Labrador x Poodle (Std) Training

Do you have a Labrador x Poodle (Std) 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.

Standard Labradoodles (Labrador × Standard Poodle) are larger, more athletic dogs than many people expect. They combine the Labrador's friendly enthusiasm with the Standard Poodle's intelligence and sensitivity — producing a big, clever, energetic companion.

Common Labrador x Poodle (Std) traits and training needs

  • Larger and more energetic than expected — Standard Poodle genes add height and athleticism
  • Can be jumpy, mouthy, and over-excited, especially during greetings
  • Intelligent and sensitive — can develop anxiety if not given enough mental stimulation
  • Pulls on lead due to size, strength, and enthusiasm about everything
  • May become frustrated or reactive when restrained from greeting other dogs
  • Can develop separation anxiety due to strong attachment to family

Standard Labradoodle owners often discover they have a bigger, more energetic dog than they bargained for. If yours bounces off the walls before walks, pulls you towards every dog at the park, or can't settle in cafes, that's standard for a Standard Labradoodle. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them responsive learners — they just need their energy addressed first.

"Natalie was fabulous with my dogs! I have a very anxious Frenchie who I wasn't even sure could be trained. Nat took her time slowly teaching her (and me) steps to achieve our goals. The understanding/care she shows both animals and humans is fabulous! Thanks Nat 🙂🐶"

"I got in touch with Natalie to ask for advice about an issue with my dog and she was so helpful, considerate and generous with her time. I’m very grateful to her and really appreciate her and her approach."

"Nat was excellent. I felt she understood my puppy and me immediately. She is clearly very knowledgeable and left me with a very different approach to helping my anxious boy. She was kind towards both my puppy and me and I was confident she understood and cared about dogs - I have had different experiences with other trainers. After our session and the follow up email I have a lot of different tools to use to work with my boy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help giving a dog its best life. Thanks Nat."
