S​ay hi to Elaine! She’s been West Bloomfield Parks’ professional dog trainer for two years. Elaine moved to Michigan from Hong Kong in 2004, and began working with dogs at the West Bloomfield Pet Smart. After ten years working there, she opened her own dog training business (Good Choices) and came to West Bloomfield Parks to share her expertise. Elaine really enjoys helping each family and pet learn more about one another and watching them both grow. During her classes, she also encourages children to be involved in the training with their parents as much as possible. When she’s not teaching at WB Parks, Elaine spends the rest of her day surrounded by more dogs: at home (she has two), dog play-dates, pet photography trips and local dog shows!

Favorite Class Memory:
"The day I graduated students from my "Dog Tricks with Kids" class —  I had each of the kids perform a mini-routine with all the tricks that they had learned, and it was so impressive and FUN! Everyone was watching each other and laughing, and at the end, I gave out prizes and thanked the parents and kids for making that class one of my favorite and most memorable ones!"

Fun Fact:
She writes upside down, almost all of the time!
