Do you have a Staghound 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.
Staghounds are large, athletic sighthound-type dogs bred for hunting over open ground. They're gentle and quiet at home but have an intense prey drive and impressive speed — calm couch dogs that transform outdoors.
Staghound owners appreciate the duality — a quiet, gentle dog at home who turns into a focused hunter the moment something runs. If yours can't be trusted off lead, sleeps for hours on the couch, or trembles during storms, that's sighthound nature. Their gentle, trusting disposition makes them respond well to calm, patient training.
Whether your Staghound 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.

"Our experience with Natalie was great. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful approach to dog training. We learnt so much in our 90 minutes and have already seen a huge change in our dog. Highly recommend her services!"

"Natalie was fabulous with my dogs! I have a very anxious Frenchie who I wasn't even sure could be trained. Nat took her time slowly teaching her (and me) steps to achieve our goals. The understanding/care she shows both animals and humans is fabulous! Thanks Nat 🙂🐶"
— Mich Cachia
"Nat takes so much time to go over concepts and reinforce them, and all with no judgement - she's just that lovely. We always come away from sessions feeling reassured and confident. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone."
