★★★★★ 5.0 from 67 reviews (Sep 2026)Do you have a Samoyed 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.
Samoyeds are beautiful, friendly dogs bred for herding and pulling sleds in Siberia. They're known for their permanent 'Sammy smile,' fluffy white coats, and sociable nature — but their working heritage means they have more energy and stubbornness than their cuddly appearance suggests.
Samoyed owners love that perpetual smile and fluffy cloud appearance. If your Samoyed pulls on the lead like they're still hauling a sled, vocalises their opinions on everything, or has redecorated your garden with strategic digging — that's the working breed underneath the fluff. Their friendly, sociable nature makes them responsive to training that's fun and engaging.
Whether your Samoyed 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.

"I love Nat's energy and passion for her job! It's contagious and you can really see how much she wants you and your pet to succeed. Nat is very approachable and supplies notes after sessions to help keep you on track. I would recommend you contact her if you are stressing out and needing help with your dogs challenging behaviours!"

"Nat is an absolute magician with the dogs!! She gave us so many practical tools and a framework to teach and understand the dogs. Completely amazed by Nat's technique and generosity of sharing the wisdom! Couldn't recommend more highly"

"Nat knows her stuff and explains it in clear and really easily adoptable instructions. She has helped immensely with our pup who has a bit of anxiety around socialisation so that now we can walk calmly and it's great to have her at the end of emails to answer anything that comes up. Highly recommend Nat's approach, it's made a world of difference!"
