Do you have a Kelpie x Whippet 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.
Kelpie × Whippet crosses produce lean, athletic dogs with incredible speed and the Kelpie's intense drive. They're often fast, smart, and sensitive — combining the sighthound's prey drive with the Kelpie's herding instinct.
Kelpie × Whippet owners have one of the fastest, most driven dogs at the park. If yours runs like the wind, chases every moving thing, and has a sensitive side that surprises you — that's both breeds in one package. Their intelligence and sensitivity make them very responsive to calm, patient training. They just need plenty of exercise to take the edge off first.
Whether your Kelpie x Whippet 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.

"I got in touch with Natalie to ask for advice about an issue with my dog and she was so helpful, considerate and generous with her time. I’m very grateful to her and really appreciate her and her approach."

"We adopted a rescue dog and whilst she is very cute we knew from the onset that she would need work which is why we went to Natalie. Through the session we were able to work on some strategies to help improve behaviour and remove the anxiety out of interacting with other people/animals whilst out and about. It's been approximately a month now since our session and we can see a noticeable difference in behaviour and we continue to see improvements on a daily basis. My biggest learning was to be realistic about the experience. Things will get better in very slow, little increments. Be diligent and temper your expectations. I keep reminding myself of this and it has really changed the relationship I have with our dog. I'm excited to see her develop even further into the dog I know she can be - all thanks to 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"
