Teach an old dog some new tricks!
Kip offers an industry recognised Board & Train Program at Kip Homestead Yarra Valley and Kip Melbourne South East (from January 2024) which ensures building a cohesive relationship between you and your dog. The program is designed for those looking for quality and comprehensive dog training in Melbourne, and can help with many challenging behaviours including:
pulling on the leash,
reacting to other dogs,
having selective hearing, and/or
jumping all over you and your guests.
The program encourages you to learn as your pooch learns to enable you both to develop great life-long habits. This includes resources such as an online learning platform to complete, a comprehensive induction and handover 1-on-1 with your assigned trainer and the ability to continue to reach out ongoing for additional support - we are always here when you need us!

Margaret Hill
Meg & all staff at Kip did a fantastic job in training and looking after my beautiful Daisy , I was kept informed with lots of photos and videos of her progress. Highly Recommended.
Sarah Barras
We had our 6 month old energised, divine vizsla in care and train for 12 days whilst overseas. We were very anxious first time users- as always have used in home sitters with our other dogs. Our baby was too risky to leave at home, in case a door or gate wasn’t shut etc as he is very fast and not perfect in his manners yet. He had daily training at Kip, extra cuddles every lunch with staff, walks and enrichment programs. We have been delighted with his performance on his return- his excitement is huge but he can keep 4 feet on the ground, sit, drop, concentrate under distraction. It has been an awesome jump start on his behaviour. We rested knowing he was safe, well fed (regular weigh in) and daily video updates of our goofy boy. Strongly recommend.

I would like to thank kip for looking after my cat while being away. Its always hard to leave my beloved cat, but always know that he is been looked after and loved be this amazing cattery. The staff a friendly and loving. Always receiving pictures and updates always puts my mind at ease. I highly recommend kip as the cat place to be. Thank you so much for looking after Casper, he really enjoys coming and spending time there.
