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

★★★★★ Google
"We have been using Natalie for the past few months to help train our Groodle pup Willow. Natalie is fantastic with very practical and easy to implement tips and tricks. Great value for money and really lovely lady. Willow loves it when Natalie walks in the door and we always leave with small steps to work on between sessions to improve her behaviour in increments (including jumping, barking and bailing up the cat). The improvements to Willows behaviour have been significant. Natalie comes to you for one on one training, which achieves much more in short space than puppy training did for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services."
