★★★★★ 5.0 from 67 reviews (Sep 2026)Do you have a Greyhound 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.
Greyhounds are gentle, elegant sighthounds built for incredible speed. Many in Australia come from racing backgrounds, making the transition to family life a unique journey. They're affectionate couch lovers who can turn into 65km/h athletes in a heartbeat.
Greyhound owners love the contrast — 45 kilos of couch potato who can become a speeding bullet the moment a rabbit appears. If your Greyhound is nervous about household items, can't be trusted off lead near small animals, or sleeps 20 hours a day, that's perfectly normal. They're gentle, sensitive dogs who bloom with patient handling. The transition from track to couch takes time, but the result is one of the most rewarding companions you'll find.
Whether your Greyhound 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.

"Highly recommend Natalie for your crazy pup. Our little greyhound puppy Doris had the best afternoon of her life - little did she know Nat was teaching her the whole time!"

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"
