Do you have a Mastiff X 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.
Mastiff crosses inherit the Mastiff's impressive size and calm temperament, often blended with traits from another breed. Despite their intimidating appearance, most Mastiff crosses are gentle giants — but their sheer size means even minor behavioural issues become significant.
Mastiff cross owners know that a "minor" pulling issue becomes a major one when your dog outweighs you. If your Mastiff cross has decided that they set the pace on walks, that the couch is non-negotiable, or that strangers need to be assessed before entering the house — that's the Mastiff temperament at work. Their calm nature actually makes them very trainable, they just need guidance that accounts for their size.
Whether your Mastiff X is a new puppy or an older dog with some habits to work on, we've got options to suit.
Personalised sessions in your home, where the challenges actually happen. We work together on your specific goals — whether it's pulling on lead, barking, poor recall, jumping up, or something else entirely.

"We have 2 rescue Kelpies with issues. Our first session with Nat has given us some positive, managable activities to put into practice to help us all calm down."
— Sue Hobbs
"Natalie was very patient and kind with our 5 month old pup. She has a wealth of knowledge and calming nature. I look forward to putting these training methods into place."
— Michelle Wearne
"Natalie has helped us with our rescue puppy Daisy, who was extremely anxious and scared of people and dogs, and acting out in other ways. We called Natalie when we were at the end of our tethers, after two months with Daisy, and after the first session we felt both empowered and reassured. Natalie's extensive notes after our session were also very helpful, to refer to as we were working through the recommendations. During her second visit, a month later, Natalie addressed specific issues that we are still having, and she also noted significant improvements in Daisy's confidence. It is wonderful to be supported by someone with such extensive knowledge and love for dogs. I highly recommend her services."
