I can't recommend Country Pine Kennels & Cattery in Longford highly enough. I boarded my 5-year-old Maremma for their two-week board-and-train program, and, as an anxious, under-socialised dog, he's always been a tough one to win over. Kevin, Lee and Shaun were patient, calm and genuinely knowledgeable — exactly what a fearful guardian breed needs. They took the time to let him warm up on his own terms rather than rushing him, and we've come home and made real progress, including with visitors he previously struggled with.
The facility itself is beautiful — set on acres of country in the Gippsland region, with secure play areas and clean, comfortable kennels. Being family-run and living on-site, you can tell they truly care about every dog as if it were their own. The departure lesson at pickup gave me practical tools to keep the training going at home, which has made all the difference.
If you're nervous about boarding an anxious dog or looking for dog training that actually understands difficult breeds, this is the place. Thank you, team, at Country Pine Kennels!

We couldn’t be happier with the results! Khaleesi is so much more well-behaved, listens better, and our walks are now truly a joy. The training has made such a wonderful difference to her confidence and overall behaviour.
The team clearly cares deeply about our dogs. We’re so grateful for all their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional dog training! Thank you very much much, Country Pine Team!

Country Pine Kennels is Reggie’s 2nd family and home. For over two years Reggie has been a regular boarder for both long and short periods, always attending puppy day care during his little holidays. He is a regular at the wonderful , imaginative and fun filled parties held for the dogs. He has been on the nature and beach walks offered. The professionalism provided by everyone at CPK is outstanding and I have absolute trust in everything about Reggie’s care while he is there.
He is always very excited when we drive into the front entrance, seeing all the other dogs and knowing there are going to be lots of fun adventures planned and never just being in a dog pen. Thankyou Country Pine Kennels .

We always board our dog, Sandy, here. She has a fabulous time, loves the staff and gets to socialise with other dogs, she attends the doggy day care, and always has a wonderful time. She rushes in when we arrive no problems no fuss, no worry. Lee and the staff understand each dogs needs and go out of their way to make them happy, we couldn’t be happier
