What is Dog Training?

Dog Training provides a foundation for good behaviour and teaches them how to interact with different challenges. It also provides mental stimulation for your dog, which, when coupled with exercise, will leave your dog mentally and physically enriched at the end of the day.

Obedience training doesn’t have to be stiff and formal - we offer a range of fun and interactive programs that cater to a range of dog and owner needs. From getting started with Puppy Classes, to more intensive 3-week programs, we cater to dogs of all shapes, ages, and sizes.

We Cater to Dogs of All Shapes, Ages, and Sizes

You may have heard that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but all dogs are able to start their training journey regardless of age, and we have programs for all shapes and sizes.

We start with puppy school for families who have just welcomed a new puppy, but we know that training doesn’t stop there. That’s why we have a range of programs to help cater for all kinds of dogs and their needs.

Trained By Our Experienced & Professional Dog Trainers

In today’s society, there are so many methods for training and many trainers that will have conflicting views. So how do you choose the right trainer and dog training program? The answer is that it will depend on your dog! Just like we respond differently to different teachers, your dog will also have a different response to different training methods.

Our trainers are certified, have years of experience under their belts, and have also worked with all kinds of dogs. They have a passion for bettering the lives of our furry friends and are committed to the best care for them too. Our trainers will work to find methods that your dog best responds to and use that to reinforce the training throughout their journey.

Our Dog Training Methods

We know that every dog is unique, and our training programs are customised to meet the needs of your dog and your family. It’s more than a one-off class. It’s about instilling strategies and techniques that work for both you and your dog.

Our experienced behavioural trainers utilise proven methods to teach your dog new skills, improve behaviour, and strengthen the bond between you and your dog. We focus on providing solutions that will help your dog to build new habits and techniques that work for them.

Whether you’ve just welcomed a new puppy, or you’re looking to teach an old dog new tricks (it can be done), Kip offer industry-leading dog training that you can trust.

Puppy School Classes

So you've just welcomed a new fur baby into your family - congratulations! Let's get them started on the right paw to set them up successfully to navigate the big wide world.

During Puppy School, our qualified dog trainers will help you learn the tricks to raise a happy, confident, and obedient dog. We accept puppies up to five months in age and teach basic skills to your new furry friend, such as:

  • Responding under distraction
  • Coming back with called
  • Stopping behaviour problems like jumping, mouthing, chewing, toileting inside and more
  • Interacting with other dogs safely
  • How to settle and be calmer
  • Tricks for mental stimulation (and showing off!)
  • It’s a great intro to the foundations for any puppy and sets them up with good behaviour.

Board & Train Program (3-Week Intensive)

Kip offers an industry-recognised Board & Train Program, ensuring a cohesive relationship between you and your dog, and this popular program is perfect for dogs needing extra help and attention. The Board & Train program is designed for those looking for a boarding service that includes dog training that 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 a 1-on-1 handover with your dedicated trainer.

Canine Coaching

If you have a high-energy dog needing extra stimulation during their boarding stay, you can add Canine Coaching sessions to elevate their day!

Add it to their boarding stay to:

  • Provide basic training to your dog
  • Enrich and stimulate your dog during their boarding stay
  • Multiple coaching sessions on Monday-Friday
  • Choose as many or as little days as you like
  • Regular report cards from your trainer
Canine Coaching

Daycare & Train Program

With our exclusive Daycare & Train Program, you can drop your dog off in the morning and collect them in the afternoon, and provides more focus on training than a regular daycare day.

Throughout the day, our certified trainers will focus on obedience training sessions that will help with behaviours like:

  • Better leash walking
  • Better focus on the person at the end of the leash
  • Door manners
  • Learning how to relax
  • Building motivation

Does Your Dog Currently Display These Behaviours?

Pulls on Lead

One of the biggest challenges pet parents find is that their dog will pull on the lead, and this behaviour can cause a number of injuries in both you and your dog. While there are many different collars and harnesses that try to help mitigate this, why not stop it at the source and get your dog to walk on a loose lead?

It’s one of the most common problems we have and our trainers often work to rectify this behaviour in your dog, helping them focus on what’s on the end of the lead instead, which is you!

Jumping to Greet

You might find that your dog will jump up to greet people, and then our guests will also often give the dog attention. Your dog will see this as a positive sign, reinforcing this behaviour. Unfortunately, not everyone likes dogs jumping on them (who would have guessed!).

