Paw-sitive Impact: How CBT Academy is Changing Lives

“ Jim helped my 6-year-old rescue dog Bentley, who refused to walk due to fear of everything. He would also bark, growl and lunge at any dog who came near him, especially when on a lead.

The training sessions with Jim, I can honestly say, have been life-changing. The strategies Jim has taught us to use continue to be effective and I have a much calmer, happier dog. In addition, I feel much more able to read Bentley's cues and behaviours through the support and resources that Jim has provided.

Jim is probably the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever met, and his kindness and patience when working with Bentley were outstanding!”

“I was struggling with two of my dogs experiencing phantom pregnancies, which significantly raised their aggression and made things challenging. Jim stepped in with effective techniques and a lot of reassurance. His approach not only helped manage their aggression but also brought a sense of calm to our home. The dogs quickly took to him, showing almost immediate improvement in their behaviour.

What stood out the most was Jim's availability; he was always just a phone call away whenever I needed guidance. His methods are not only kind and compassionate, but also engaging and enjoyable for the dogs.

I highly recommend Jim and his services. His expertise and fun, positive reinforcement techniques made a world of difference for us!”

Elaine Hegarty

“My cocker spaniel, Lana, is now 18 months old. Between the ages of 4 and 14 months, we had three sets of sessions with Jim to cover basic training, reinforce recall with distractions, and even teach her to swim. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough. He is an incredibly knowledgeable behaviorist who provides the confidence and information needed to effectively train your dog.

Lana absolutely adored him, and after each session, we knew exactly what to work on. I learned so much, especially about the benefits of positive reinforcement and how rewarding it is when you put in the effort. Thanks to Jim, I can now take my still-excitable spaniel anywhere with confidence.

All credit goes to Jim at CBT for the amazing progress we've made!”
