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.
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.
Whether your Soft Coated Wheaten 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.

"We adopted a rescue dog and whilst she is very cute we knew from the onset that she would need work which is why we went to Natalie. Through the session we were able to work on some strategies to help improve behaviour and remove the anxiety out of interacting with other people/animals whilst out and about. It's been approximately a month now since our session and we can see a noticeable difference in behaviour and we continue to see improvements on a daily basis. My biggest learning was to be realistic about the experience. Things will get better in very slow, little increments. Be diligent and temper your expectations. I keep reminding myself of this and it has really changed the relationship I have with our dog. I'm excited to see her develop even further into the dog I know she can be - all thanks to Natalie."

"Nat was fabulous with our anxious rescue border collie. We learnt a lot and our training notes have given us recommendations for us to work on in between visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nat!"

"We've seen Nat twice now for our pup for a one-on-one training sessions. We have initially done puppy school elsewhere and these one-on-one sessions with Natalie helped with new challenges (new bub) and refine the skills that we have learnt previously. We also appreciate the very detailed appointment notes sent to us via email after sessions - this helps us keep up with training and refer back to some tips and techniques down the track. Would highly recommend Natalie! :)"
