★★★★★ 5.0 from 74 reviews (Oct 2026)Do you have a Dobermann 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.
Dobermanns are sleek, powerful dogs bred for personal protection. They're highly intelligent, athletic, and deeply loyal — forming an intense bond with their handler that makes them both wonderful companions and dogs that need experienced, confident guidance.
Dobermann owners know they have a deeply loyal dog who takes their role as protector seriously. If your Dobermann positions themselves between you and strangers, becomes anxious when you leave, or is reactive on walks, that protective instinct is working overtime. Despite their confident exterior, Dobermanns are surprisingly sensitive dogs who respond best to calm, consistent training that builds mutual trust.
Whether your Dobermann 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’ve had Natalie come and help get our young red heeler off to the right start after adopting her. Natalie has been amazing helping us to understand and train the most important skills, including impulse control around chickens, sheep and kangaroos, and outlets for our dog’s herding instinct through play. Natalie uses positive reinforcement to motivate and teach the right behaviours and has a deep understanding of the needs of different dog breeds. We also did her puppy school classes and recommend her as an excellent and practical trainer!"

"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."

"Natalie was fabulous with my dogs! I have a very anxious Frenchie who I wasn't even sure could be trained. Nat took her time slowly teaching her (and me) steps to achieve our goals. The understanding/care she shows both animals and humans is fabulous! Thanks Nat 🙂🐶"
