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.

"Excellent though I felt a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information sat the beginning of the session"
— Paul Carter March 2025
"Natalie has been fantastic with our 2 over exuberant anxious dogs and us their humans, we have just had a third training session and it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks, our dogs 2.5 and 5.5 yrs old are calmer, easier to walk and not barking crazy at everyone that wanders past our fence, it still is a work in progress but Natalie has been an amazing resource and her manner and dealings with us and doggies is wise and professional"

"Natalie was great and gave us all the tools we need to continue training at home. A lot was packed into the training session and we got a lot out of it. The detailed follow up class notes are also fantastic. Would highly recommend Crazy Kind Calm Dog Training"
