About Us

Four Way Kennels & Canine Wellness Centre began its life in October 2002 when it won the New Business of the Year award & thanks to founding owners Steve & Leonie Driver’s business acumen, it has developed into one of the Bundaberg region’s premier dog boarding facilities.


Over its +20-year life, FWK has left its mark with its beautifully manicured gardens, meticulous cleanliness & hygiene and excellent customer rapport which has resulted in a strongly loyal local customer base. Twenty years after being founded, Steve & Leonie kindly handed over ownership of FWK to new owners Melissa & Warrick Boyle who migrated from near Ballarat in Victoria in October 2022. Melissa & Warrick’s profiles are available below. “I immediately saw the significant potential Four Way Kennels presented” Warrick said after paying the facility two quick-fire visits back in 2022. “It was too good an opportunity to pass up. In the two years we’ve had the facility we’ve used so many of our previously developed skill-sets to create what we call Four Way Kennels 2.0” Melissa outlines.


Using their significant project management experience, the following projects & facility upgrades have resulted –


  • Kennel Epoxy Flooring & Painting upgrade.
  • 6 Bay External Kennel run upgrade.
  • Hydrotherapy Facility - Underwater Treadmill system & Swim Spa system and Qualified Hydrotherapist.
  • Kennel Lighting system upgrade.
  • Computer System upgrade.
  • Indoor Kennel Mesh upgrade.
  • Footpaths implemented.
  • Reception area upgrade.
  • Indoor Kennel Sound system implementation.
  • Website upgrade.
  • Landscaping & Bonsai garden.
  • Laundry service implementation.


Melissa & Warrick have found it richly rewarding to see the benefits that the implementation of these projects have provided to their clientele, and with such positive responses, they have committed to continue to invest heavily into the facility to continually upgrade the business as they recognise that it is an important community service.


At FWK, we encourage you to do your homework. Make sure you understand your options by making the effort to visit available boarding facilities yourselves in person. We pride ourselves on the appearance of our facilities and our warm, hospitable and down to earth open-door approach which puts our clients at ease. Our opening hours are amongst the most generous going around so please feel free to drop in for a facility tour at any time.

Our Team

The ongoing success of Four Way Kennels & Canine Wellness Centre can be directly attributed to its personnel.


The professional profiles of the FWK staff listed below reveal an extremely diverse spectrum of skills that are allowing FWK 2.0 to come into being.

Melissa & Warrick Boyle 

Having a diverse set of commercial industry experience & university level certifications along with a deep understanding of a broad spectrum of animal species has allowed Melissa & Warrick to hit the ground running as the new owners of Four Way Kennels. 


Customer service comes naturally to Melissa after more than a decade of business administration & front-line customer-based roles as it does to Warrick after +20 years in senior management in various manufacturing sectors and running businesses of his own.


In particular, their experience as a ANKC certified breeder of Tibetan Mastiffs has stood them in good stead during the transition to kennel owners.


“Owning a kennel business was a natural progression for us post the end of our TM breeding & after decades of running businesses for others. We have learnt plenty about what to do as well as what not to do & we thought it was time we started doing it for ourselves in our own way. The feedback we’re getting is very positive and well received & we are driven to pursue this course.”
