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.

Wolfhound X (and others) Success Stories

Jack Russell Terrier • Daylesford

"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 💜"
