★★★★★ 5.0 from 74 reviews (Oct 2026)Do you have a American Bulldog that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!
With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.
American Bulldogs are powerful, athletic dogs originally bred for farm work and guarding. They're confident, loyal, and protective of their family — with a strength and determination that requires experienced handling.
American Bulldog owners know they have a serious dog who takes their family's security personally. If your American Bulldog assesses every stranger, pulls you down the street, or has decided that other dogs need to keep their distance, that's the breed's natural confidence at work. Their loyalty and desire to work with their handler makes them very responsive to training that builds on mutual respect.
Whether your American Bulldog is a new puppy or an older dog with some habits to work on, we've got options to suit.
Personalised sessions in your home, where the challenges actually happen. We work together on your specific goals — whether it's pulling on lead, barking, poor recall, jumping up, or something else entirely.

"Nat was amazing, she made time to come to our home to see our new puppy. She provided us with really good techniques to use with our puppy. I would highly recommend Nat, we will be sure to have Nat come again if we need more positive behaviour strategies. Thanks Nat"

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"

"We would like to thanks Natalie for her assistance with our new rescue dog Ted. Natalie was on the ball the moment she walked in and her knowledge of dog behavior was very obvious & of great value. Natalie has left us with some great tools to help relieve the stress poor Ted is going through during this adjustment period Gary & Paula"
