★★★★★ 5.0 from 74 reviews (Oct 2026)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.

"Natalie is an absolutely amazing trainer. I’m so relieved to have her help in settling our new chihuahua into our household, where we have a very territorial cavoodle. Nat takes you step by step with training so it’s not overwhelming. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! Natalie and Crazy, Kind Calm was recommended to us from a work mate and we couldn’t be happier. We recently rescued a Jack Russell Terrier who is nearly 1.5 years old, and after much research on trainers in the region, we reached out to Natalie. Rightly so, she is a very sought after trainer and we waited patiently for our session with her. She even recommended other trainers who we might want to engage, as it would be 6 weeks before we could see her. We decided to hold out and do our best until our session with the her. From the minute Natalie entered the home, she had our little mate completely engaged. Honestly, it was like watching magic. We went for the personal training session first, and her credentials and experience did not disappoint. We had a 2 hour session, and not 1 second was wasted. The whole experience was the most engaging, informative and educational I have ever had with a trainer, especially dealing with rescue dogs and their big feelings. We can’t wait for our follow up sessions. The level of care, the detailed and tailored training plans which Natalie sent after the session, the trust our precious little mate Billy had in her from the first second, and her genuine warmth, and love and respect for all dogs- made it a very comforting and wondrous experience. Again- if there were more stars to give- I would give them. A truly professional, experienced, trustworthy and knowledgeable trainer - worth the wait 💜"
