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.

"Nat takes so much time to go over concepts and reinforce them, and all with no judgement - she's just that lovely. We always come away from sessions feeling reassured and confident. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone."
— J O'Toole
"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
— Britney Lightbody
"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."
