Obstacle + measurement
Approved obstacles and instrumented stations connect completion, timing and recorded output.
INDEPENDENT EVENTS / REGIONAL + NATIONAL
Bragging rights.
Backed by data.
Our 2027 events are in planning. Las Vegas is the flagship planning target. Locations, dates, competition requirements and attendance details will be published as they are confirmed.
How hard does your dog bite?
Bring the data. Not just the claim.
We are planning competitions around measured performance and handler control. Not just one strong bite. A record of the complete performance.
STANDALONE EVENT. CONNECTED ECOSYSTEM.
A regional community.
A national stage.
K1K9™ EVENTS is being developed as an independent regional and national competition platform. It connects professional K9 development, measurement, education and partner discovery without becoming a division membership program.
Regional and national competition are in planning. Qualification, direct-entry options and allocation rules will be published before a regional result can qualify a team for a national event.

PLANNED THREE-DAY PROGRAM
- 01
Verify + orient
Team check-in, equipment verification, participant briefings and partner discovery.
- 02
Compete + explain
Approved stages, visible station results, score explanations, recovery and education.
- 03
Complete + recognize
Remaining stages, result review, appeals and awards after confirmation.
Illustrative program, not a confirmed timetable. Final format depends on venue, capacity, welfare and technical approval.
PLANNED COMPETITION COMPONENTS
A course. A control test. A complete team.
Purposeful challenge, defined conditions and observable performance. Final classes, categories and stage rules will be approved before entry opens.
Command + control
Observable responses, release, recall and transitions. Reliable control, not an appearance contest.
Scenario assessment
Controlled environmental challenges, equal briefing and clearly defined completion criteria.
KESP™ engagement
Structured work with qualified Kinetic Engagement Sparring Partners™ and approved protective equipment.
Welfare is a gate. Not a bonus point.
Veterinary oversight, approved workloads, recovery and independent stop authority come before scoring. No extra physical effort simply to break a tie, and no scoring for injury.
BALANCED POINTS / SELECTED FOR PILOT EVALUATION
Speed contributes.
It does not decide alone.
The pilot model combines four component scores after mandatory welfare, eligibility, completion and essential-control checks.
- Sustained pressure
- 40%
- Time
- 25%
- Consistency
- 20%
- Control quality
- 15%
These are weights applied to component points, not raw PSI or seconds. Scoring references, measurement comparability, uncertainty, ties and final championship weighting still require approval.

OVERALL RESULTPENDING
No performance started. No measured K9 result.
See the time. Understand the score.
Planned audience monitors would show accepted measurements, timing, component points and explained deductions. Live pressure display depends on validated installed measurement and tested event-feed integration.
What makes a result credible?
Comparable equipment, documented calibration, a defined measurement window and an auditable record. Missing data is not zero, and a provisional result is not a confirmed award.
Judges remain accountable for their decisions. Material changes must be explained, and private health and contact details do not belong on public monitors.
FOUNDING-PARTNER CONVERSATIONS
Partner with
the performance.
Help shape an event where spectators can follow the result and discover the brands supporting responsible K9 development. Build a defined activation, not an undefined logo placement.
Potential partner roles span live scoring, equipment, transport, nutrition, care, video and education. Scope, visibility, category rights and reporting are agreed in writing.
Request a partner briefing ↗Opens an email draft; nothing is sent automatically. This is an inquiry, not a reservation, contract or payment.
Support the event. Never influence the result.
Sponsors do not select winners, override veterinary decisions or purchase accepted scores. Private K9 and handler records are not sponsor inventory, and no audience total or sales uplift is guaranteed.
CLEAR QUESTIONS / DIRECT ANSWERS
The ambition is clear.
The commitments must be, too.
Is Las Vegas confirmed? Can I register?
Las Vegas in March 2027 remains the planning target. Exact dates, venue, operator approvals and final authorization are unconfirmed. Registration and payments are not open.
Are entry fees and prize money announced?
No current entry fee or funded prize purse is being offered on this page. Earlier planning figures are not renewed by the October sponsor prospectus. Approved fees, funded awards, refunds and cancellation terms must be published before registration.
What is working, and what does this display show?
KAIR™ is a working measurement system, with equipment in pre-beta production for phased 2027 releases. We use the readings to support training review, not to replace the handler’s judgment. Measurements are specific to the supplied equipment, configuration and calibration; production status is not an independent accuracy or safety certification.
K1K9 reports a working KAIR™ measurement platform. This event monitor displays simulated data, not a live competition feed. Event-specific timing, audit records and outage recovery require acceptance testing before use for official scoring.
Does a regional result guarantee a national place?
No. Regional participation, ranking and qualification are distinct. Eligibility, allocation, direct-entry options and verification will need published terms before any national place can be offered.
Must I buy equipment or a subscription to compete?
There is no automatic product-purchase or division-membership requirement in the proposal. Any equipment, calibration or qualification requirement must be explicit, justified and published in the event rules.
What does winning establish?
A confirmed placing would establish a result under the event's published rules and conditions. It would not, by itself, certify a protection dog, license a handler, validate a product or guarantee real-world performance.
Who controls safety and disputed results?
The proposed framework gives qualified welfare and veterinary personnel stop authority, keeps commercial influence separate from judging and provides documented review and appeals. These arrangements must be approved and staffed before the event opens.
How can I participate or propose a regional host?
Use the inquiry choices below to start a conversation about participation, partnership or hosting. An email inquiry does not confirm eligibility, reserve a place or commit either party.
Email-draft links only. No ticketing, registration, payment or subscription is processed on this page.
