Pharaoh Hound Training

Do you have a Pharaoh Hound 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.

Pharaoh Hounds are elegant, ancient sighthounds known for their unique ability to blush. They're gentle, affectionate, and playful — but their strong prey drive and sensitive nature require understanding and patience.

Common Pharaoh Hound traits and training needs

• Extreme prey drive — will chase anything that runs, with very little regard for recall
• Sensitive and can be anxious in new environments or around loud noises
• Prone to alert barking at movement and sounds
• Independent nature — sighthound stubbornness means they train on their terms
• Can be reserved with strangers while being affectionate with family
• Needs careful management around small animals and cats

Pharaoh Hound owners appreciate their dog's graceful, gentle nature — and their famous blush. If yours has zero recall when a rabbit appears, barks at every movement outside, or takes weeks to warm up to new people, that's the ancient sighthound coming through. Their sensitive, affectionate nature makes them respond beautifully to patient, positive training.
