Beagle Training

Do you have a Beagle 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.

Beagles are merry, curious scent hounds bred to track game over long distances. They're friendly, food-driven dogs with an incredible nose — which is both their most endearing quality and the root of most training challenges.

Common Beagle traits and training needs

  • Nose-driven — once they pick up a scent, the world stops and recall becomes non-existent
  • Extremely food-motivated, which can lead to counter-surfing, bin-raiding, and scavenging
  • Prone to baying and howling, especially when left alone or when they've found something interesting
  • Can be stubborn about following commands when there are better things to smell
  • Separation anxiety and vocalisation when left alone is very common
  • Pulls on lead following scents and can be difficult to walk past interesting smells

Beagle owners know the struggle of competing with their dog's nose. If your Beagle vanishes nose-first into every hedge, howls when you leave, or has perfected the art of counter-surfing, you're living the authentic Beagle experience. Their food drive is actually your secret weapon in training — a Beagle will do almost anything for the right treat. The trick is making yourself more interesting than whatever they're smelling.

Beagle (and others) Success Stories

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 💜"

"Natalie was very professional and a lovely person to deal with. My 10 month old Lowchen was very responsive to her commands. I was very impressed with the training notes she sent the next day too. I would recommend Crazy Kind Calm . Jenny Ryan"

"We've seen Nat twice now for our pup for a one-on-one training sessions. We have initially done puppy school elsewhere and these one-on-one sessions with Natalie helped with new challenges (new bub) and refine the skills that we have learnt previously. We also appreciate the very detailed appointment notes sent to us via email after sessions - this helps us keep up with training and refer back to some tips and techniques down the track. Would highly recommend Natalie! :)"
