Meet with Sabira, our experienced trainer, for a one-on-one 30-minute assessment designed to give you and your dog the very best start. In this session, Sabira will take the time to learn about your dog’s history, current skills, and training goals so we can understand their unique needs. You’ll receive gentle, positive handling tips to help both you and your dog feel comfortable and supported in the training space. For dogs who may be nervous, overly excited, or easily distracted, we will go at their pace and introduce strategies that encourage focus, confidence, and calm behavior.
This assessment also allows us to match your dog to the right training level or program, whether that means providing extra support, joining a group class, or benefiting from one-on-one coaching. By the end of the assessment, you’ll leave with personalized feedback and practical tips you can start using right away at home and in class, helping to set a clear path for your dog’s ongoing success!
Behavioral Modification with Renee deVilliers Intial Consultation $250.00
Some dogs experience behavioral challenges that go beyond basic training and require a more personalized, focused approach. Our Behavioral Modification program offers one-on-one private sessions to address specific concerns such as aggression, fear, anxiety, or other unwanted behaviors. These sessions are designed to help you understand the root cause of the issue and provide a clear, step-by-step plan for moving forward. Whether your goal is to resolve a serious behavioral problem or simply to gain better communication with your dog, behavior modification can also be paired with group obedience classes to reinforce foundational skills and build confidence.
Renee deVilliers brings over 30 years of professional dog training experience, offering a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate, customized approach. Every session is tailored to meet the unique needs of both you and your dog. The initial consultation typically runs 15–30 minutes longer than a standard hour to allow time for a comprehensive assessment of your dog’s behavior, environment, and history. Sessions are available in person at All About Dogs or virtually, making it easy to access expert guidance no matter where you are.
Take the first step toward a more balanced and harmonious relationship with your dog through a personalized behavioral consultation designed to bring lasting change and understanding.

In-home training offers the added benefit of assessing your dog’s home environment and helping create a training plan that works for everyone in the household. This allows us to address real-life behaviors—such as leash walking, recall, impulse control, and manners—right where they happen.
