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

Sammy
Harrier • Castlemaine

"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."

"I began fostering a rescue dog in July 2022 and knew I would need some help with 'Barney'. I found Natalie online and have booked twice now to get help and training with Barney who was initially severely car reactive and pulled excessively on his lead on walks. I love Natalie's approach, methods and her natural ability and skill set which helps owners and their dogs live a happy and calm life. Can't recommend Natalie highly enough!"

"Natalie is an absolute legend! We welcomed two Aussie Shepherd boys from the same litter and had heard plenty about the challenges of raising two brothers. We couldn’t have done it better without her guidance. We truly appreciate her ongoing support and the positive changes we’ve seen."
