Do you have a Labrador Retriever 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 Retrievers are friendly, outgoing dogs originally bred for retrieving game. They're known for their enthusiasm, love of food, and genuinely happy disposition — but that exuberance can sometimes get them (and their owners) into trouble.
Labrador owners know the joy of a dog that's genuinely thrilled to see everyone and everything. But that same enthusiasm can mean a dog that drags you down the street, steals food off the bench, and bowls over visitors at the front door. If your Lab's zest for life is a bit overwhelming, that's completely normal for the breed — and it's something that responds really well to the right training approach.
Whether your Labrador Retriever 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.

"We have 2 rescue Kelpies with issues. Our first session with Nat has given us some positive, managable activities to put into practice to help us all calm down."
— Sue Hobbs
"We love Natalie. She has this special talent to make dogs feel at ease, and explain behaviours to us humans that make sense. She uses practical suggestions that have helped us manage a now multi-dog household better. We have a bit more training to do but her follow up notes will safely guide us. We highly recommend Natalie and Crazy Kind Calm."

"Natalie has been fantastic with our 2 over exuberant anxious dogs and us their humans, we have just had a third training session and it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks, our dogs 2.5 and 5.5 yrs old are calmer, easier to walk and not barking crazy at everyone that wanders past our fence, it still is a work in progress but Natalie has been an amazing resource and her manner and dealings with us and doggies is wise and professional"
