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.

The program is designed to meet the individual needs of our family and the environment our puppy lives in. The notes provided afterwards, enables us to practice our learnings between sessions. Would recommend Nat to anyone looking to bring a dog into the family."

"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."

"We love Natalie. She has this special talent to make dogs feel at ease, and explain behaviours to us humans that make sense. She uses practical suggestions that have helped us manage a now multi-dog household better. We have a bit more training to do but her follow up notes will safely guide us. We highly recommend Natalie and Crazy Kind Calm."