By working on stopping this behaviour, our trainers can help to give your dog a different task to do instead of jumping, whether it be sitting, lying down, or going to a certain place (like their bed).

Does not Listen to You or is Disobedient

Your dog not listening or being disobedient doesn’t mean you’re a bad dog owner. In fact, dogs are very simple creatures and react in the moment to better their situation.

All dogs can be taught to listen better with the right help, and this can provide better communication with your dog. After all, how can your dog listen to you if they’re not sure what you’re asking for?

Not only do we work on helping your dog’s behaviour, but understanding the why behind how their brain works also helps you to improve your relationship with your dog.

Excessive or Erratic Barking

While barking is a natural behaviour for dogs, excessive barking can become a nuisance for you, neighbours and your dog. There are many reasons that they may bark excessively, and is generally a sign of underlying issues, and this is how your dog communicates this.

As pet owners, it’s up to us to understand what our dogs are trying to tell us and identify why they’re distressed. Our trainers can also assist in desensitising them from the stimuli causing them to bark, allowing them to remain calm and finding ways to mitigate this behaviour in the future.

Chewing on Furniture or Clothing

Chewing on things in the world around them is natural for dogs, but destructive chewing brings a new level of unwanted behaviours. It’s important to understand what is normal chewing behaviour and what is due to other issues, such as lack of stimulation, stress and frustration, or even separation anxiety.

We can “dog-proof” our homes, but our trainers can also assist our dogs in finding appropriate things to chew and help you understand the benefits of enrichment for your dog. This can lead to less destructive behaviour, which will leave everyone much happier!

Aggressive to other Dogs or People

Aggression is one of the most common and serious behavioural problems in dogs. It’s also the number-one reason why pet parents seek professional help from behaviourists, trainers and veterinarians.

It’s definitely one of the most unwanted behaviours in dogs, and our trainers have plenty of experience helping to minimise this behaviour in dogs. Being able to remain calm when other dogs and people are around is an invaluable skill that your dog would benefit from.

We take our miniature dachshund Frankie to KIP as often as we can make it. She loves it. When we get there she is dizzy with excitement and when we pick her up she is exhausted from play. The staff are very helpful, friendly and supportive. Frankie has become well socialised at KIP and is now comfortable around all breeds.

Guy Campbell

The team at Kip has taken such good care of my very energetic and playful golden retriever. His tail wags each morning he arrives, and he doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. They have also been great at monitoring and managing is behavioural "quirks" (e.g. trying to eat his tail!).

Mac Jones

The staff are really lovely and fantastic with all of the pets. It's so good for my dog Mav to be able to socialise and get plenty of exercise through the day. He really enjoys his time and days at kip

Scott Matheson

This place is paw-fect

Ben Elliot

Great people, take great care of our Corgi. Very happy with Kip!

Mariella Lirosi

The staff here are professional, friendly, helpful and always go the extra mile. Luigi (my labradoodle) and I love this place. It's easy too book and reasonably priced. The staff are truly passionate animal lovers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The two managers are amazing and always helping out with any requirements.

Andrew Burrow

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!

Tamara Swift

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!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🐕💚

Sophie Potts

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!

Maxine Jones

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.

Antz

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.

Tori Darrington

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 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.

Fellicia Stanzah

Very professional and knowledgeable staffs. Attentive to each dogs and help to reward good behaviours. Not just a “daycare”

Cameron Bell

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. The team at Kip Brunswick are absolute legends/gems/superstars. You can see & feel how much these individuals love dogs and love their job. My 2 mini schnauzers, Poppy & Merlin, can sometimes be stand offish with other humans, especially after lock down, however at drop off they are excited to see who is there to collect them for their day ahead. They just get everything right: from the viewing window behind reception, the daily video updates you get and the care and compassion shown by every single team member. I will never look at another daycare option. Thank you to awesome team at Kip Happy Stays Brunswick and for the care you give to my beautiful kids 🐾🐾

Shannon White

Our Border Collie was a little shy at first but she absolutely can’t wait to run into daycare now! The team here are so lovely, attentive and caring with our dog and genuinely care about their experience. We continue to send our dog here every couple of weeks and it’s been great for her social skills and development! She comes home exhausted so it’s also been a life saver on the days we have to work later than expected. Can’t recommend Kip enough!

