Labrador x Poodle (Med) Training

Do you have a Labrador x Poodle (Med) 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.

Medium Labradoodles (Labrador × Medium Poodle) are mid-sized dogs that combine the Labrador's friendly nature with the Poodle's intelligence. They're often chosen for their manageable size, but they still pack plenty of energy and personality.

Common Labrador x Poodle (Med) traits and training needs

  • More energetic than their medium size suggests — Poodle intelligence needs outlets
  • Can be mouthy and jumpy, especially during greetings and play
  • Intelligent enough to learn quickly, but also to learn how to push boundaries
  • Pulls on lead and becomes frustrated when restrained from greeting other dogs
  • May develop anxious behaviours when left alone or under-stimulated
  • Social dogs who can become over-aroused around other dogs

Medium Labradoodle owners often find they have more dog than their mid-size frame suggests. If yours can't settle at the cafe, gets over-excited at every dog they see, or has learned to open cupboards — that's the Lab-Poodle brain at work. Their friendly, willing nature makes training a pleasure. They just need you to stay one step ahead of their clever problem-solving mind.

Labrador x Poodle (Med) (and others) Success Stories

Daisy
Papillon X Jack Russell • Malmsbury

"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"
