Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Training

Do you have a Soft Coated Wheaten 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.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are happy, energetic dogs with a signature bouncy greeting. They're friendlier than many terrier breeds, with a playful, people-loving nature — but they still have that terrier spirit and stubborn streak.

Common Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier traits and training needs

  • The famous 'Wheaten greetin'' — explosive jumping and excitement when meeting people
  • High energy that lasts well past puppyhood and needs daily outlets
  • Terrier stubbornness — may decide training is optional when something more interesting appears
  • Can be reactive to other dogs, especially on lead
  • Pulls on lead with surprising strength for their size
  • Prone to jumping up, which is deeply ingrained and takes patience to manage

Wheaten owners know that the famous 'Wheaten greetin'' is adorable — until your dog launches themselves at every person you meet. If your Wheaten bounces off visitors, pulls you towards every dog and person, or decides that 'sit' only applies when they feel like it — that's the Wheaten spirit in full flight. Their joyful, people-loving nature makes training enjoyable, even if the jumping takes a while to address.

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"
