About Us
Dogs have been close friends of human for thousands of years. However, with limited understanding about the differences in species, nature, and behaviour of humans and dogs, people often overlook the tolerance in the communication process and create lots of misunderstandings about dogs. Without professional support and appropriate methods to resolve the problems, the misuse of punishments can just exacerbate the problem. In extreme cases, some would sadly choose to abandon their dogs.
Dogking and DOGhill Training Center aims to provide education to owners. Owners will learn about the nature, needs and behaviour of dogs, with regular and systematic training (learn to relax; relax to learn) they can establish a mutual trust, harmony, love, and comfortable relationship.
Dog King
Founder of DOGhill BEHAVIOUR TRAINING CENTRE
Positive Behaviour Dog Trainer
I love animals since I was a child, and have more than 35 years of experience in raising dogs. I am convinced that by using the right method, every dog owner can not only be a friend of his/her dogs, but also their best idols. Since 2017, I have been involved in positive behaviour training for dogs. I have helped dog owners, as well as dogs with misbehaviours. I volunteer to train dogs in various animal shelters and educate the staffs about the importance of positive behaviour training. From time to time, I am invited by the secondary schools to share my experience and promote the concept of positive behaviour training. To date, I have successfully saved more than 500 dog owners and their dogs, established a harmonious and trusting relationship between them.

Success Stories
Bon Bon
'Dog King' Michael helped us train our newly arrived 16 week old black Labradoodle puppy. We took out a 5 session training package. We were very impressed with Dog King right from the start. During his first lesson with us in our home, it was amazing to see our dog, Bonbon, listen to Michael's commands and learn how to 'sit', ‘look’and 'down' immediately. Dog King made it look so easy with his 'positive dog training' philosophy, which made a lot of sense to us. We look forward to learning more from Dog King as Bonbon becomes a member of our family. We highly recommend Dog King. - a true dog whisperer!
Gma
我們全家的寶貝小毛柴是在種種的機緣巧合之下接回來的。那時他只是兩個月大，但已成為全家最頑皮、最固執、最難搞但又最可愛的一員。Gma 小時候開始，就已經會特別緊張，特別興奮。 平時在家不一定會回應呼喚，外出會扯繩，見狗就會吠，到一歲多做完絕育手術，情況再更壞更嚴重，牠成為全屋苑最吵耳的毛柴。嘗試過用P 帶，試過跟網上影片訓練，但是就因為Gma 性格比較倔強，越兇牠就越會反抗，然後，因為已經控制不到情況及開始對其他狗有攻擊性 就找上了Michael老師。由第一堂到現在第十二堂了，Michael 老師的正向教育真的幫了我很多。雖然真的要不斷重覆練習，更有會洩氣的時候，但這不打不罵的方法令我頑固的小毛柴更聽話、更冷靜、更喜歡我。 不用P 帶的訓練，外出會圍住我身邊打轉。面對其他狗隻更容易快速冷靜下來。牠的眼睛外出會看着我，也多了開心的笑容，少了緊張的情緒。我現在真的明白毛孩絕不會教不好，就是要看主人有多努力及願意去付出心機、耐性去學習，以及了解牠們。這就是我們對毛孩們應有的愛錫。 我曾經有疑問及猶豫對尋找dog trainer 的必要性。 亦曾覺得我自以為是的方法及對牠愛錫牠是知道的。但當Michael 老師分析及解釋我們之間的互動後，我發現原來我錯了！老師一再強調當找對了方法，並不斷重複練習以及正面的鼓勵，這種好的改變就不再是空想。各位毛孩主人都要加油啊！
豬豬和毛毛
13年前第一次養寵物，是一對富貴品種狗狗：豬豬和毛毛。他們從未接受過任何培訓，每朝起床就周圍小便，可多達八至十處，小便霸地盤已是他們的習慣。年前，我又養多了一隻銀狐：仔仔。為了避免豬豬和毛毛的問題再次發生，所以就帶了牠去培訓，結果仔仔非常聽話、乖巧！到四年前，我又收養一隻曾被人虐打的銀狐：小白。小白因為太活躍，在我領養之前已經被五個主人虐打過，心靈已有陰影，非常難相處，更曾有攻擊人的情況出現。幸好經過Dog King的培訓，開放了內心，也開始信任人，現已成為一隻聰明可愛的小白狗！
有見及此，我決定把已13歳的「老頑固」豬豬也接受再培訓，因為豬豬每天都會在廳中隨處大小便，令人非常懊惱，結果訓練了一段時間，終於戒掉壞習慣，客廳難聞的氣味也終於消失。
這次經歷，實在令我意外，一直以為13歲的狗狗冇得改，想不到經訓練後，反而更加聴話。我覺得狗狗與小孩一樣，需要教導和培養，我們也要付出愛心，才能一起生活！
Rocky
Rocky was a shy, playful, and super stubborn French bulldog puppy when we first had him 2 years ago. He wasn't leash or toilet trained when he arrived. Michael introduced us to positive reinforcement training and it opened our eyes, we realized what we were doing to Rocky was completely wrong. Due to the birth of my son, we had to stop the training halfway through.
