Meg was absolutely amazing with Frankie our 18 month old Groodle! She is much calmer and training went well. We got emailed photos everyday while we were overseas and absolutely loved them! Thanks again to Megan for all her support and training with Frankie

This is the third time our dog, Arthur, has stayed at KIP Southeast. As always, Arthur had a wonderful time. The trainers, Megan and Meg, took excellent care of him — not only providing regular training but also giving him warm and kind attention. My family and I would like to sincerely thank the KIP Southeast team, especially Megan, Meg, and Jules, for their professionalism and genuine love for dogs.

nick francis

Sasha always has a wonderful time at KIP. The staff are absolutely wonderful and very accomodating and easy to communicate with. Very clean facilities and highly I knowledgeable staff.

Davina Cossigny

My boy Bronx has had a wonderful time at Kip Dandenong Board & Train. He’s come back relaxed and chilled and I think he missed being there! Will definitely be back for refreshers and Dogg day care and train. Love that there is a facility in the south eastern area.

Cian O'Reilly

Such an amazing experience with Kip and Alex! We were so nervous to leave our dog when we went on vacation but the knowledge of how professional this team was had us confident it would all be okay. The constant updates and genuine care for all the dogs staying with them is amazing

Malith L

I recently had my girl chilli at kips for 3 weeks, Following there updates and show of progress i extended for another week. Megan and her team took care of my girl and set the foundation for me to keep training her. Educated chilli as well as given me the education for me to continue with her training. Loved the handover process, sat down for a briefing about 2 hours and followed up with a practical lesson. Even set up for a follow up visit to see how my girl is progressing. I received timely Video/Photo updates and further email updates to explain how and what training is in place and how is she progressing. For someone struggling with a furry friend, I absolutely recommend KIPS This is the right place for it. Thanks Megan and Team. You guys are Killing it.

Molly McCarthy

The team at Kip were absolutely wonderful to our GSD Iris! We booked her in for the 21 day board and train program with trainer Alex to help us manage her reactivity and stress and it has been incredible! The Kip team made drop off seamless and were so accomodating of us being anxious dog parents. Alex was fabulous at working with Iris every day and sent us little photo/video updates along the way. Having worked with other trainers before with minimal success, this program has exceeded our expectations tenfold. We couldn’t be happier with Iris’ progress and couldn’t recommend Alex and the Kip team more. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much guys 😊

sonia rodriguez

I would like to say a big thank you for all the work you as a team have put in to help Bruno be more confident and happier on our walks no longer are we going for walks at night I would walk him at night so there would not be anyone around I was unsure of how he would react to people as he used to lunge and growel at people because he was unsure and nervous. Bruno is still a work in progress but KIP board and training has set him and myself up to succeed. He is calmer looks for cues when we do our training and no longer see's people as scarey. Thank you to Meg and the team. Sonia

Emily Grove

Dogs came home happy and healthy. Daily photo updates were so comforting !! Will definitely use Kip again for our beloved Pepper and Frankie !!

andre conti

Good place for your leaving your dogs and cats. Good professionals and safe environment for your love ones

June Ho

KIP is the best. Their staff are very helpful and our fur baby loves this place every time of his stay. They sent us videos and photos so we know how our fur baby is enjoying themselves during the stay.

Samir Abdallah

very friendly and informative. Meg was a great instructor

Ali Aumann

First time using Kip MSE with my 6 mo puppy, Bowie. I was impressed with the professionalism and communication even before I left Bowie with Kip for a 17 day Board and Train program. Kip wanted to know every little thing about Bowie and what he and I needed during his stay. I really looked forward to the daily "pupdates" - either photos or videos or both, showing his progress in learning. I could also tell he was absolutely enjoying himself, while learning. The handover at the end of his stay with Alex, was amazing, comprehensive and through. Bowie has come back to me a calmer, more attentive boy, but still himself with his cheeky puppy ways. Thankyou Alex and all the staff at Kip MSE for looking after Bowie while I was away. Will definitely use Kip MSE again and would highly recommend them to anyone considering boarding and training your dog or puppy.

Jackie Allen

Our beautiful Koda has just returned from 3 weeks of training at Kip South East. We are so happy to have him home with us and grateful for the skills he and our Family have learnt to make him a calmer dog. Alex was great at communicating with us along the way and the frequent photo updates gave us peace of mind that he was happy and well cared for. Thank you, Alex, and the South East team. We would not hesitate to recommend your services.

Andy Huynh

Thanks to the team at Kip Melbourne South East who have been wonderful to my little Golden, Stella. She was part of the 21 days Board and Train program while I was overseas. The daily updates were great to see that our little girl was having a blast while we were away. The process start to finish was very smooth, and getting a very handy and informative 2 hour handover upon my return. I'll like to give special thanks to Megan for the updates and time you gave Stella, and for your continued support even after the program. Once again thanks to the whole team at Kip!

Yazmin Narayan

Kip has been amazing to keep our girl at. She stayed for about 20-21 days and we were provided with daily photos and when possible videos of her everyday. Kip responds to enquiries asap and did not mind that I was either calling or emailing for an update and we’ve never left our dog for that long before. Would definitely use them again.

