Australian Bulldog Training

Do you have a Australian 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.

Australian Bulldogs are a purpose-bred companion version of the Bulldog, designed to be healthier and more active in Australia's climate. They're loyal, calm, and people-oriented — with less of the breathing issues but the same Bulldog stubbornness.

Common Australian Bulldog traits and training needs

  • Stubborn and strong-willed — can dig their heels in during training
  • Can be reactive to other dogs, especially on lead
  • Prone to resource guarding over food, toys, and sleeping areas
  • Heat sensitivity means exercise needs careful management in warmer weather
  • Strong and stocky — pulling on lead is a common challenge
  • Can develop separation anxiety due to strong attachment to family

Australian Bulldog owners appreciate their dog's calm, loyal nature. If yours plants themselves on the couch and gives you 'that look' when asked to move, guards their food bowl seriously, or becomes a different dog on lead around other dogs — that's classic Bulldog temperament. Their food motivation and desire to be near you makes them trainable, you just need patience with the stubborn moments.

Australian Bulldog (and others) Success Stories

Bulldog (Johnson) • Castlemaine

"Natalie has been fantastic with our 2 over exuberant anxious dogs and us their humans, we have just had a third training session and it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks, our dogs 2.5 and 5.5 yrs old are calmer, easier to walk and not barking crazy at everyone that wanders past our fence, it still is a work in progress but Natalie has been an amazing resource and her manner and dealings with us and doggies is wise and professional"

"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
