Dr. Elena Pezzini founded the You Got The Power Foundation in 2010 and serves as its NonProfit Manager. She holds a PhD in Psychology and is an ICF Professional Certified Coach. Her work with the foundation rests on a simple conviction: the relationship between a person and their animal shapes the wellbeing of both, and most of the friction in it comes down to communication. Through the Dog Lovers program, she brings owners, veterinarians, and trainers into the same conversation. She is a certified animal assisted interventionist and the author of Dog's Lovers, published in English and Italian. She works alongside a veterinary Board of Directors and an international advisory network spanning four continents. Her commitment to volunteer service began with the Italian Red Cross and has continued across two countries ever since.
