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

                                                                               

**Please do not use newer Apple computers for the scoring programs.  Some newer Apple computers use "numbers" instead of excel.   Numbers doesn't have the ability to do formulas that excel has,  so unfortunately,  when you use Numbers instead of excel,  it will not always work right.    There is a link listed below if you are new to the programs and would like to watch an instruction video.  

 Also note:   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!
