Do you have a Miniature Fox Terrier 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.
Miniature Fox Terriers are energetic, alert little dogs with classic terrier confidence. They're quick, clever, and surprisingly athletic — packing the determination of a much larger dog into a tiny, fearless package.
Mini Foxie owners know their tiny dog is completely unaware of their size. If yours challenges the neighbour's Rottweiler through the fence, alerts you to every passing leaf, or has turned the backyard into a lizard-hunting ground, that's pure terrier. Their intelligence and energy make them surprisingly responsive to training — they just need someone who takes their training as seriously as they take their job.
Whether your Miniature Fox Terrier 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.

"Natalie was amazing! We took on an ex show dog who was the sibling of our first dog, he came with some complex social behaviours and we have been given some positive training tips to help keep him calm and teach him to trust we will keep him safe. Now I feel like his beautiful personality can shine out of the house, and we have the right tools to support him, keeping me calm in the process! Thanks so much Natalie:)"

"I was really impressed with Natalie's knowledge and experience when she visited our 3 resident dogs at home this morning to advise on the management of a really difficult situation in which one dog is attacking another, with me injured as well, and literally thousands spent on vet bills. The situation has been exacerbated by recent stressors such as moving house and inadequate room, and Natalie gave some important guidance and insights to manage the situation, including where it is likely to go from here (high risk of serious injuries to dogs and humans or a death, which I totally see happening) and what we can do to control and manage the dogs, as I do not wish to euthanise or re-home the stressed-out, attacking dog without trying to work on this. She advised on strategies, equipment and training that will all actually work because it was personalised and done with the doggers present, displaying all their wonderful behaviours. The visit was much better than a phone consult could ever be because Natalie was able to review the house, property and dog pen and suggest points for barriers and ways to provide time out and decompression, including specific types of play to encourage calmness and focus. She also noted behaviours that we didn't see and explained what they meant and what was going on, and how we needed to manage and distract from them. Am really happy with Natalie's services, it was money well spent - but I rather wish I'd sought help for this some time ago before it all escalated to a crisis of serious proportions. I hope that with Natalie's insights, notes and support materials we will be able to develop into a manageable, moderately tolerant 3-dog household. Thank you so much Natalie."

"Gosh I wish I had found Natalie 2 years ago when my little Cavoodle Princess started her problems with barking and anxiety (We had attended puppy school and dog obedience, but no luck in helping these behaviours). Natalie is amazing and I already have a much calmer, happier little fur baby. Not only have our 2 sessions with Natalie been so helpful, but also Natalie sends out written info and videos."