Chris Park

Well looked after but lots of big trucks on the road and right on the bend. Best to turn left to exit and do a U turn through the petrol station.

I can't recommend Meg and the team at KIP Board and Train enough! They have completely transformed my dog's behavior in ways I never thought possible. From the first consultation to the final session, their expertise, patience, and dedication were evident every step of the way. My dog, who once had a few behavioral challenges, is now more obedient, confident, and well-mannered. The personalised training approach made all the difference, and it’s clear that the KIP team genuinely cares about the success of both the dog and the owner. Worth every single cent, and I’m beyond thrilled with the results. This has truly been a game changer for my pup and our relationship. Thank you, Meg and team!

Christine T

Kip South East pet boarding looked after my two Maltese shih tzu and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff was friendly and helpful and took the time to get to know my pets, which made me feel at ease leaving them in their care. They send me daily photos to see how my pets are doing. What stood out to me the most was how affordable the service was without compromising on quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and budget-friendly pet care!

Joanne Xia

I have an AM staffy x, he had 21days training camp during the Christmas to new year period. He’s much calmer than before. Not been disturbed or aroused by the dogs passing by on the streets. He was happy to return when he had his first follow up session.

Olivia Walford

Our 1 year old German shepherd spent 2 weeks at kip doing the training and board program. He loved it. We were sent photos and videos almost every day and he was always smiling in them. Trainer Alex was amazing and our boy is much calmer and obedient now.

Tathra Di Liberto

Amazing staff and facilities. My boys had an amazing stay. I was kept to to date abiut my 2 puppers, ai was informes if any issues promptly and bya came hime clea and happy.

Valerie Koo

Highly recommend! We signed up our 7 months old goldie (Nugget) for the 21 days Board and Train program and saw significant improvement when we picked him up. We were also given a thorough handover session to ensure continuous training at home is made easy for us. Overall, very satisfied and thanks so much Alex and the Kip team at MSE!

Silvia Ferretti

This one was my very first experience with a Kip or with a similar service, so I was a bit nervous at the beginning. But I couldn’t be more statisfied. I received punctual photos and videos of my doggies every day and they always looked happy. When I went to pick them up they have been washed and looked fresh and happy, not stressed at all - I recommend Kip South East, staff very competent and friendly.

Dylan Ryan

Absolutely fantastic, we had our one year old staffy Mia at the board and train programme and wow the difference afterwards, before training she was so hyper and excited to meet new people and would jump all over everyone and walks were constant lead pulling and getting distracted, when she returned shes performed very well at home over the christmas period especially with 4 new family members staying over shes listened and been well behaved around them and out for walks is just a whole new thing, loose leash and following commands it’s great, 10/10

jacqui butler-holloway

Our boy Bo has just had his first stay in boarding kennels he’s just 9 months old We can’t thank all the staff for such an amazing experience

Van Vidotto

This was our first time using Kip Kennels, and wow, what an amazing experience! Our dogs usually experience kennel stress for at least three days after returning from other kennels, but not this time. Kip Kennels provided daily photos and playtime, which were absolute winners. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our dogs received. Highly recommend!

Caitlin L

We were worried about Prince doing daycare, as the last time he did at another place, he got super stressed and had to be picked up early. This place was incredible! We did the daycare/training. They said Prince did great and they used treats to reward him being calm. We'll be coming here for every boarding. We got a video and report card for Prince as well!

Jack Lu

Recently had our senior 9 year old Samoyed Meeko at Kips for 2 and a half weeks with trainer Megan. We were provided almost daily updates of her progress as well as a comprehensive handover after picking her up. Her behaviour has improved dramatically and Megan has steered us in the right direction. The training is worth every penny and I highly encourage anyone give it a go if your furry one isn’t the most obedient.

Carmen nguyen

Where do I begin… before Meg and the amazing team at Kip, my banh mi was a big, uncontrollable, strong, very excited puppy! At 7 months she remodeled the house by smashing the doors of their hinges, she broke a whole shelf of cups with her big tail and the list goes on.. Banh Mi boarded at Kip for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and she has come home a different dog! She is soo calm, she listens, I can actually take her on walks instead of being dragged around and the best part is banh mi still has her beautiful bubbly personality!!! Meg and the team are truly a god send! No words can ever express how grateful we are for their love and care for banh mi! THANK YOU!!!

mick carroll

Great place for your dogs needs. My dog had a small problem with a lump on her leg. Adam kept me informed regularly and organised a bucket collar for my dog so the problem didn't get any worse. Great job Adam and his team! Couldn't recommend this kennel highly enough!

First time for Maya and Tazzy at Kip Melbourne South East and we could not be happier. They were very well cared for, we got cute photo updates and staff were happy to answer all our questions both on drop off and pick-up. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and the whole process was very smooth. We went on our holidays happy, knowing they were in good hands. We will not hesitate to book them again and definitely recommend Kip Melbourne South East ☺️

We booked our 3 year old Mini Dachshund in for a 3 week train and stay experience and I couldn’t recommend KIP more. He has some complex issues and behaviours but nothing felt like too much for any of the team to handle. We were assigned Megan as our trainer and she is greatly educated in how she trains both the dogs and us as the owners. We could really see she has a passion for her work and an immense care for our boys needs. He came home with more confidence and a much more relaxed demeanour and we now have the skills shown by Megan to carry on his training at home.

