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

★★★★★ Google
"We adopted a rescue dog and whilst she is very cute we knew from the onset that she would need work which is why we went to Natalie. Through the session we were able to work on some strategies to help improve behaviour and remove the anxiety out of interacting with other people/animals whilst out and about. It's been approximately a month now since our session and we can see a noticeable difference in behaviour and we continue to see improvements on a daily basis. My biggest learning was to be realistic about the experience. Things will get better in very slow, little increments. Be diligent and temper your expectations. I keep reminding myself of this and it has really changed the relationship I have with our dog. I'm excited to see her develop even further into the dog I know she can be - all thanks to Natalie."

"Nat is super generous with her knowledge and her enthusiasm is infectious. She genuinely cares about every dog (and their owners) she teaches. Her training style encourages a trusting bons between dog and human. Highly recommend her puppy school as well as the one to ones."
