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

"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"

"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."
