photos helps relieve the guilt of leaving them behind. Thx Kip Canberra.
Very happy thank you
Have used Kip several times and more than happy to recommend. My boys are never stressed to go there and the staff are brilliant .
I won't take my pets anywhere else! Impeccable care and efforts from Sian and the whole team!
Louie is always looked after. I enjoy the photos of him each day. Heās been boarding at Kip Canberra since he was a puppy and heās 8 now. Thanks guys for letting me have the confidence to leave him with you and not have to worry.
This is an exceptional boarding place. Our dog loved it and he has difficulty with other dogs. We loved the photo updates of his stay and the staff are accommodating.
My 8 year old Kelpie cross Poppy had 5 days at Kip. She has never boarded before, so I was nervous about leaving her as she has anxiety and is used to human company 24/7. I received updates twice a day, with terrific photos and news about her, which eased my concerns. When we picked her up, she was tired but happy. I would happily take her to Kip again. The staff are absolutely terrific, and the facility is great. She stayed in a luxury room, which gave her something as close to her home comforts as possible. Thank you Kip Canberra.
We have left our precious pups with Kip on several occasions and sometimes I wonder whether they want to come home.
Janet and Aiden are brilliant with the dogs. All staff care about your furbabies and treat them like royalty
Good service and appreciation extended to Tommy, Sian, Kursley and Belinda š¤š
Our German Shepherd Sunny seems to really enjoy her stays at Kip. We are berysatisfied with her care there
We put our 1.5 yr old mini groodle into a 21 day board and train. While we had done some ground work of basic obedience at home we found that we were challenged on a daily basis by our highly intelligent dog. The 21 day board and train worked as a beautiful reset for us and our dog. The whole family worked through the online learning modules which helped us to better understand where our errors had been when working Memphis previously. Janet and Aiden did a fantastic job with Memphis and when we were all reunited we were able to see the results of their patience and dedication to help shape more positive behaviours from our boy. The handover was thorough was a fantastic opportunity to be reassured that yes, our dog was highly intelligent (and likes to play the system a bit) butyes he is a beautiful dog who works to please. Our connection with him since being home is signifcantly better and we are continung on with his training and trying various methods (as taught by the program) to keep his mind working with and without us. Thank you to Janet and Aiden for all your support.
I booked my cavoodle for a week for the first time into Kip! It completely exceeded my expectation. From customer service, daily updates and photos and a summary of the stay when picking up. My dog is quite anxious around other dogs but she seemed to be okay in the photos I was sent which helped us being seperate from her. I loved the addition of being able to select a different food also with booking and extend her stay due to circumstances with no issues. Highly recommend
Beau, my miniature dachshund, has been to Kip for longer vacations but only one weekend this time. Beau like the kennels very much and is well cared for.
Our dog Bella is now getting old and has medication and other needs. Kip Canberra staff looked after her with much care and kindness. Thank you so much!
Our lively Labrador loved her stay at Kip Canberra. The staff are so friendly and we love the regular updates and photos through the activity portal.

My two Burmese cats, Banjo and Velvet enjoy coming to Kip - if the photos are anything to go by! The staff are wonderful and caring and obviously enjoy working at Kip. I so appreciate receiving photos of Banjo and Vevet during their stay and I have every confidence they are well cared for. I have no hesitation in recommending Kip to look after your pets.
My Mastiff returned home happy and healthy and from the daily clips of his activity, thoroughly enjoyed his long weekend.
Done amazing job earning the trust and training my difficult but most loved GSD- love Janet and all the team-
Had to board my dog (Luke) while getting evaluated for surgery. I was worried about how the experience would be for him since he's very skittish around strangers. The team at Kip sent daily photos of him during playtime which helped reassure me that he was in good hands. When I picked him up, he was very happy and as soon as I came home he was back to his usual self which is indicative of a very good boarding experience. Highly recommend this place! Prices are fair for the quality of service as well.
My pup Towa went to kip for board & training in November 2025 and continues to attend one on one training and daycare & train. She has made such amazing progress during her sessions and shows nothing but pure joy when attending (sometimes being more excited to see Janet than she is to see me when I pick her up). Janet has been one of the best trainers I have ever gone to and displays nothing but passion for the pups. I do not feel judged or criticised for Towas off days and we are supported in what works for us. Thank you so much Kip and Janet šš¾
Excellent kennel for us. Coco is always happy at pickup and the staff are very kind and caring.
Thanks Kip Canberra for the care and attention given to both us and our dogs during their first boarding experience. Our typically anxious dog came home happy, healthy and clearly got a lot of pats, cuddles and special attention. The process from booking to pick up was seamless. The Kip app is great and we loved the daily updates and videos.
I had a lovely chat with Kirstin on the phone today! I was looking at different kennels for my dog to stay while we are away, and she was so helpful and informative with all my questions. I will definitely be bringing my pup here!
