Certified Trainer: Ella Tirado

Ella is a certified professional dog trainer who brings experience, compassion, and a deep understanding of canine behavior to every dog-and-human team she works with. She was selected to be relocated from New York to join the Peach on a Leash team due to her impressive background and wide range of training and behavior experience.

Ella’s journey into dog training began in the veterinary field, where she developed a strong interest in animal behavior. Her curiosity evolved into a career-long passion, leading her to earn certifications through both the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-CTP) and the Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA). She is also a member of The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.

Known for her patience and thoughtful communication style, Ella thrives on coaching owners to build stronger, more effective relationships with their dogs. While she loves working with all dogs, she has a soft spot for power breeds and tiny dogs with oversized personalities—just like her own pups, Otto and Ant-Twon.

Ella serves in-home dog training clients in: Brookhaven, Buckhead, Midtown, Chamblee, Peachtree Corners, Vinings

Praise

We were SO sad when our 6 training sessions with our (then) 9 week old golden retriever Dolly came to an end. Courtney was so amazing. She listened, cared, and was very invested in Dolly's progress. Not only that, but she successfully handled a last minute inclusion of our 5 year old for the first session, which isn't for the faint of heart.

Courtney accomplished what we were hoping for, which was a great foundation for our puppy (but mostly for us!) to make her a great dog for life. Within one session, Dolly was rolling with 4-5 commands. By the end of our 6 weeks, we were confident we all had the tools we needed. We'll miss Courtney's visits!

My puppy, Libby, just completed the puppy training program and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Our trainer, Mandy, was simply amazing. She taught us so much but was also so caring and invested in our progress. Libby and I both looked forward to each of our six sessions and I’m absolutely amazed at the progress made in such a short period of time. We miss Mandy already!

Peach on a Leash offers the best training available and has the best customer experience commitment I’ve encountered. You will not be disappointed if you trust them with your pup!

“Alex is absolutely AMAZING! She is an erudite trainer, dedicated, caring and implements positive behavioral techniques that our sweet Fisher responds to almost immediately. She communicates clearly and efficiently during our sessions and follows up with a written recap and plan of action. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

—Ellie, client

I cannot say enough about our experience with Julia. Our dog shows more obedience and trust with me after our five sessions with her. She is knowledgeable, confident and fun! I feel better equipped to be the best doggie mom I can be because of her. A million thanks!

—Amanda, client

We do the in-house training and it has been and wonderful experience so far. They have amazing training techniques, all are working very well. We had a puppy who could not go potty outside and now she is, and is learning new commands every training visit.

Amelia Cosmas is our trainer and she is superb, she makes you feel very comfortable and has lots of great information not just with training but with other things like socializing, enrichment and day to day puppy and dog care. We would recommend Peach on a Leash to anyone looking for a positive training expierience that helps you bond with your new puppy or dog and also most important wonderful trainers that you look forward to seeing and working with.

Highly recommend Peach on a Leash! My dog, Archie, and I worked with Kailin for a few months and she was fantastic. She was very patient with Archie and took the time to show me how to replicate her training with him myself. She always provided post session notes with everything we discussed. She also brought a birthday cookie for Archie's birthday and a graduation cap when he finished his training, which made my heart so full.

The company's scheduling process for sessions is also seamless and allows for very easy re-scheduling. Thank you Peach on a Leash!

We had an excellent experience working with Peach on a Leash and would highly recommend them for your pup training needs! Our trainer Frankie was wonderful at working with us and our pup to target a few specific behaviors in a way that was positive, easy to understand and, importantly, sustainable for us to implement after our training program wrapped up.

After every session, she would follow up with the notes and exercises we discussed and worked through that are so helpful to refer back to. We are grateful for her guidance, and our pup will surely miss meeting with her!
