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.

Terrier X (and others) Success Stories

★★★★★ Google
"We were close to the end of our tether when we contacted Natalie to see if she could assist with our young, antisocial JR terrier. Natalie has helped us to better understand the behaviours and motivations of our pups, and how to navigate and manage situations that cause angst for both pups and humans alike. Natalie has worked with us on manageable training tasks to improve behaviours in a range of real-life situations. Our relationships with our pups, and quality of life for all of us, are now much improved. I highly recommend Natalie's approach and philosophy - it's made a positive difference for us."

"Nat knows her stuff and explains it in clear and really easily adoptable instructions. She has helped immensely with our pup who has a bit of anxiety around socialisation so that now we can walk calmly and it's great to have her at the end of emails to answer anything that comes up. Highly recommend Nat's approach, it's made a world of difference!"
