My Training Methodology

I simply refer to myself as a dog trainer because I believe methods like “balanced,” “positive,” or “force-free” can sometimes be limiting. Every dog is unique, and each situation requires a tailored approach. Whether it’s their breed, temperament, or past experiences, there are many paths to success, and my goal is to find the one that works best for each dog.

My main focus is creating a happy, confident dog that performs tasks with ease, without needing constant commands to control their behavior. I believe in letting dogs be dogs, helping them understand boundaries while still enjoying life. A key principle I’ve learned from my mentors is that the first step is to work on the dog’s heart. Once trust and motivation are built, teaching behavior becomes much easier, because the dog is eager and confident, not fearful or forced.

My approach is based on play and teamwork, creating a bond where your dog sees you as a partner, not just an owner. Together, we work on building a relationship where the dog wants to engage and cooperate, rather than just completing tasks for rewards.

Sahag is a very good dog trainer. He plays different games with my dog using various training techniques. I am amazed at how Zeus listens to him and enjoys spending time with him. Zeus is having fun every time. I can see how much he loves my dog. Additionally, he is helping me with dog food. He is knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what he does. I highly recommend Sahag as a dog trainer, dog walker, and dog food specialist.

I cannot recommend Sahag enough as a dog trainer! My little Bella, a 4-pound Maltese, has always been sensitive and prone to barking, especially around strangers. This had been a major challenge for us. However, after training sessions with Sahag, Bella has significantly improved. She no longer barks uncontrollably at people and can now walk calmly in public spaces, something we thought might never happen!
Sahag is patient and professional. He clearly loves dogs and took the time to understand Bella's unique needs, given her tiny size and sensitive nature. His kind and thoughtful approach made Bella feel comfortable throughout the process.
Sahag is absolutely the best choice for dog training. Thank you for helping Bella become the well-behaved pup we knew she could be!

Sahag is absolutely AMAZING! He has been such a game changer for my dog’s training. His patience and ability to keep things fun and engaging really stood out. Every session, he comes in with new tips and techniques, always taking things to the next level. My dog has made incredible progress thanks to his guidance, and I’m beyond impressed with how dedicated and passionate he is. If you’re looking for a trainer who knows his stuff and genuinely cares, Sahag is your guy!

Sahag is extremely proficient and skilled at what he does! Been training my overtly unruly and disobedient puppy since I brought her home and I have seen noticeable improvements and increased obedience in Lulu. She learnt obedience, responding to commands, is 99% pee and potty trained and is quite a gentle puppy. His boarding services are also worth investing in. He conducts his boarding in a home-setting which makes it easier for your dog to relate to your home once they are back. Quickly customizes his training and makes good recommendations per your fur baby’s needs. Bonds very well with all dogs. Highly recommend.
