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

"Natalie is an absolute legend! We welcomed two Aussie Shepherd boys from the same litter and had heard plenty about the challenges of raising two brothers. We couldn’t have done it better without her guidance. We truly appreciate her ongoing support and the positive changes we’ve seen."

"Nat was excellent. I felt she understood my puppy and me immediately. She is clearly very knowledgeable and left me with a very different approach to helping my anxious boy. She was kind towards both my puppy and me and I was confident she understood and cared about dogs - I have had different experiences with other trainers. After our session and the follow up email I have a lot of different tools to use to work with my boy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help giving a dog its best life. Thanks Nat."

"Excellent though I felt a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information sat the beginning of the session"
