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.

"Nat was fabulous with our anxious rescue border collie. We learnt a lot and our training notes have given us recommendations for us to work on in between visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nat!"

"Natalie has been working with us and our little one for a while now and we cannot thank her enough for her knowledge and effort. She’s a wonderful trainer, with a very positive philosophy and we are so pleased with the progress we have seen within our Sadie."
— James Hibbert
"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! :)"
