Mrs. Leung & her OESD "Lok Lok"3rd Place of Best Obedient(Large Breed) in Dog Show Extravaganza 2007
We adopted Lok Lok when he was 4 years old. Back then, we had little control over his behavior! Taking him out for a walk was stressful, because he was constantly dragging the leash and was not friendly to other dogs. He would even do dangerous things such as running out onto the streets just to chase a plastic bag! We tried another dog training place, but had no luck until we met Don at 'TK Canine Training Centre'. Ever since then, we noticed gradual improvement in his behavior. Now, Lok Lok is kind and patient, and can join dog parties off leash! Lok Lok's personality changed so much that many of my friends find it hard to believe that he's the same dog we adopted. We wouldn't have such a great time with our dog without Don's help. Don is skilled and konwledgeable about dogs and their behavior. We've learned a pleasant and positive way to train Lok Lok. At the same time, Lok Lok also really enjoys the weekly social lessons. Don is fantastic and I highly recommend him!

Fonny & her A/E "Puru"My beloved companion is Puru. In Sept 2002, we brought Puru from the pet shop to our home. He was only a few months old. Two weeks later, we brought Puru to Don to begin training. We did not imagine how Puru was exactly like a little child who understands commands and how to behave. It was very cute watching the training process. It was at this moment that I decided to enroll Puru into agility and socialization class. During this process, I noticed Puru has learned to become more loyal to me. Puru is now 7 and never stopped his training. He enjoys seeing his fellow classmates in class every Sunday. For all you dog lovers out there, I hope you will take your companions into training classes and become an obedient and loyal friend like Puru.

BoBo was born March 24.2003 and I got her when she was 3 months old. She was always good with people but she never tolerated other dogs especially if they approach her to say hello. I first brought her to TK Canine Training Centre when she was six months old and took the obedience class as well as the weekly socialization class. Within no time, BoBo's behavior changed, she responds quickly to me, never pulls on the leash anymore, and plays with other dogs with good manner. BoBo enjoys all the doggies parties year round and will continue to come to Don for years to come! Thanks Don for all your patience and help!

Erika & her Shiba "LokLok"We bought LokLok when he is 7 weeks; he was a very cute, lovely, and sweet baby in that moment. However, we found out that he became aggressive and dominant while he was growing up. We used to take him to the training course in other pet centre, but it was not useful. Not even that, his bad behaviours became worse and worse. He was chewing the furniture all the time, dragging and biting the leash while walking in the outside, escaping many times, roughing to other dogs, and even biting us very severely. I was so scared to walk with LokLok because he would bite the leash and me in order to try to escape. Fortunately, LokLok improves a lot since he was trained by Don for 2 months. Now, LokLok doesn’t chew the furniture, drag and bite the leash anymore, he is also friendlier to other dogs and us. So, walking and playing with LokLok is not stressful anymore, it becomes an enjoyable thing for me. Don is not only train LokLok well, he also corrects our miss behaviours, and teaches us how to handle some special situations and train LokLok properly. I would like to thx Don, without you LokLok will not have this huge improvement.
Thuy & her Poodle "Luly"Before starting the class, Luly was a very active and hyper dog. She would jump on everyone and play rough to the other dogs. After the training, she is now well behaved and obedient. She can off leash play gently with other dogs now and no problem to do the recall & commands without leash.

Robert Pospisil & his German Shorthaired Pointer "Fina"We have been training Fina with Don since she was 12 weeks old. Fina’s behavior and demeanor have improved by leaps and bounds ever since. We love that Don taught us to be the leader and trained without using treats. His training techniques are reliable and target the root of the problems. We would recommend Don to anyone who really wants to have a well balanced dog for their family.
Your truly,
Robert and Carol
Max is a one year old golden retriever who has been a part of our family since he was a baby. He is still our big puppy who we love to bits - everything about him is lovable and he is a great dog. The beginnings of his life with us was hard, though. He showed aggression at an early age, probably because of our other dog, who did not like him. Nothing seemed to work on improving his habits of biting, growling, and general disobedience. However, at our last hope of bringing the "good dog" out of Max, we started training him with Don. It worked almost immediately and within a couple weeks his aggressive behavior transformed into loving licks and obedience. Now, after half a year of training, he seems like a different dog - he is even starting to learn to do obstacle courses! We love Max more than ever, and honestly, don't know what we would've done without Don's help. Thank you!!
Jeremy & his Beagle "Oreo"Don:
We would like to thank you for training Oreo. When Oreo came to us, he was a puppy of 6 months and we had a lot of growing to do together! Without you, that process would have been much more difficult. He is now over a year old and he is the perfect dog - he is very happy, listens to commands, is obedient and is almost the perfect dog! Your techniques and patience in training Oreo has been invaluable and absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend anyone looking for dog training to come to you!
Thank you!

Sam & his Y/Lab "Chowder"Don has been training Chowder – and me – for almost three years now. Before Don, Chowder did not listen well and always pulled on the leash during walks. He had way too much energy! I tried other trainers, but they did little to improve his disobedient ways. After we started training with Don, Chowder’s behaviour improved almost immediately. He is still a big, enthusiastic Labrador retriever, but he actually listens and has manners now. He is much better around people and other dogs. I can even recall him at the off-leash dog park in the neighbourhood. We continue to attend socialization class once a week, and Chowder is always happy to see Don. I would recommend TK Canine Training Centre to any dog owner who needs help with their dog. Their methods really work!
