★★★★★ 5.0 from 70 reviews (Sep 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.

"It was very helpful, information packed and enjoyable session!"
— Anthony Murphy
"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
— Britney Lightbody
"Natalie is a brilliant pup & human educator! Her solutions are focused on sustainable, kind & fun techniques for the whole family. Our pup Leica was enamoured from day one & to be honest we were a little star struck too. Cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. 5 stars just aren’t enough."