Incredible place that our dog loves. All of the staff are super friendly, we love hearing how our dog went during the day and the pictures we get sent.

Maree Chiera

My 2 dogs love going to Kip. They have been going for a few months now, and the change in their dog socialisation is amazing. The staff are super friendly and are very knowledgeable with the different breeds. I am sent video clips every visit to see what my furbabies are up to. By the time I pick them up, they are exhausted. Highly recommend.🐾🐾

A C

Our dog was skeptical at first & we were not sure if daycare was for her; but now she absolutely loves it, and so do we! Staff are friendly & professional & communicate well about any issues and good days. We love receiving videos & seeing photos on FB. We also love their Christmas photo shoot.

Rosemary Blight

Hippo loves going to see his friends - people and dogs - at Kip. On arrival, he can't wait to go in, and, at pick up he's happy. The staff organise innovative activities to keep the dogs interested. Kip provides videos and reports about Hippo's day. A friendly and safe environment for dogs with endless opportunities for play and socialisation.

Barry always has a fabulous time at Kip. He's happy when he realises where he is, and sleeps really well after having so much fun. The staff are great too, very friendly and accommodating. Great to know he will be looked after by people who care. I love the photos and video updates too! So great to see him having fun, its very thoughtful to send those updates.

Roksy Boglari-Davykoza

Amazing team, great place for your fur baby to socialise and have fun !

Tom Jackson

we have an exceptionally small dog and i’ve never been worried about how they look after her. would recommend to anyone

Chloe Green

Charlie LOVES daycare! She was driving me a bit crazy at home but now I get 2 days of peace and quiet a week (1 is the day she day she goes and the other is the day after because she is so tired still). I've never seen such a happy little wiggle as when she arrives at KIP. I appreciate the updates and social media pics, as well as the care that the staff seem to take. A very easy 5 out of 5 review from both of us.

Gorjana

our pup, Peppy, loves kip! he is so excited when he realises that we are heading there, has a great time playing with all of his friends and is exhausted the following day!

Michael

My dog loves this place and so do I

Kaye MacKinnon

Thank you for looking after Nala and Dobby as if they were yours! Our energetic kelpies love coming, they are so relaxed and happy to be there. We get updates throughout the day and they always come home exhausted! Can’t fault the people and team from Kip Brunswick! Thanks guys!!!

dave k

The crew at Kip are the best. Have been looking after my 4-year-old dog at least once a week since he was a puppy. They're well staffed, take the time to properly assess your dog, don't overload the facility and provide updates during the day. It's obvious how much everyone who works there loves animals and they're also lovely people to deal with in general. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome doggy daycare option.

Gerry L

Staff are fantastic, facilities are good. Wonderful to be able to see through large windows to dog enclosures. Pinda loves coming to play with so many four legged friends. As soon as the car harness comes out she gets so excited for her day.

Niel Sayson

If you're looking for a top notch day care with a team that cares for your pooch, look no further. The team at Kip are at the top of their game. You'll get constant updates on how your dog is doing throughout the day. An end of day report card will also tell you how they did in detail.

Sonia Sharma

Kip Brunswick is amazing , Nhu has seen my baby grow up from the age of 10+ weeks in puppy school to weekly daycare at the age of over a year old now!

My Frenchie Jaxon has been going to Kip, Brunswick for only a couple of months. The staff are all so amazing and friendly, they really care about your pet and I love the videos during the day that they send you. Jaxon comes home absolutely exhausted so I know he’s had an awesome time! Thank you Kip, Brunswick you all do such an amazing job of caring for Jaxon and all the other dogs everyday🐾💗

Elliot Howard

My dog is very happy there. Staff are very friendly. Ticks the boxes.

Jiuliana McKenzie

Our pooches love Kip and the team, definitely a great day out for them providing a heap of mental stimulation and socialisation. Love that they come home exhausted and content 😍

Isaac Moores

Incredible place that our dog loves. All of the staff are super friendly, we love hearing how our dog went during the day and the pictures we get sent.

Maree Chiera

My 2 dogs love going to Kip. They have been going for a few months now, and the change in their dog socialisation is amazing. The staff are super friendly and are very knowledgeable with the different breeds. I am sent video clips every visit to see what my furbabies are up to. By the time I pick them up, they are exhausted. Highly recommend.🐾🐾

Our dog was skeptical at first & we were not sure if daycare was for her; but now she absolutely loves it, and so do we! Staff are friendly & professional & communicate well about any issues and good days. We love receiving videos & seeing photos on FB. We also love their Christmas photo shoot.