Six months ago, Rocky underwent both ACL/knees surgery, he then became very protective and intimated to strangers. So we conducted 2nd training sessions with Michael, this time we managed to spend more time addressing the fundamentals such as sit, watch, down, wait, etc. Rocky is now much happy and relaxed around the house. I would highly recommend Michael and Dog King!
KaKa
KaKa has been with us for 6.5 years since we adopted him when he was 5 months old.KaKa has been having social problem for a long time. He is quiet and lethargic, yet sensitive and scared of anyone other than my close family members.As my family needs to migrate to Australia, we were very worried about Kaka not being able to cope with all the changes as well as the 10 hours flight at the cargo cabin on his own, followed by a 10-day quarantine in the Animal Quarantine Centre by English-speaking "strangers". Therefore, we decided to seek help from professional dog trainer.Michael is a big advocate of positive behavioural adjustment, in a way requiring the pet owners to learn and understand the causes and reasons of the problems before trying to rectify and train their pet. Michael is very knowledgeable, experienced and passionate. He taught us how to comfort our dog, how to ease his tension, and eventually how to earn his trust. Michael also taught us the correct ways of interacting with KaKa.Kaka has improved gradually (and is still improving). He is becoming more calm and friendly, and had comprehended a few simple signs of instruction. We must thank Michael for enlightening us and bringing us to the right track, so that KaKa can adapt to the new environment more smoothly.I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone whose pets need help on behavioural adjustment and training.
傻強
領養前已得知傻強是一隻容易緊張、有行為問題的哥基；咬人、護物、護食、搶繩等。我們帶牠回家數日後已安排了一位用正向訓練的犬隻訓練師，可惜訓練過程並不如我們所想。最深刻的是老師教我們用鼓棍去警告傻強，而傻強會怕得跳上我身不停顫抖。有日在南豐紗廠放狗時認識了Michael Sir，留意到他的狗狗很安靜和放鬆；攀談後得知他的教學理念及方法，並師從台灣動物行為治療師戴更基，所以我們決定嘗試上課。首兩堂已經感受到兩者之間正向訓練的分別；最明顯是傻強願意並開心地學習。Michael Sir主要會解釋訓練背後理念、原理，繼續示範訓練，再教導主人技巧去訓練傻強。持續訓練下傻強有明顯改善，洗澡、戴口罩及剪指甲仍需加強，但整體比以前放鬆平靜，咬人問題大大減少。多謝Michael Sir耐心的教導!
