Gosia Billedo

Owner & Trainer
Hablo español

Born and raised in Poland, Gosia has called Georgia home since 2013, when she took a huge leap of faith and accepted a career opportunity that took her and her teenage son across the globe to start a new life in the US. A decade later, and after 20+ years of a successful career in sales and account management, she decided to take another leap of faith and leave the corporate world to follow her passion for dogs and ambition to work for her own success as a dog training franchise owner with the support of her husband and business partner, Michael.

As a trainer, Gosia teams up with Lucy, her German Shorthaired Pointer, to support dog owners in their community by helping them build happy and healthy relationships with their four-legged family members. She is a big fan and advocate of dog adoptions and being a loving mom to her rescue dog Rusty, she strongly believes in the importance of training and socialization in the process of helping dogs and their humans to adapt to their new life together.

Michael Billedo

Owner & Trainer

Michael, who was born in the Philippines, has lived much of his life in different US states, now calls the Peach State home since 2010. He has three adult daughters, and five (and counting) grandchildren! He spent his early career as a Respiratory Therapist in the Chicago area, then took a gamble to go into medical device marketing and has been very successful for over two decades. He has now taken his passion for making a difference in people’s lives, his love for dogs, and running his own business into being a co-owner at Dog Training Elite Northeast Atlanta.

Being gregarious and curious-minded, Michael loves interacting with people and loves to help and support their needs. In this, he finds ways to reach out and help the community, and of course, people with dogs. He looks forward to working with all his clients to develop the bond and socialization that comes with training a well-mannered, happy dog.
