Wolfhound x Catahoula Training

Do you have a Wolfhound x Catahoula 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 × Catahoula crosses are unique, powerful dogs that blend the sighthound's prey drive with the Catahoula's working intensity. They're typically large, athletic dogs with strong instincts and a complex temperament.

Common Wolfhound x Catahoula traits and training needs

  • Very strong prey drive from both parent breeds — off-lead walking is risky
  • Large and powerful — needs early lead training before they reach full size
  • Can be wary of strangers and may take time to trust new people
  • Independent and strong-willed — the Catahoula side adds intensity to the sighthound's independence
  • May be reactive to other dogs, particularly unfamiliar ones
  • Needs significant daily exercise to prevent frustration-based behaviours

Wolfhound × Catahoula owners have a unique, powerful dog that's unlike anything else at the park. If yours is intensely loyal but suspicious of strangers, impossible to trust off lead, or has more energy than their size suggests — that's both parent breeds at work. Their intelligence and loyalty make them responsive to confident, consistent training built on trust.

Wolfhound x Catahoula (and others) Success Stories

"Excellent though I felt a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information sat the beginning of the session"

"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 💜"

"Nat was excellent. I felt she understood my puppy and me immediately. She is clearly very knowledgeable and left me with a very different approach to helping my anxious boy. She was kind towards both my puppy and me and I was confident she understood and cared about dogs - I have had different experiences with other trainers. After our session and the follow up email I have a lot of different tools to use to work with my boy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help giving a dog its best life. Thanks Nat."
