About Cobalt Canine

About Rose

Hi, my name is Rose Elliott  and I'm the proud owner of Cobalt Canine. I am originally from North Carolina and I'm 25 years old. I began training dogs because I am the kind of person who has to love their career. I have always loved animals and dog training allows me to share that feeling with the world through education and connection.

I grew up working in a horse barn where took care of and showed horses. I showed Saddlebreds and won academy nationals at 12 years old. Later on, I began working with dogs with the intent of pursuing a career in dog training. I started out at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for up to 200 dogs. 

In 2023, I attended trade school at Highland School for Dog Trainers. I graduated the Master Dog Trainer Program, which is an intensive 6 month, in-person course where I learned just about everything you can know about the canine industry under Jason Perguson, who is now the president of the IACP. I spent my time there gaining hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs and specialties.

While I was there, I met Cortney, a fellow student with his own dog training small business back in St. Jospeh, MO. I asked him if he'd like to teach me the ropes, and I spent most of last year learning how to apply my education with real clients and learning how to build my own business.

My dog's name is Nox and he's a little over a year old. He is a Lab-Heeler mix and a total crackhead, but I love him and enjoy teaching him new things. In turn, he has taught me so much and I am grateful to be able to share that with my clients.

Then, I moved to Leavenworth, Kansas to start my own dog training business. When I am not training dogs, I work part time at KC Pet Project where I help pups with ruff lives find their forever families. I am so excited to see where this journey takes me and to help as many dogs as I can.

Education: Highland K9 Master Dog Trainer

Unlike countless other trainers that learned through online courses, I received my education at Highland School for Dog Trainers through their 6-month Master Dog Trainer program. My education is what truly distinguishes me from other trainers. While other trainers have a hypothetical knowledge, I have hands on experience. While I was at Highland K9, I studied nearly all the corners of the dog training world. I personally worked with dogs from from an extensive range of disciplines.
