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.

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 were close to the end of our tether when we contacted Natalie to see if she could assist with our young, antisocial JR terrier. Natalie has helped us to better understand the behaviours and motivations of our pups, and how to navigate and manage situations that cause angst for both pups and humans alike. Natalie has worked with us on manageable training tasks to improve behaviours in a range of real-life situations. Our relationships with our pups, and quality of life for all of us, are now much improved. I highly recommend Natalie's approach and philosophy - it's made a positive difference for us."
