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.

"From the beginning, Nat showed she was highly professional and dedicated to helping our family. Her drills, training ideas and positive approach to dog training had an immediate effect on our puppy and our family. We highly recommend Nat to help you with your dog training needs."

"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!"

"Nat knows her stuff and explains it in clear and really easily adoptable instructions. She has helped immensely with our pup who has a bit of anxiety around socialisation so that now we can walk calmly and it's great to have her at the end of emails to answer anything that comes up. Highly recommend Nat's approach, it's made a world of difference!"
