This call is designed for dedicated dog owners who want a well-behaved, calm, and obedient dog—without relying on treats, food, or aversive tools. If any of the following sounds like you, then you’re in the right place:
New Dog Owners – You love your dog but struggle to find the right training methods that fit into your hectic schedule.
Frustrated Owners – You’ve tried different trainers, tools, and even tons of treats, but your dog still doesn’t listen or behave reliably.
Owners of Reactive or Stubborn Dogs – Your dog pulls on the leash, barks excessively, or doesn’t listen—especially in distracting environments.
People Who Want to Build a Stronger Bond with Their Dog – You don’t just want an obedient dog; you want a deep, trusting relationship based on respect and connection.
Dog Owners Who Want a Proven, Ethical Training Method – You’re looking for force-free, effective, and practical training that works for real life—without food bribes or punishment.
Owners Who Want a Lifetime Solution – You don’t want quick fixes; you want a lasting transformation that helps your dog become the best version of itself.
This call is not for everyone—and that’s okay! To get the best results, you must be open to new methods and committed to building a strong relationship with your dog. If any of the following describes you, this program may not be the right fit:
If you’re looking for a quick fix – This is not a magic solution. True, lasting results take commitment, consistency, and patience.
If you want to rely on treats, food, or bribes to train your dog – My method focuses on play, praise, and real connection—not food dependency.
If you believe in using shock collars, prong collars, or other aversive tools – This program is 100% force-free. If you think dogs need to be dominated or punished to learn, this isn’t for you.
If you’re not willing to invest time in your dog – This program requires active participation. If you’re looking for a passive training method where someone else does all the work, this won’t be a good fit.
If you see your dog as just a pet, not a family member – My training approach is about building a lifelong bond, not just fixing “bad behavior.”
If you want instant obedience without understanding your dog’s needs – This program teaches you how to work with your dog, not force obedience without addressing the root cause of behavior issues.
This program is designed for dog owners who truly care about their dog’s well-being and want a respectful, effective, and lifelong training approach. If that’s you—let’s get started! 
Before we started training with Saro Josh, and I were both feeling confused but It was no longer confusing for Josh and me as we continued through the program with Saro.

I highly recommend Saro’s training system. You will need to take everything you learned and expect to teach your family members the same training methods. This will only work if everyone is on the same page at home.

When I adopted my dog, I was completely inexperienced, and I felt overwhelmed.
Saro's training not only helped me connect with my Beagle but also transformed our relationship entirely. As a busy working woman, it took me a while to take the lessons, but with each one, my bond with Tiger significantly deepened. A few months of maternity leave further enhanced our relationship.
I highly recommend Saro's training course over any other.
Sima Maleki
With Tiger
I couldn't believe how quickly she responded to training without treats. Sasha is a bit overweight and needs to have less food in her life. Positive reinforcement is key to this type of training, as well as firm, clear and confident commands.
Chris Carter
With Sasha
“The course was great, I have a friend who spent a lot of money on a course and they did not address all the issues such as feeding”.
“There are no treats involved in the training at all”.
“He never howls or barks, it is going really well on our daily walks”.
“When I meet dogs or strangers he simply sits and waits for them to come”.
“I bring him everywhere, in the car, to my friends at school when I pick up my son”.
“The vet is amazed at how well-behaved he is.”
Maude
With Yugi
In general, I also like that his approach is holistic and natural.
Now we have a lovely 1-year-old Beagle who is much calmer on walks and easier to manage. We feel much more relaxed and loving with our dog.

Two weeks of training my adopted beagle on leash according to Saro's guidelines and he has improved 50-75%. Thank you.
CHRISTINA LANTHIER
Saro, I have developed a better relationship with my beagle using Saro training techniques.
SHERYN
An excellent dog training course that explains human and dog psychology. Saro’s techniques explain dog training in easy steps.
Hella Simonsen
Can’t wait for this winter to walk on the trails. Oreo (basset/beagles mix) had to be leashed but I am hoping he will be Ok to be off leash this year. He was adopted 2 years ago and now is very good at staying with me. Thanks to Saro and his training methods.
Christine Lanthier
Saro, you are awesome. The way you deliver information makes it so easy to process and understand. Thank you.
S. GEORGE
The BEST! Training is what WORKS! and I have found that play and praise is the only type of training that works for me and my 2 dogs.
Nancy Ritland
Play and Praise works. My dog was trained on treats. Now saying "good boy " is magical, and he doesn't look for treats as much.
Cynthia Ingram
I loved the puppy training 101 course. My dog has become a joy to be with. Maybe me too. We both have to learn and grow, right? Godspeed.
