Elena Manauzzi

Professional Dog Trainer

Elena Manauzzi’s lifelong passion for animals began in the woods of Russia, where she spent her childhood caring for wild animals in need. This early connection to nature and wildlife instilled in her a deep understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach to their care.

As a teenager, Elena was selected to join the prestigious Russian military dog training program. There, she honed her skills and developed a profound appreciation for the intelligence, loyalty, and potential of working dogs. Graduating from the program with awards and distinction, she embarked on a career dedicated to helping dogs reach their full potential.

For decades, Elena has traveled the world, professionally training dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Her expertise spans a wide range of disciplines, from obedience and behavior modification to advanced skills and working dog training. Elena’s intuitive approach and ability to channel a dog’s natural energy into productive behaviors have earned her a reputation as a true “dog whisperer.”

Today, Elena resides in Atlanta, Georgia, where she continues her work as a professional dog trainer. She shares her home with her three beloved German Shepherds, who inspire her daily to pursue her mission of fostering harmony between dogs and their owners. Whether working with family pets or challenging behavioral cases, Elena is committed to helping every dog become a confident, well-adjusted member of the family.
