Canine Team Certification Paperwork -  certificates issued for successfully achieving k9 certification will be provided to the participants using the certificates issued by the USPCA National Office.    

                                                                               

SCORING PROGRAMS:  Effective immediately,  you will need to contact the national secretary for a copy of the program.    Please email [email protected]  for a copy of any program that you need.  Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.   You can still upload it to the national site when completed.  Once you get a "clean" copy,  then just keep it on your desk top.  When you need to do a trial,  make a copy of that one and start fresh with the copy.   You can continue to do that safely until the 2024 versions come out.    When you are done with a trial,  please upload the completed trial paperwork on this web site under the Canine Team Certifications tab.       Thank you so much!
