About Elena Miller

I have had a lifelong interest in working with animals. My family has been adopting animals since before I was born so I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, frogs, newts, and turtles. Although I have always loved dogs, it had never occurred to me that I could build a successful career through dog training. I went to SUNY Albany and graduated with a BA in Broadcast Meteorology. After working in the TV News industry for several years, I was no longer happy with my job and knew I needed to make a change. My husband and I attended a training course with our rescue dogs and it completely changed our lives (and our dogs’ lives) in such a positive manner! I worked with our dogs daily and would get compliments on how well behaved they were; it was then I realized I could make my passion for training dogs into a successful career! The personal experiences I had with her own dogs helped motivate me to open Dogs Unleashed K9 Training. My goal with training is to help others open a line of communication and create a better relationship with their beloved four-legged family members.

My research led me to the internationally renowned National K-9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio. While there, I became certified in eleven different areas of professional dog training including; basic obedience, advanced obedience, behavior modification, utility, breed identification, puppy development, tracking, scent detection, personal protection, police K-9, and retrieval.

I am a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals and the National K-9 Dog Trainers Association. In addition, I am certified by the American Red Cross in Pet First Aid, and I am a registered AKC CGC evaluator. I live in Towaco, NJ with my husband, Johnny and our three rescues: Scooter, Blue, and Penny. I look forward to helping you “Unleash your best friend’s potential!”
