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

Billy
Jack Russell Terrier • Daylesford

"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 💜"
