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.

"Our first session done and very impressed, my 2, 5 year old fur babies have lots to learn but I think Natalie is on the money with her plan. Michel"

"Crazy Kind Calm Dog Training have helped us and our puppy progress in leaps and bounds. He has become more responsive and confident. The program is designed to meet the individual needs of our family and the environment our puppy lives in. The notes provided afterwards, enables us to practice our learnings between sessions. Would recommend Nat to anyone looking to bring a dog into the family."

"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 💜"