Our 2 kelpies have a great time at Kip Canberra! They come home healthy and happy. We love the daily photo updates also. The facilities seem very clean, and the staff are always professional.
My dogs have been staying there on and off for many years and they love it, and their carers. My new dachshund Matilda spent 3 weeks there recently and enjoyed the training package. She learnt a lot and was very happy and full of energy when I picked her up today. I think she will love the ongoing package of daycare training to inspire and encourage her to maintain her confidence and skills. Thank you so much Janet and the team.
Bailey loved her time at Kip Canberra. She went through the Board and Train program and there has been such a change. The learning not just for Bailey but for ourselves as well was excellent.
We were very happy that our Boy Diego had the best time during such a busy time of the year. All staff were so pleasant to deal with and listened to our concerns. Thanks Kip Canberra!
The Board and Train Program at Kip Canberra exceeded all expectations. Janet and the team took incredible care of our Kelpie, Tilly, and the results speak for themselves. Tilly came home happy, confident, and so well-trained. We are extremely grateful!! Thank you Janet, you were amazing!!!
As always I picked up a happy and healthy girl. I received photos of my girl daily that showed her active and happy. I canāt recommend Kip highly enough, as my girl is always happy when I pick her up.
Our dog stayed with Kip for almost 6 weeks. During that time we were sent daily updates including pics and videos. Kip also went out of their way to help with a medication issue. We cannot recommend them enough! We came back to a happy dog who clearly had a great time with Kip!!
Shadow always enjoys his stay at KIP Canberra. Great, friendly staff and the daily pics are appreciated.
I have been using the team at Kip Canberra for all our pet "resort" care needs. Both dogs love to visit for a weekend or a week (or two) too. The service from all staff members has always been fantastic. We love the regular photo updates posted by the carers, they always appear to be having a great time. Daily play time and bushwalks keep them entertained and engaged. They were looking and smelling great after Kip Care, unexpectedly, bathed them, at their last visit, too. Thanks Kip Canberra for looking after our furry family members. Updated: 6/11/2025. :-D

Excellent kennel for us. Coco is always happy at pickup and the staff are very kind and caring.
Thanks Kip Canberra for the care and attention given to both us and our dogs during their first boarding experience. Our typically anxious dog came home happy, healthy and clearly got a lot of pats, cuddles and special attention. The process from booking to pick up was seamless. The Kip app is great and we loved the daily updates and videos.
I had a lovely chat with Kirstin on the phone today! I was looking at different kennels for my dog to stay while we are away, and she was so helpful and informative with all my questions. I will definitely be bringing my pup here!
Our 2 kelpies have a great time at Kip Canberra! They come home healthy and happy. We love the daily photo updates also. The facilities seem very clean, and the staff are always professional.
My dogs have been staying there on and off for many years and they love it, and their carers. My new dachshund Matilda spent 3 weeks there recently and enjoyed the training package. She learnt a lot and was very happy and full of energy when I picked her up today. I think she will love the ongoing package of daycare training to inspire and encourage her to maintain her confidence and skills. Thank you so much Janet and the team.
Bailey loved her time at Kip Canberra. She went through the Board and Train program and there has been such a change. The learning not just for Bailey but for ourselves as well was excellent.
We were very happy that our Boy Diego had the best time during such a busy time of the year. All staff were so pleasant to deal with and listened to our concerns. Thanks Kip Canberra!
The Board and Train Program at Kip Canberra exceeded all expectations. Janet and the team took incredible care of our Kelpie, Tilly, and the results speak for themselves. Tilly came home happy, confident, and so well-trained. We are extremely grateful!! Thank you Janet, you were amazing!!!
As always I picked up a happy and healthy girl. I received photos of my girl daily that showed her active and happy. I canāt recommend Kip highly enough, as my girl is always happy when I pick her up.
Our dog stayed with Kip for almost 6 weeks. During that time we were sent daily updates including pics and videos. Kip also went out of their way to help with a medication issue. We cannot recommend them enough! We came back to a happy dog who clearly had a great time with Kip!!
Shadow always enjoys his stay at KIP Canberra. Great, friendly staff and the daily pics are appreciated.
I have been using the team at Kip Canberra for all our pet "resort" care needs. Both dogs love to visit for a weekend or a week (or two) too. The service from all staff members has always been fantastic. We love the regular photo updates posted by the carers, they always appear to be having a great time. Daily play time and bushwalks keep them entertained and engaged. They were looking and smelling great after Kip Care, unexpectedly, bathed them, at their last visit, too. Thanks Kip Canberra for looking after our furry family members. Updated: 6/11/2025. :-D
Kip takes such good care of our dog whenever we go away! She can be an anxious girl and the team at Kip look after her so well and we are so appreciative of the daily updates we get while weāre away š
From arrival to pickup we were very impressed and completely reassured our pets were in safe hands.
