About Burke


Working with agencies all over the world to enhance their K-9 Units.

The Burke Police Work Dog Academy is owned and operated by Donald Burke, who, for the last 30 years, has been a benefactor to law enforcement through his work with K-9 units throughout Canada. Mr. Burke is the President and CEO of a highly successful manufacturing business in Quebec and has used his resources of time, money and contacts in working with agencies all over the world to enhance their K-9 units.

Police dogs trained in narcotic and bomb detection.

He has personally trained police service dogs over the years and general purpose dogs in the areas of narcotic and bomb detection. In addition, he has used his personal dogs in support of police activity in police investigation, search and rescue and correctional institute control. One of his proudest achievements was the foundation of the Quebec Dog Handlers Association, which was to improve training methods and to establish standards for K-9 handlers in the province of Quebec.

Excellent bloodlines in working dogs.

Realizing that Law Enforcement has become more difficult every day, Mr. Burke knows that Law Enforcement agencies need to use every tool available to keep criminal activities in-check. Because of the 9-11 terrorist attack and more recent attempts to bomb aircraft, he decided to create the Burke Police Work Dog Academy to develop excellent bloodlines in working dogs and to provide the best available training.

K-9 for Cops.

The Burke Police Dog Academy was founded to help support smaller police K-9 units that do not have the necessary budgets to purchase and train police service dogs. To that end, Burke offers a program that can assist police agencies in the acquisition or enhancement of their K-9 units. Ask about our “K-9’s for Cops” program.