丁丁
從小就十分容易緊張，事無大小都會緊張到震。不論食嘢，去街，有朋友到訪，佢都會不停震或者吠叫。由於我們要移民，有一段時間需要找人暫時照顧丁丁直至有飛機檔期，哈哈，巧遇Dog King。那段時間，Michael 給丁丁一些正向訓練，當我們再次見返丁丁時，佢明顯有自信咗好多，明顯冷靜咗好多，震少咗好多。到達新環境後，起初時都会因為有新嘅門鐘聲，車房閂門開關嘅聲音，送貨到門前嘅聲音或者見到我哋離開家而吠叫，我們開始用Michael嘅方法去訓練丁丁。畢竟我們都是新手，係要多少少時間去練習，但丁丁好快就明白新環境都好安全，唔使嘥氣吠咁多！適應新環境后，心情仲大靚，肥咗又靚咗！雖然丁丁已經十三四歲但仍然很輕易學習到，當然對狗狗的行為問題我們是要有耐性重複練習，但最重要還是要有啱嘅方法。多謝Michael，除咗給丁丁那段時間嘅照顧，仲有一啲令我哋同丁丁開心相處嘅方法！
OO
「真」正向訓練
市面上有很多狗隻訓練都標榜自己係採用正向訓練、人人都話自己係正向訓練、唔通人人都教正向訓練咩？OO的第一個Dog Trainer、當要解決難纏的問題時教我使用「工具」、「權力」去應對解決、 要OO在沒有選擇的情況下屈服。坦白說、這是非常快捷的方法、可是這並不是我樂見的。
Michael 是OO的第二個Dog Trainer, 他是一位很有耐性、觀察力強、有豐富經驗、能清楚解釋並精準地指出要糾正的錯誤、回應迅速、很用心的 Dog Trainer。我尤其喜歡他鼓勵家長們拍片讓他清楚知道毛孩的學習進度、並從中糾正。
他教曉了我真正的正向訓練、這些訓練不單單是訓練毛孩、也是訓練家長們的耐力、恆心、一致性、包容😆，這一切正代表着我們對毛孩的愛。當然、我也有氣餒的時候、那時候會問自己當初為何要選擇正向訓練而非傳統的「權勢」訓練、然後重新出發。現正好是新一年、大家加油！
Lovely
多謝 Michael sir，宜家去街識得開心笑了～從前的我怕人怕出街怕生保，多得每次 Michael sir加強了主人和我既信心，令我這段時間學習到，原來我每次做到主人想我做既事，都會得到關注同獎勵，我宜家出街好拉風，好多人想同我玩，因為我有自信，同埋識笑，幸福到變左個肥妹仔啦，我會繼續不望所托，繼續乖乖地，做一個幸福既肥妹😜
Max
Michael was absolutely incredible with our 1.5yr old Staffy, Max. From the very first lesson we saw noticeable improvements with Max's focus and recall. It was also a great refresher for us to understand how to bond and communicate with our dog. Michael use very understandable training techniques (for both the dog and humans) and left us with the practical skills and knowledge we needed to continue training Max. I can highly recommend Dog King to anyone looking for an excellent training experience with guaranteed results.
Sogo Simba
好評!
我地本身係第一次養狗，所以對養狗嘅認知係好大眾，比如做錯要罰呀，要樹立人係狗嘅大佬呢啲唸法之類。
一次機緣巧合認識到dog king , 去聽佢地嘅講座。首先佢哋嘅理論令我哋好認同，狗狗係我地嘅親人，我地要用正向令佢生活得幸福快樂。所以我地都開始了解一下有關於正向教狗嘅方法。
後來，我哋決定領養多一隻狗場唔要嘅狗狗Sogo。
起初Sogo嚟到我地屋企同simba完全相處唔到，我地好難過又好內疚令到simba本來安樂嘅環境變得好繃緊。但我地又唔忍心要Sogo re-home。
最後我地落實搵dog king幫狗狗做training。
我真心覺得佢地真係對狗狗好好，教一識我地，唔係佢地做錯去罰佢地，係盡量令到佢地唔好做錯等佢地做個開心快樂嘅狗狗。
而且，佢仲督促我哋時刻要幫狗狗做好鞏固訓練，令到佢地逐漸形成反射動作。dog king 會好仔細咁指出我地係邊一瞬間就要讚佢地，等佢地有愉悅感。So far , 上完晒堂，2隻狗狗以家都相處好融洽，而且感受到佢地之間唔可以無咗彼此。
我再一次衷心感謝dog king, 希望佢哋可以攪多啲講座同埋攪下啲活動，可以比我地參加。
紅豆
我哋之前養嘅狗仔蕃薯離開我哋兩年後機緣巧合下我哋又下決心做狗主了, 我哋嘅新成員係一隻唐狗女叫紅豆。
兩年的想念反省有感自己可以做跟以往不同的狗主人, 關心毛孩的內心世界多一點, 希望毛孩可以成為care free happy dog為目標, 所以我哋選擇了正向訓練. (老實講之前覺得如果唔work要用返軍訓式訓練其實隨時都可以開始所以why not試下新嘅睇下得唔得先?!) 就係咁正。向之旅係半信半疑下開始了。
係youtube睇片學得到?! 淨係唔say no就得?!
