ELLIOT ROSENBERG

Founder and CEO of K9 Mania

As a victim of theft and assault, Elliot Rosenberg knows the value of security and protection better than anyone else. Elliot was a business owner living in Costa Rica, and on one fateful night, with his hands tied behind his back and a gun pointed to his head, Elliot’s life would change forever.

From uneasy strolls to the neighborhood to the paranoia of hearing sudden noises in his home in the middle of the night, Elliot’s once peaceful life had transformed into a constant state of fear and anxiety. Desperate for a solution, Elliot turned to more conventional measures, such as owning a firearm and security cameras, but he knew he needed more.

There, Elliot found protection dogs. Since then, Elliot has never felt safer. He is now calmer, less anxious, and more confident. Not only did he gain a protection dog that would step up in his time of need, but he also gained a loyal friend whom he could enjoy life with. From this experience, Elliot understood that the sense of security and peace that came with a protection dog was something he wanted to share with others.

Seeing how unsafe and dangerous the world is, he understood the need for protection and made it his goal to train dogs to canine perfection. This is how K9 Mania Protection Dogs started.

Now, as the CEO and Founder of K9 Mania Protection Dogs, Elliot’s mission is to bring protectors and loyal companions into your homes, ensuring both security and a bond of a lifetime.
