★★★★★ 5.0 from 74 reviews (Oct 2026)Do you have a Boston Terrier 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.
Boston Terriers are compact, tuxedo-wearing charmers with a lively, affectionate nature. Known as the 'American Gentleman,' they're intelligent and adaptable — but their terrier roots and flat faces create some specific challenges.
Boston Terrier owners love their little dog's tuxedo charm and big personality. If your Boston goes from zero to chaos when the doorbell rings, guards their toys with terrier determination, or struggles in the heat — that's the breed. Their intelligence and desire to be the centre of attention actually works in your favour during training. They learn quickly when the reward is your approval.
Whether your Boston Terrier is a new puppy or an older dog with some habits to work on, we've got options to suit.
Personalised sessions in your home, where the challenges actually happen. We work together on your specific goals — whether it's pulling on lead, barking, poor recall, jumping up, or something else entirely.

"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"

"I was really impressed with Natalie's knowledge and experience when she visited our 3 resident dogs at home this morning to advise on the management of a really difficult situation in which one dog is attacking another, with me injured as well, and literally thousands spent on vet bills. The situation has been exacerbated by recent stressors such as moving house and inadequate room, and Natalie gave some important guidance and insights to manage the situation, including where it is likely to go from here (high risk of serious injuries to dogs and humans or a death, which I totally see happening) and what we can do to control and manage the dogs, as I do not wish to euthanise or re-home the stressed-out, attacking dog without trying to work on this. She advised on strategies, equipment and training that will all actually work because it was personalised and done with the doggers present, displaying all their wonderful behaviours. The visit was much better than a phone consult could ever be because Natalie was able to review the house, property and dog pen and suggest points for barriers and ways to provide time out and decompression, including specific types of play to encourage calmness and focus. She also noted behaviours that we didn't see and explained what they meant and what was going on, and how we needed to manage and distract from them. Am really happy with Natalie's services, it was money well spent - but I rather wish I'd sought help for this some time ago before it all escalated to a crisis of serious proportions. I hope that with Natalie's insights, notes and support materials we will be able to develop into a manageable, moderately tolerant 3-dog household. Thank you so much Natalie."

"Nat is a kind, caring trainer with a wealth of knowledge who readily imparts solutions in dog training. She has successfully guided us in calming our two year old Rottweiller and focusing her energy. Nat's follow ups and subsequent sessions have been highly beneficial in our pup's training. We highly recommend Nat for puppy training and behaviour adjustment in a positive and calm manner."
