Hello, I'm Elisa
I'm the owner and head trainer of Happy Hounds Dog Training just outside of Richmond Hill, Ga.
With over a decade of experience, I've dedicated my career to helping dogs and their people understand each other better.
My expertise goes beyond basic obedience. I am a certified AKC Evaluator and specialized training in high-level scent work, including Gluten Detection and Diabetic Alert through Willow Service Dogs. This background in precision service dog training allows me to bring a unique level of detail and reliability to every pet dog I work with.
I believe in a positive, balanced approach that is practical for real life. Whether we are working in your home, on a busy Savannah street or at a local park like Forsyth Park, my goal is to ensure you can enjoy your dog anywhere and everywhere in between.
In my free time, I volunteer with Walk Forward, a local nonprofit organization that helps train service dogs for people in need.
My Story
I'm originally from Germany and have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. That passion grew into a career helping dogs and their people understand each other through trust, patience, and clear communication.
I provide dog training, puppy training, and behavior support for families in Savannah and the surrounding areas. My goal is to make dog training supportive, achievable, and rewarding, whether you're raising a new puppy, teaching basic and advanced obedience, or working through behavioral challenges with your dog.

I would love to hear about your dog and how I can help you reach your training goals.
