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.

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

Doris
Greyhound • Lancefield

"Highly recommend Natalie for your crazy pup. Our little greyhound puppy Doris had the best afternoon of her life - little did she know Nat was teaching her the whole time!"

"We were close to the end of our tether when we contacted Natalie to see if she could assist with our young, antisocial JR terrier. Natalie has helped us to better understand the behaviours and motivations of our pups, and how to navigate and manage situations that cause angst for both pups and humans alike. Natalie has worked with us on manageable training tasks to improve behaviours in a range of real-life situations. Our relationships with our pups, and quality of life for all of us, are now much improved. I highly recommend Natalie's approach and philosophy - it's made a positive difference for us."

"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 💜"
