Do you have a Spoodle 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.
Spoodles (Cocker Spaniel × Poodle) are lively, affectionate dogs who combine the Cocker's merry temperament with the Poodle's intelligence. They're energetic, social, and eager to please — though they can be more spirited than their cuddly appearance suggests.
Spoodle owners often say they got more dog than they bargained for — in the best way. That cute curly coat hides a dog with real energy and brains who needs daily exercise and mental challenges. If your Spoodle follows you everywhere, picks up every scent on walks, or turns into a spinning top when guests arrive, you're seeing the breed at work. Their eagerness to please makes them wonderful training partners once you get on the same page.
Whether your Spoodle 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 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!"

"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