Jess Williams

Super caring and knowledgeable team, had my dog in for the board and train program and they handled all of his issues really well and definitely put him on track. Would definitely use their services again!

I recently had spinal surgery, so during my recovery period over 4 -5 weeks I made a decision to place my beautiful 10 month old border collie cross staffy Maddie with KIP. This was the best decision I could have made under my circumstances. KIP and trainer Alex have done a fantastic job of transforming Maddie into a new dog with new obedience skills. KIP is an excellent place to leave your dog that is a totally safe and happy environment with the best staff you could possibly want. Well done to Alex for being a wonderful trainer and person!

I can't recommend Meg and the team at KIP Board and Train enough! They have completely transformed my dog's behavior in ways I never thought possible. From the first consultation to the final session, their expertise, patience, and dedication were evident every step of the way. My dog, who once had a few behavioral challenges, is now more obedient, confident, and well-mannered. The personalised training approach made all the difference, and it’s clear that the KIP team genuinely cares about the success of both the dog and the owner. Worth every single cent, and I’m beyond thrilled with the results. This has truly been a game changer for my pup and our relationship. Thank you, Meg and team!

Kip South East pet boarding looked after my two Maltese shih tzu and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff was friendly and helpful and took the time to get to know my pets, which made me feel at ease leaving them in their care. They send me daily photos to see how my pets are doing. What stood out to me the most was how affordable the service was without compromising on quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and budget-friendly pet care!

I have an AM staffy x, he had 21days training camp during the Christmas to new year period. He’s much calmer than before. Not been disturbed or aroused by the dogs passing by on the streets. He was happy to return when he had his first follow up session.

Olivia Walford

Our 1 year old German shepherd spent 2 weeks at kip doing the training and board program. He loved it. We were sent photos and videos almost every day and he was always smiling in them. Trainer Alex was amazing and our boy is much calmer and obedient now.

Tathra Di Liberto

Amazing staff and facilities. My boys had an amazing stay. I was kept to to date abiut my 2 puppers, ai was informes if any issues promptly and bya came hime clea and happy.

Valerie Koo

Highly recommend! We signed up our 7 months old goldie (Nugget) for the 21 days Board and Train program and saw significant improvement when we picked him up. We were also given a thorough handover session to ensure continuous training at home is made easy for us. Overall, very satisfied and thanks so much Alex and the Kip team at MSE!

Silvia Ferretti

This one was my very first experience with a Kip or with a similar service, so I was a bit nervous at the beginning. But I couldn’t be more statisfied. I received punctual photos and videos of my doggies every day and they always looked happy. When I went to pick them up they have been washed and looked fresh and happy, not stressed at all - I recommend Kip South East, staff very competent and friendly.

Dylan Ryan

Absolutely fantastic, we had our one year old staffy Mia at the board and train programme and wow the difference afterwards, before training she was so hyper and excited to meet new people and would jump all over everyone and walks were constant lead pulling and getting distracted, when she returned shes performed very well at home over the christmas period especially with 4 new family members staying over shes listened and been well behaved around them and out for walks is just a whole new thing, loose leash and following commands it’s great, 10/10

Our boy Bo has just had his first stay in boarding kennels he’s just 9 months old We can’t thank all the staff for such an amazing experience

Van Vidotto

This was our first time using Kip Kennels, and wow, what an amazing experience! Our dogs usually experience kennel stress for at least three days after returning from other kennels, but not this time. Kip Kennels provided daily photos and playtime, which were absolute winners. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our dogs received. Highly recommend!

Caitlin L

We were worried about Prince doing daycare, as the last time he did at another place, he got super stressed and had to be picked up early. This place was incredible! We did the daycare/training. They said Prince did great and they used treats to reward him being calm. We'll be coming here for every boarding. We got a video and report card for Prince as well!

Jack Lu

Recently had our senior 9 year old Samoyed Meeko at Kips for 2 and a half weeks with trainer Megan. We were provided almost daily updates of her progress as well as a comprehensive handover after picking her up. Her behaviour has improved dramatically and Megan has steered us in the right direction. The training is worth every penny and I highly encourage anyone give it a go if your furry one isn’t the most obedient.

Carmen nguyen

Where do I begin… before Meg and the amazing team at Kip, my banh mi was a big, uncontrollable, strong, very excited puppy! At 7 months she remodeled the house by smashing the doors of their hinges, she broke a whole shelf of cups with her big tail and the list goes on.. Banh Mi boarded at Kip for 3 weeks while we were on holiday and she has come home a different dog! She is soo calm, she listens, I can actually take her on walks instead of being dragged around and the best part is banh mi still has her beautiful bubbly personality!!! Meg and the team are truly a god send! No words can ever express how grateful we are for their love and care for banh mi! THANK YOU!!!
