The meeting place for professional canine units
Founded in 2018 by two canine specialists from the French Gendarmerie, Cyno-Ops brings together every year dog handlers from French and international public services and armed forces for technical, scientific and operational conferences.
Police, gendarmerie, armed forces, civil protection, customs, firefighters, detection and search dog handlers: over three days, the seminar brings together K9 teams and an exhibitor village featuring manufacturers and retailers of canine equipment.
