Maremma x St. Poodle Training

Do you have a Maremma x St. Poodle 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.

Maremma × Standard Poodle crosses are large, intelligent dogs that blend the Maremma's guardian instinct with the Poodle's sharp mind. The result is often a clever, watchful dog who bonds closely with family but can be independent.

Common Maremma x St. Poodle traits and training needs

  • Guardian instinct from the Maremma side — may bark at perceived threats and be wary of strangers
  • Intelligent from the Poodle side — needs mental stimulation or will find their own projects
  • Large and strong — early lead training is essential before they reach full size
  • Can be independent and make their own decisions rather than waiting for direction
  • May develop barking habits, especially at night or when unfamiliar people approach
  • Can be dog-reactive, particularly with unfamiliar dogs entering their perceived territory

Maremma × Poodle owners have a unique combination of brains and guardian instinct. If yours patrols the house, assesses every visitor, or has a bark that carries across the neighbourhood — that's the Maremma guardian meeting the Poodle's alertness. Their intelligence makes them capable learners, they just need guidance that works with their independent, watchful nature.

"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!"

"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."
