About Us

Elaine Bartolome founded BoardWalk Dog Training with a simple mission: helping dogs and their humans live happier lives together.

With a calm, patient approach, Elaine focuses on building trust, communication, and structure so dogs understand what is expected of them. Her training style is practical, supportive, and tailored to each individual dog and family.

Elaine works with dogs of all ages—from young puppies just beginning their journey to older dogs needing structure or behavioral support.

Her goal is not just to train dogs, but to teach owners how to confidently lead and communicate with their dogs for life.

Every dog is unique, and Elaine believes that successful training comes from understanding each dog's temperament, energy, and learning style.
