Servicing Greater Melbourne and Gippsland
Our newly built kennel (2025) is set on a peaceful farm property, designed from the ground up with dogs’ wellbeing in mind. Each dog enjoys spacious accommodations, far beyond industry minimums, so they can relax and stretch out during their stay. We believe dogs deserve more than just a place to sleep—they deserve an environment where they feel secure, stimulated, and loved.

Testimonials
“My experience in dealing with Steve was brilliant. He really knows his stuff. I brought home a puppy that was better trained than my last 3 dogs put together. I can’t thank him enough for the great start to this dog’s life with me and my family.”
“Highly recommend Steve and his team. After being told that no kennel could manage our dog (Maizie) we were worried sick that we could never holiday again!
Steve’s work with Maizie has had a profound effect on her. She’s finally empowered with the ability to walk away from uncomfortable situations and instead of being scared and aggressive she is calm and much more tolerant of strangers. It’s so great to see our beautiful dog at peace and confident.
Thank you Steve, I’m so grateful for your incredible service. We now have many more years of good times left with our beautiful puppy and holidays together with our kids!
Steve service goes above and beyond and worth every penny. ”
“Guys trust me when I say this Steve’s is the best at what he does. My dog was out of control, and we were worried and running out of options, but with Steve’s Training and expertise, it’s like we have a brand new, well behaved pet. Wish Google allowed a 10/10 rating system I’d give him a 10/10. Thank you so much Steve.”
“We are so grateful for Steve, he really helped transformed our rescued dog. Super friendly and very easy to talk to. His love for dogs is contagious. ”
