Cyno-Ops is the international seminar for K9 units, designed to bring together key players in the working dog sector, from equipment manufacturers and suppliers to operational handlers, trainers, and unit leaders. The event serves as a professional hub for sharing expertise, discovering new technologies, and debating the latest trends shaping the future of canine operations.

 

A Highly Specialised Event with Global Reach

The seventh edition, held at Rochexpo Exhibition Centre in Haute-Savoie, France, drew close to 380 participants and around 30 exhibitors. While the majority of attendees were French, the event welcomed a wide international delegation, with representatives from countries including Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, among many others.

The three-day programme featured technical, scientific, and operational conference sessions, live demonstrations, and a comprehensive exhibition village showcasing the latest innovations in K9 equipment. Attendees also benefited from a variety of networking opportunities, including breakfasts, coffee breaks, and an exclusive cocktail reception, all designed to foster professional relationships and informal exchange. A private evening event, accessible by invitation only, added a convivial touch to the programme.

At the heart of Cyno-Ops lies its ultra-specialised focus. Created by dog-handling professionals for other experts in the field, the seminar stands out for the precision and relevance of its content. Each session and exhibitor interaction is designed to address the specific needs of operational teams and unit leaders, ensuring tangible value for all participants.

 

A Platform for Innovation and Collaboration

Cyno-Ops has become a leading platform where the K9 community can explore innovations, exchange field experience, and build strong professional networks. The event’s mission is to strengthen collaboration between suppliers and end-users of canine equipment, to discuss cutting-edge developments, and to enhance operational efficiency and safety across the board.

Feedback from the 2025 edition highlighted both the quality of the presentations and the high level of technical expertise represented among attendees. The show continues to respond to a genuine need within the K9 community for a focused, expert-led, and internationally recognised event dedicated entirely to working dog operations.

The next edition of Cyno-Ops will take place from 18 to 20 November 2026, once again at Rochexpo in La Roche-sur-Foron. It promises to deliver another intensive three days of learning, collaboration, and innovation, reaffirming Cyno-Ops’ position as the must-attend event for K9 professionals worldwide.
