Training doesn’t stop with experience alone. These certifications and affiliations reflect Kynovia K9’s commitment to accountability, education, and evolving alongside the dogs and people we serve.
AKC Certified Evaluator
As an AKC Certified Evaluator, Kynovia K9 is authorized to test and title dogs in multiple American Kennel Club programs. This includes Canine Good Citizen (CGC), S.T.A.R. Puppy, Trick Dog, Fit Dog, Urban CGC, and additional AKC temperament and behavior titles.
These evaluations go beyond basic obedience—assessing real-world stability, handler communication, and a dog’s ability to confidently navigate everyday environments.
GoodPup Certification

GoodPup certification emphasizes modern learning theory, effective communication, and humane training practices. This foundation supports Kynovia K9’s belief that dogs learn best through clarity, consistency, and meaningful feedback—creating confident dogs who understand the “game” they’re playing.
United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USCA)
United Schutzhund Clubs of America Member
Involvement with USCA reflects continued development in working dog sport, structure, and drive management. This experience deepens Kynovia K9’s understanding of genetics, behavior under pressure, and how to channel intensity — skills that benefit both sport and companion dogs alike.
Professional Canine Nutrition (In Progress)
