Meet the Team

Hi my name is Brennan O'Malley. I was born and raised in Mentor, Ohio. I am a graduate of Bowling Green State University with a degree in Hospitality. Once graduating, I realized I wanted to help people and make a difference, but my real passion was with dogs.

I love training my dogs, so when I came across Dog Training Elite I knew the company was the perfect fit for me. My dogs have always been important to me and I admired how DTE tailors training to meet a family's needs.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have a Pit Bull American Bulldog mix and a Portuguese Water Dog. In my free time, I like to take them swimming at the lake.

GO BUCKS!

Hi, my name is Anna Burica! I was born and raised in Gahanna, Ohio, and have always had a strong passion for animals. I come from a background in veterinary medicine, where I worked as both a veterinary assistant and client service coordinator, giving me the opportunity to work closely with dogs and support their owners every day.

My passion for training really took off when I started working with my Goldendoodle, Millie. Through training her, I discovered a love for therapy and service dog work and saw just how life-changing it can be. I came across Dog Training Elite at the All American Pet Expo, and it was perfect timing!

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I love being able to work with them every day. In my free time, I enjoy spending time on the jet ski at Alum Creek and taking Millie on walks!

Hi, my name is Ami! After spending over 30 years as a special education teacher, I retired with a deep sense of fulfillment and a lifelong passion for helping others. I had the privilege of working with students of all abilities, helping them overcome challenges, build confidence, and celebrate their successes. Creating a supportive environment where every student felt valued and capable was always at the heart of my work.

My passion for teaching has carried over into my new career as a certified dog trainer. I’ve always loved animals, and transitioning into dog training felt like a natural next step. The patience, empathy, and communication skills I developed in the classroom have translated seamlessly into working with dogs and their families.

I have a Portuguese Water Dog named Dolly, and I spend a lot of my time training her. In my free time, I enjoy weekends at the lake and staying active with CrossFit!
