Wolfhound X Training

Do you have a Wolfhound 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.

Wolfhound crosses are typically very large, gentle dogs who inherit the sighthound's calm temperament and impressive size. They're usually affectionate and laid-back at home, but their size and prey drive create unique challenges.

Common Wolfhound X traits and training needs

• Very large — even minor pulling becomes a major issue at their size
• Strong prey drive inherited from the sighthound side — will chase running animals
• Can be nervous or anxious despite their imposing size, especially around loud noises
• Sensitive temperament — harsh corrections damage trust and confidence
• May struggle with recall when chase instinct is triggered
• Counter-surfing is almost unavoidable — everything is within reach

Wolfhound cross owners have a gentle giant with a surprising sensitive side. If your Wolfhound cross clears the kitchen bench without trying, shakes during storms, or turns into a 50-kilo sprinter when a rabbit appears — that's life with a large sighthound cross. Their gentle, affectionate nature makes them lovely to train, but you need to start early while they're still a manageable size.
