★★★★★ 5.0 from 67 reviews (Sep 2026)Do you have a Chihuahua 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.
Chihuahuas are tiny dogs with enormous attitudes. They're fiercely loyal to their chosen person, full of sass, and surprisingly brave — but their small size and big personality can create behavioural patterns that are easily reinforced without realising.
Chihuahua owners know their tiny dog runs the show. If your Chihuahua barks at every dog in sight, guards you like a dragon guards treasure, or refuses to walk in the rain, these are incredibly common patterns. Their small size means problem behaviours often get accidentally rewarded — picking them up when they bark, letting them skip walks. With consistent training, even the sassiest Chihuahua can learn to navigate the world with more confidence.
Whether your Chihuahua 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.

"Nat is super generous with her knowledge and her enthusiasm is infectious. She genuinely cares about every dog (and their owners) she teaches. Her training style encourages a trusting bons between dog and human. Highly recommend her puppy school as well as the one to ones."

"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 💜"

"We've seen Nat twice now for our pup for a one-on-one training sessions. We have initially done puppy school elsewhere and these one-on-one sessions with Natalie helped with new challenges (new bub) and refine the skills that we have learnt previously. We also appreciate the very detailed appointment notes sent to us via email after sessions - this helps us keep up with training and refer back to some tips and techniques down the track. Would highly recommend Natalie! :)"
