Getting a dog is only half the way. Transforming your dog’s reactivity, aggression, and excitement into calm, obedient behaviour is the other half. That’s where I come in.
Why is your dog
The reason is simple:
Your dog is stressed. Stress comes from unmet needs. When a dog’s physical, mental, social, physiological, and emotional needs aren’t consistently fulfilled daily, that stress manifests as reactivity, aggression, or other unwanted behaviours.
Once you learn and understand what your dog’s needs are and start implementing them daily, your dog simply starts to destress, and things that stressed it before won’t bother it and will be happier and more cooperative.
The Struggle:Your dog’s barking and whining constantly interrupting your daily routine.
You can’t focus on your life because your dog demands attention non-stop.
Walks are stressful—your dog pulls, lunges, and reacts, leaving you embarrassed and frustrated.
The Solution:With my proven force-free, treat-free method, you’ll learn how to:
Create calm at home so you can live undisturbed.
Eliminate reactivity and enjoy stress-free walks.
Build a trusting bond without relying on treats or harsh corrections.
20+ Years of Proven Experience:
With over two decades of hands-on dog training, I’ve helped thousands of dog owners transform their reactive, aggressive, and overly excited dogs into calm, well-behaved companions—without treats or force.
Unique, Results-Driven Method:
I’ve created a force-free, treat-free training system that works. With just 15-minute sessions, three times a week, you’ll build the skills and confidence to handle your dog in any situation.
Personalized Coaching & Support:
You won’t do this alone. I’ll be with you every step of the way offering customized 1:1 coaching to give you the tools, techniques, and confidence for lasting results with your dog.
Why no treats or force?
Because treats only create temporary obedience—your dog listens as long as the food is around. The moment you don’t have a treat, they lose interest.
And force or domination? It creates fear, not trust. A fearful dog may comply, but they’ll never truly be confident or calm.
You have a professional dog trainer and coach supporting you all the way. 24/7.
Online video lessons based on you and your dog's needs plus custom content designed for you.
Have fun training your dog without the use of food or force. Use play and praise instead.

Lori Antifave
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.
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! 
The best way to begin is by booking a free video call with me. This call allows us to get acquainted so I can understand your needs better. My goal isn’t to sell you anything during this call but to genuinely assess if my methods and expertise can help address your dog’s specific issues. Many dog owners have found success through my programs and this initial conversation will help us determine if we’re a good fit to achieve the same for you.
As a busy dog owner, you and your dog will feel more comfortable and willing to absorb information in your own home setting. Virtual training offers all the information you need in a familiar environment making it easier to master the techniques.
Yes, if you want to specialize in a certain form of dog training sport such as agility, flyball or protection. These types of training would need you to be present and work one on one with a qualified dog trainer. But if you want to improve your life with your dog, the best place to start is at your home using online or virtual training, coaching and learning.
I am a certified expert family pet dog trainer and I received my dog trainer certification from “The College of Canine Behavioural Science”.
By using my simple holistic dog training method and understanding my philosophy, your dog would love to listen to you without being dependent on food, force or domination. This proven, holistic approach fits effortlessly into your schedule and focuses on transforming your dog’s behaviour while strengthening your bond making both you and your dog happier and more fulfilled.
You can enjoy your life with your dog. I have the solutions and I am ready to share them with you.
