Golden Retriever x Labrador Training

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.

Common Golden Retriever x Labrador traits and training needs

  • High energy and enthusiasm, especially during the extended puppy phase
  • Mouthy breed — loves to carry, chew, and mouth things, including hands
  • Pulls strongly on lead due to size, strength, and excitement about everything
  • Very food-driven — counter-surfing and scavenging come naturally
  • Overly friendly greetings — jumping up on every person they meet
  • Can be slow to mature, maintaining puppy-like behaviour well into adulthood

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.

Golden Retriever x Labrador (and others) Success Stories

"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 just had a family/dog training session with our dog Ollie. Not only is Nat most excellent in imparting heaps of very useful and ace knowledge about our dog, I am most stocked about how she managed to teach (or shall I say train) our kids to train the dog :) - Now that we all got taught how to best train our doggo, we can tackle it together and it's not just a "parent's" job. Thanks heaps Nat x"
