Silvanus Koh is a confident man who radiates authority and his voice booms across Coffee Bean in greeting. His ease and friendliness hint at a man at the top of his game. Leaning back on
red plush seat with smoking hot coffee, Words flow easily between us.



The founder of Merlion K-9 is one of the top dog trainers in the region. Experience, client
list and results prove it. Silvanus criss crosses Asia to help clients and organizations
train their canines in obedience, detection and protection. With a profound
understanding of canis lupis familiaris, a creature he calls an opportunistic predator,
he knows that they require a firm hand of a different kind.

IT was not all play and no work for the dogs from the police dog unit (K9) during the recent launch of a new badge design for the unit.

Police Principal assistant director of the Technical Aids Division Asst Comm Dev Kumar said police dogs normally underwent four months of training under the supervision of dog handlers before they were ready for official duty.
