Do you have a Lab x Kelpie 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.
Labrador × Kelpie crosses blend the Lab's friendly enthusiasm with the Kelpie's drive and intelligence. The result is typically an energetic, food-motivated dog who's social and clever — with more intensity than a pure Lab.
Lab × Kelpie owners have a dog that combines the Lab's love of everything with the Kelpie's relentless energy. If yours steals food with Lab-level shamelessness, then runs Kelpie-level laps of the yard — that's both breeds in one package. Their food motivation and intelligence make them very responsive to training, they just need enough exercise to be able to focus.
Whether your Lab x Kelpie 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.

"Natalie was very patient and kind with our 5 month old pup. She has a wealth of knowledge and calming nature. I look forward to putting these training methods into place."

"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"

"Nat was fabulous with our anxious rescue border collie. We learnt a lot and our training notes have given us recommendations for us to work on in between visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nat!"