Rosemary Blight

Hippo loves going to see his friends - people and dogs - at Kip. On arrival, he can't wait to go in, and, at pick up he's happy. The staff organise innovative activities to keep the dogs interested. Kip provides videos and reports about Hippo's day. A friendly and safe environment for dogs with endless opportunities for play and socialisation.

Miki McGuinness

Beautiful dog minding centre filled with beautiful dogs and staff.

Karen Vuga

Lovely staff & my gorgeous pet sit charge loves his time with his friends

Barry always has a fabulous time at Kip. He's happy when he realises where he is, and sleeps really well after having so much fun. The staff are great too, very friendly and accommodating. Great to know he will be looked after by people who care. I love the photos and video updates too! So great to see him having fun, its very thoughtful to send those updates.

Amazing team, great place for your fur baby to socialise and have fun !

Tom Jackson

we have an exceptionally small dog and i’ve never been worried about how they look after her. would recommend to anyone

Chloe Green

Charlie LOVES daycare! She was driving me a bit crazy at home but now I get 2 days of peace and quiet a week (1 is the day she day she goes and the other is the day after because she is so tired still). I've never seen such a happy little wiggle as when she arrives at KIP. I appreciate the updates and social media pics, as well as the care that the staff seem to take. A very easy 5 out of 5 review from both of us.

Gorjana

our pup, Peppy, loves kip! he is so excited when he realises that we are heading there, has a great time playing with all of his friends and is exhausted the following day!

Michael

My dog loves this place and so do I

Kaye MacKinnon

Thank you for looking after Nala and Dobby as if they were yours! Our energetic kelpies love coming, they are so relaxed and happy to be there. We get updates throughout the day and they always come home exhausted! Can’t fault the people and team from Kip Brunswick! Thanks guys!!!

The crew at Kip are the best. Have been looking after my 4-year-old dog at least once a week since he was a puppy. They're well staffed, take the time to properly assess your dog, don't overload the facility and provide updates during the day. It's obvious how much everyone who works there loves animals and they're also lovely people to deal with in general. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome doggy daycare option.

Gerry L

Staff are fantastic, facilities are good. Wonderful to be able to see through large windows to dog enclosures. Pinda loves coming to play with so many four legged friends. As soon as the car harness comes out she gets so excited for her day.

Niel Sayson

If you're looking for a top notch day care with a team that cares for your pooch, look no further. The team at Kip are at the top of their game. You'll get constant updates on how your dog is doing throughout the day. An end of day report card will also tell you how they did in detail.

Dog Training FAQ’s

Please ensure that your dog’s vaccinations are all up to date and that our team has sighted a certificate. Other than that, all the tools needed for training will be provided.

Aside from puppies in puppy school (who will need their puppy vaccinations), dogs must have a current C5 (or equivalent vaccination). We are able to train dogs who are not desexed. However, we don't take any dogs in heat for adult training programs. If your dog comes into heat during their stay, they will need to be picked up within 24 hours for the safety of all other dogs.

In puppy school, there are generally around 8 other puppies learning the foundations for the first time.

Our Board & Train program offers 1-on-1 training for each dog and their dedicated trainer. While we may group other dogs to help with desensitisation or learning how to act around other dogs, they will have their own trainer also teaching them.

In puppy school, we allow a maximum of 2 people to attend the training sessions.

For the Board & Train program, we host 1-on-1 handovers to ensure your trainer goes through all the progress made during their stay.

Please inform us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel your dog training session.

Puppies must be younger than 6 months to attend Puppy School.

It will depend on what your dog responds to the best! Every dog is different, and we’ll tailor our methods based on what works best for your dog.

It will depend on your dog and the outcomes you’re hoping to achieve with your dog. Please speak to our certified trainers to discuss the best training plan for you.

Yes, we believe all dogs can be trained, and it’s never too late to start your training journey. Please contact our certified trainers to talk about a tailored training plan for your dog.

Yes, our certified trainers will discuss with you the best plan for your dog as well as the outcomes you hope to achieve. Please contact our trainers to discuss starting your training journey today.
