OUR CLIENTS' FEEDBACK
"We loved our Relaxed Obedience online training and Jennifer our trainer was fantastic.
​
Relaxed Obedience was an amazing resource for a new border collie owner who was not 100% aware of what I got myself into. The weekly online sessions built a strong foundation for Mollie and I both for our relationship and her skill development. The sessions built on top of themselves and expanded her skills each week and included fun and enrichment activities. Now a resource that I can call upon if I need help but can refer back to the notes Jennifer provided after every session. Mollie and I have built a solid relationship and skill base thanks to Jennifer and Relaxed Obedience."

"Maree at Relaxed Obedience has been fantastic to work with for training our new puppy.
​
We starting working with Maree during our first few weeks of having our border collie puppy home. The sessions made a huge difference to her behaviour, helped us build a strong bond, and were a positive/fun experience for the pup.
Our sessions were via online video calls, which made it convenient to do from our home during the week. Maree is knowledgeable and supportive, we highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog trainer!"

"We are so thankful for finding Louise and Relaxed Obedience.
​
Not only did they take the time to understand our family, but their acute understanding of dog behaviour, breed specifics and puppy normalcy meant we had expert guides through the whole journey of settling out pup and acclimatising to having a puppy in a busy, noisy household. Always available with advice, resources and training specific for our puppy we are so thankful for their support. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! We are well on our way to having a puppy that is well behaved and more importantly, happy!"

We've been training with Jenn from Relaxed Obedience for almost a year now.
We were able to start training from the first week we brought our puppy home and really liked the one on one sessions online.
It was great to be able to tailor the sessions to our puppy's needs and the individual challenges we faced.
We're now doing group sessions with Jenn and recommend her and the Relaxed Obedience team to everyone.

Absolutely loved working with Carey and Maree.
Miles and I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the “relaxed” style of training which saw major improvements and results. Miles is a very well behaved pup and I believe it is due to the training he received as a young dog! I will no doubt return in future… thank you again!

Cannot recommend Relaxed Obedience enough.
Jenn, our trainer has helped us navigate and problem solve puppy life with 1:1 training and solutions specific to our pup. With particular knowledge of his breed she has helped us survive adolescent dog life so far. Looking forward to continuing training to end up with a happy well-rounded dog.

"We met Louise and Relaxed Obedience when we bought our puppy Missy . We could not be happier and are so thankful for Louise’s expert advice and mentoring .
She helped us in the early days to bond with our new puppy and we started on building obedience foundations. 7 months later we have the most amazing relationship with our dog and she has become the most well behaved, and confident dog.
We all have learnt so much and Louise has gone above and beyond helping us along the way. She is always ready to answer our many questions and is available even outside lesson times . We look forward to our lessons together and have the ability to even choose areas of obedience that we would like to work on . Huge thanks go to Louise."

"I can honestly say if it wasn’t for the guidance and amazing training given by Jennifer at Relaxed obedience I don’t know where I’d be!
​
I was skeptical at first about online training and wanted to get out and socialize my pup, but after the first few sessions I saw how beneficial it was to be in my own environment without distractions to really get the fundamentals down and to learn each command in the comfort of my own home was actually so much better than I thought it would be! Also not having to get in the car and go somewhere after work or on the weekends when it’s busy enough was bliss too 😊
I love how all the training with Relaxed Obedience is taught by building a relationship with your pup to really grow that bond rather than just learning to obey commands.
Jennifer has taught me so many valuable lessons so far and is always there when questions pop up, even in between sessions. I can see how much Cleo has learned and I think I’ve learned even more! Thank you Jennifer 🤗 Can’t recommend online training and Jennifer/Relaxed Obedience highly enough."

Thank you very much to Maree and the team for the training you’ve provided.
As a first time dog owner I had no idea what to expect bringing up a puppy, but with the guidance and advice of the relaxed obedience curriculum Beau has become a wonderful companion. The freedom of doing the classes in my own home was great as he was in his own environment with minimal distractions. Learning about him as a not just a dog but a living character and the thoughts and feelings they have was the best thing I could have done for him. Not only does he learn to respond to me and commands but I learn about him too and what he needs. And let’s not forget the tricks ! It’s so cute and I’m so proud. Thanks again Maree could not have survived the puppy blues without you !

In June, we welcomed a little sister for Remi, a beautiful Spring Hill’s Australian Cobberdog whom we lovingly named “Boo.”
When she first arrived, Boo was a shy, timid, and anxious little girl, hesitant to venture indoors or seek cuddles. Thankfully, with the support of Spring Hill’s, we connected with the wonderful team at Relaxed Obedience. Together, we embarked on a transformative five-session online training course with the remarkable Maree, who helped Boo adjust to our family life.
Each session was thoughtfully tailored to address Boo's unique needs, guiding her through the adjustment to her new environment. As a result, Boo blossomed into the happy and confident dog she was meant to be.
The training was exceptional, and the detailed support documentation provided after each session was incredibly helpful, reinforcing everything we had learned and more. I can’t recommend Maree and the Relaxed Obedience team highly enough. Their ongoing support means I always have someone to turn to for additional guidance or when we’re ready to take our training to the next level.
