Bull Arab Training

Do you have a Bull Arab 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.

Bull Arabs are large, powerful Australian hunting dogs bred for pig hunting. They're loyal, protective, and athletic — with strong prey drive and considerable physical strength that demands confident, experienced handling.

Common Bull Arab traits and training needs

  • Very strong prey drive — bred to hunt and will chase wildlife and small animals
  • Large and powerful — lead pulling is a major concern without early training
  • Can be dog-reactive, particularly with unfamiliar dogs
  • Naturally protective of family and property — needs clear socialisation
  • Independent and strong-willed — needs confident handling
  • May develop territorial guarding behaviours without proper management

Bull Arab owners have a powerful, loyal dog that was built for serious work. If yours pulls you down the street with ease, sizes up every dog at the park, or has appointed themselves guardian of the property — that's the breed. Their loyalty to their family is absolute, and building on that bond through consistent training produces a remarkable companion.

Bull Arab (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."

"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."
