Do you have a Golden Retriever x Labrador 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.
Golden Retriever × Labrador crosses combine two of the world's most popular retrievers. The result is typically a friendly, enthusiastic, food-loving dog with a big heart and even bigger energy levels — the best of both retrieving worlds.
Golden × Lab owners have double the retriever enthusiasm to manage. If your dog greets every person as their new best friend, steals food from any surface, and drags you towards the nearest body of water — that's pure retriever on both sides. Their eagerness to please and food motivation make them wonderfully trainable, you just need to channel all that enthusiasm in the right direction.
Whether your Golden Retriever x Labrador 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 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."

"Natalie was amazing! We took on an ex show dog who was the sibling of our first dog, he came with some complex social behaviours and we have been given some positive training tips to help keep him calm and teach him to trust we will keep him safe. Now I feel like his beautiful personality can shine out of the house, and we have the right tools to support him, keeping me calm in the process! Thanks so much Natalie:)"

"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."
