Do you have a Cattle Dog X 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.
Cattle Dog crosses carry the Australian Cattle Dog's energy, loyalty, and working drive, blended with another breed's characteristics. The Cattle Dog's intensity typically shows through strongly — these are driven dogs that need purpose.
Cattle Dog cross owners learn quickly that the Cattle Dog drive doesn't dilute easily. If yours is full of energy, nips when excited, or treats strangers with suspicion — the Cattle Dog genes are doing their thing. Their intelligence and work ethic make them fantastic training partners when given enough physical and mental outlets to work with.
Whether your Cattle Dog X 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.

"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."

"Our first session done and very impressed, my 2, 5 year old fur babies have lots to learn but I think Natalie is on the money with her plan. Michel"

"I began fostering a rescue dog in July 2022 and knew I would need some help with 'Barney'. I found Natalie online and have booked twice now to get help and training with Barney who was initially severely car reactive and pulled excessively on his lead on walks. I love Natalie's approach, methods and her natural ability and skill set which helps owners and their dogs live a happy and calm life. Can't recommend Natalie highly enough!"
