★★★★★ 5.0 from 74 reviews (Oct 2026)Do you have a Jack Russell Terrier X 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.
Jack Russell Terrier crosses carry the JRT's enormous personality and terrier drive, blended with another breed. The Jack Russell's boldness, energy, and prey drive typically come through strongly — even in crosses.
JRT cross owners know the terrier genes are dominant. If yours has the energy of a much bigger dog, barks at everything, chases every lizard, and thinks they're the toughest dog at the park — that's the Jack Russell influence. Their intelligence and enthusiasm make them surprisingly good training candidates when you find what drives them.
Whether your Jack Russell Terrier X 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’ve had Natalie come and help get our young red heeler off to the right start after adopting her. Natalie has been amazing helping us to understand and train the most important skills, including impulse control around chickens, sheep and kangaroos, and outlets for our dog’s herding instinct through play. Natalie uses positive reinforcement to motivate and teach the right behaviours and has a deep understanding of the needs of different dog breeds. We also did her puppy school classes and recommend her as an excellent and practical trainer!"

"Natalie is fabulous . have done several sessions with our newly arrived labrador puppy and we have learnt so so much. Natalie also follows up with notes that recap and explain what we learnt in that session. Have gone on to book another block of five training sessions thankyou Natalie! We appreciate your expertise and your kind calm approach with our sometimes crazy pup!"

"Natalie was great and gave us all the tools we need to continue training at home. A lot was packed into the training session and we got a lot out of it. The detailed follow up class notes are also fantastic. Would highly recommend Crazy Kind Calm Dog Training"
