Terrier X Training

Do you have a Terrier X 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.

Terrier crosses carry the terrier's trademark boldness, independence, and tenacity, blended with another breed. Regardless of the mix, the terrier personality tends to punch through — producing dogs with big attitudes and strong opinions.

Common Terrier X traits and training needs

  • Terrier confidence and stubbornness typically dominate the personality
  • Prone to barking at visitors, other dogs, and anything they consider noteworthy
  • High prey drive — chasing small animals is usually a strong instinct
  • Can be reactive to other dogs, especially on lead
  • Independent thinkers who may decide your instructions are optional
  • May develop resource guarding over toys, food, and favourite spots

Terrier cross owners know that the terrier personality doesn't dilute easily. If yours is bold, opinionated, barky, and convinced they run the household — that's the terrier genes at work. Their intelligence and energy make them more capable than their stubbornness might suggest. Finding their motivation is the key to unlocking their training potential.

"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"

"We love Natalie. She has this special talent to make dogs feel at ease, and explain behaviours to us humans that make sense. She uses practical suggestions that have helped us manage a now multi-dog household better. We have a bit more training to do but her follow up notes will safely guide us. We highly recommend Natalie and Crazy Kind Calm."

"Natalie was very professional and a lovely person to deal with. My 10 month old Lowchen was very responsive to her commands. I was very impressed with the training notes she sent the next day too. I would recommend Crazy Kind Calm . Jenny Ryan"