狗仔唔夠兩個月大就黎到我地屋企, 牠的能量之高行為之不解令我哋頭都大埋, 望住狗仔似懂非懂就算跟足youtube片做, 狗仔行為上都得唔到好大改善. 因此我哋覺得需要搵專門的老師。幫手希望係狗仔體型變大之前我哋可以好好’控制’(可能當時真係咁諗,但現在發現不是該回事。😂) 糊里糊塗下找到了dog king的Micheal老師。
真得4堂就攪得掂?!
我哋選擇咗4堂請老師到屋企幫狗狗做訓練, 第一堂老師嚟到幫我哋安排過狗狗用品嘅位置, 教咗狗仔同我哋頭兩個cue ‘sit’ 同 ‘down’, 就咁就完咗第一堂, 狗仔係第一堂之後嘅兩日都冷靜咗好多, 第三日開始得返8成效果, 我好緊張一有問題就一大堆message老師問東問西, 老師都係再次鼓勵我哋做好基本練習會有改善, 但我哋真係想像唔到淨係sit同down究竟點樣令狗仔解決行為問題, 而且只係得4堂…XD 但係選擇咗老師幫手當然要信到底, 再者見到狗仔係老師在場時嘅表現令我確信狗仔學習能力係無問題, 反而擔心我哋兩個主人嘅學習同實行能力有問題多啲。
受寵若驚的主人
基本上老師好需要主人們主動交練習影片同問問題去keep up狗仔同主人們嘅學習進度, 自問自己唔係不停交片的主人, 成日想練好啲先交或者係就上下堂前先交(千祈唔好學XD) 但有次好深刻嘅經歷係我係狗仔嘅instagram account upload咗關於狗仔情況嘅post(內容大致係狗仔電量之高放足一晚都攪唔掂主人心力交瘁之類XD) 老師咁啱睇到之後竟然主動whatsapp教我可以點處理同鼓勵我, 當下真係好感動, 因為好多時見到狗仔做唔到你心想咁就成日驚自己有無教錯又會懷疑正向訓練其實work唔work, 老師嘅鼓勵正好比咗繼續試下嘅動力我哋繼續加油落去。
正向訓練的生活態度: 觀察 了解 磨合
狗仔開始上堂時係大約10個星期, 而家已經6個月就快7個月大. 佢而家有時都會有不同嘅’唔好’行為發生例如咬爛自己張床, 咬屋企嘅傢俬, 係街牽繩唔係成日都得心應手, 之前見到咁我會好驚, 驚自己教錯覺得自己唔夠好, 覺得狗仔好難教整極都唔明但上完堂之後嘅我都學到咗狗仔行為反映佢嘅內心世界, 正向訓練唔係為咗練隻狗而係為咗狗仔可以好好融入人類生活, 唔係主人就晒隻狗亦都唔係隻狗就晒主人, 所以而家見到狗仔嘅古怪行為我都會觀察下佢身邊發生咩事, 回想下佢嘅經歷, 做好環境管理盡量比個stress free嘅環境佢學習, 我仲學到樣嘢就係其實我哋身邊好多事其實唔值得我地咁嬲架, 好多事其實都係no big deal咬爛嘢姐, 佢地天性要得到滿足, 又鬧又打不如做多啲環境豐富化先啦。
ps1 無唔乖嘅狗只有唔了解狗嘅主人, 繼續努力練習EQ XD
ps2 主人見到正向訓練嘅過程同成果所以多咗興趣想了解狗狗行為
後記
最後我哋主人同狗仔都好開心地試過係屋企, 老師嘅工作室同埋街上面上堂, 學到唔同嘅cue
但其實只係正向訓練嘅開始, 因為就我上面咁講正向訓練其實係生活一部份, 之後都好需要我
哋繼續強化學到嘅行為. 亦因為正向訓練嘅成果唔係軍訓式教狗咁快見到效果, 有老師係旁邊
幫手睇住效果會比較明顯同埋你會有多啲信心去試. 總括來講我哋好開心遇到老師同埋好多
謝老師嘅幫助, 狗主們係正向訓練路上一齊加油, We both are not perfect 同狗狗一齊生活花咗時間同努力狗狗情況會改善的, 共勉之!
