Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Training

Do you have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 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.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are gentle, graceful dogs bred purely for companionship. They're sweet-natured and adaptable, thriving on human connection — but their sensitive temperament means they need thoughtful handling.

Common Cavalier King Charles Spaniel traits and training needs

  • Prone to separation anxiety — they were bred to be lap dogs and take that job seriously
  • Can be fearful or anxious in new situations, with unfamiliar people, or loud environments
  • Soft temperament that shuts down quickly with firm corrections
  • May develop resource guarding, particularly of their owner's attention
  • Chase instinct can be triggered by small animals, birds, and even butterflies
  • Prone to submissive urination when excited or nervous

Cavalier owners adore their dog's gentle, loving nature — and rightly so. They're the ultimate companion dog who wants nothing more than to be near you. But if your Cavalier panics when you leave, trembles at loud noises, or has become clingy to the point of distress, that's the sensitivity of the breed showing through. They respond beautifully to calm, positive training that builds their confidence gradually.

"Ollie and I had a great time in our four sessions, learning heaps to work on to create the 'perfect' dog. Ollie responded really well to Natalie's approach and I learnt heaps about how to go about his training. Highly recommended!!"

"We have been using Natalie for the past few months to help train our Groodle pup Willow. Natalie is fantastic with very practical and easy to implement tips and tricks. Great value for money and really lovely lady. Willow loves it when Natalie walks in the door and we always leave with small steps to work on between sessions to improve her behaviour in increments (including jumping, barking and bailing up the cat). The improvements to Willows behaviour have been significant. Natalie comes to you for one on one training, which achieves much more in short space than puppy training did for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services."

"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 💜"
