Do you have a West Highland White Terrier 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.
West Highland White Terriers (Westies) are confident, cheerful dogs with the classic terrier combination of independence and charm. They're adaptable and affectionate, but beneath that white fluffy exterior is a determined terrier spirit.
Westie owners love their confident little white dog's big personality. If your Westie barks at every passing dog, ignores you when something more interesting appears, or has claimed the best seat in the house as permanently theirs — that's the terrier way. Their cheerful, sociable nature makes them enjoy training when it's presented as a game rather than a command.
Whether your West Highland White Terrier 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.

"Massive thank you to Natalie for her professional and unique service on training and obedience techniques to assist Sadie and myself a couple of weeks ago. Natalie has given me confidence to pursue her kind and calm approach and providing specific techniques to work in with our busy lifestyle and still getting a positive result. Thanks again Natalie. Kind regards, Karina, Tom, Leyla and Sadie."

"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."

"We have had a great experience with CKC. We have learnt a lot and have been able to apply this training easily to our gregarious pup...now adolescent pup. The training makes sense and logic of your dog's behaviour. Would definitely recommend to all dog owners, no matter how old."
