Bordoodle Training

Do you have a Bordoodle 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.

Bordoodles (Border Collie × Poodle) are exceptionally intelligent dogs who inherit brains from both parent breeds. They're energetic, trainable, and often more intense than their fluffy appearance suggests — think Border Collie drive in a Poodle coat.

Common Bordoodle traits and training needs

• Very high intelligence that needs constant mental stimulation — boredom leads to trouble
• Can inherit herding instinct from the Border Collie side — may try to herd or control movement
• High energy that needs daily vigorous exercise and enrichment activities
• May become anxious or develop obsessive behaviours without enough to do
• Can be vocal — alert barking and demand barking are common
• Sensitive to household tension and changes in routine

Bordoodle owners quickly discover they have one of the cleverest dogs in the park. That intelligence is a gift, but it also means your Bordoodle needs their brain exercised as much as their body. If yours is inventing games, herding the household, or developing weird habits out of boredom, that's the Border Collie brain working overtime. With the right outlets and training, Bordoodles are incredibly rewarding companions.
