About Saro - Saro Dog Training

 

Hi, I’m Saro.

For years, I’ve been helping frustrated dog owners transform their “stubborn” dogs into willing partners.

But I noticed a pattern: 50% of my most successful clients owned independent breeds—Beagles, Huskies, Jack Russell Terriers. Dogs that other trainers struggled with.

That’s when I realized these dogs aren’t stubborn. They’re independent. And they need a different approach.

So I created the Play & Praise Method™—a trust-based training approach that builds real connection without relying on treats or force.

Now I exclusively coach owners of stubborn, independent dogs who are tired of:
– Treat dependency (“my dog only listens when I have food”)
– Harsh methods that break trust
– Generic advice that doesn’t work for their breed

If you’re ready to finally understand your dog and build a real partnership, I’d love to help you.

A Personal Note From Saro

I help dog owners struggling with reactive, aggressive, overly excited, or stubborn dogs go from feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by traditional methods to achieving a calm, well-behaved dog companion. This transformation uses trust, communication, and leadership without treats or force, enhancing the bond and creating a peaceful, rewarding home environment for both pet and owner.
