★★★★★ 5.0 from 67 reviews (Sep 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.

"I love Nat's energy and passion for her job! It's contagious and you can really see how much she wants you and your pet to succeed. Nat is very approachable and supplies notes after sessions to help keep you on track. I would recommend you contact her if you are stressing out and needing help with your dogs challenging behaviours!"

"We love Natalie. She has this special talent to make dogs feel at ease, and explain behaviours to us humans that make sense. She uses practical suggestions that have helped us manage a now multi-dog household better. We have a bit more training to do but her follow up notes will safely guide us. We highly recommend Natalie and Crazy Kind Calm."

"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."
