CBT Dog Behaviour & Training

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Jim for our dog Remi and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and friendliness. Jim has a real way with dogs, is very knowledgeable and was able to quickly understand the issues we were having with our furry friend. With his expertise and guidance, we were able to see noticeable improvements in our dog's behaviour in just a few short sessions, Remi now walks alongside us, his recall has improved and listens to our every command. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind dog behaviourist.

Jim provided some great insight into the behaviour of our dogs and gave us some really good tips. Both our rescues, Jimmi and Charlie, loved him. We would highly recommend Jim's services Arthur & Ann

Jim has done a couple of sessions with our 2 year old basenji who was pulling on the lead relentlessly and had started to be reactive towards other dogs on the lead. Jim has helped us understand his behaviour and given us loads of tips on how we can improve his on lead behaviour. It's still a work in progress but he's improved a lot and walks feel much less stressful now using the strategies Jim. Thanks again Jim!

We have been working with Jim in our daycare centre for the past year and have nothing but good words to report. Jim is an exceptional behaviourist and provides effective and humane training solutions to help dogs and their owners overcome various behavioural issues. Working with Jim I have observed his methods and extensive understanding of canine behaviour and psychology, which he uses to create tailored training plans for each individual dog. What sets CBT Dog Training apart is its use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles to address and modify negative behaviours. The training methods are based on positive reinforcement and reward-based techniques, which are both effective and kind to the dog. The training plans are tailored to meet the specific needs of each dog, and Jim Gillies works closely with the owners to ensure they understand the training process and can continue the training at home. Jim's training approach is not only effective in addressing the behavioural issues, but also in creating a strong bond between the dog and its owner. Jim also offers online consultations, making it possible to access his expertise from anywhere in the world. We have been lucky enough to take part in online consultations which are just as effective as in-person training, and Jim uses video conferencing to provide a personalized training plan for each dog. Overall, I would highly recommend CBT Dog Training to anyone looking for professional and effective dog training services. Jim's expertise in canine behaviour and his kind and positive approach to training make him a great choice for anyone looking to help their dog overcome behavioural issues and improve their relationship with their furry friend. Thank you for your help. I look forward to working together in the future.

Jim worked with us after our 2 year old Labrador became reactive to strangers both in and out of the house. Jim's advice has helped us to improve the behaviour and our confidence in dealing with it, so that we can all get back to enjoying spending time together.
