Before you go
Two minutes with your hands.
Most gun dogs start the season a point heavy. Body Condition Scoring, the field version, tells you where your dog is before the season decides. One email, and it opens here.

The four layers
Read. Scent. Track. Record.
One engine, one number, every surface. Weather-driven. A read, never a prediction.
The morning, read

Calibrated against a 4,000-day simulated seasonHow it works →Where the nose tops out
The KENAI Scent Engine: three channels, cited coefficients, the ceiling drawn against the nose.

Marks, the track, offline ground. Built around the dog's work, not the game's.
Your phone's track, labeled as the handler'sHow it works →The season, kept
Every logged day becomes the dog's story and next season's plan. A record you could hand a judge.
51 judged categories, verified against the rulebooksThe map · LiDAR · KENAI Pro
See the ground under the trees.
Summer canopy hides the drainages, benches, and old roads that a covey and a dog both use. The LiDAR layer strips the trees away and shows the bare earth.
SatelliteLiDAR
Drag to compare. The same square in the Missouri Ozarks, about a mile across. USGS imagery and USGS 3DEP bare-earth elevation, the data the map draws, where LiDAR has been flown.
The field map
The ground, before you walk it.
This is the map that rides in the app, live. Terrain at true scale, the KENAI Field style. Drag it, tilt it, look around.
Drag to move. Click the map, then scroll to zoom. On a phone, use two fingers.
The plan map · KENAI Pro
Draw the play. Walk it at first light.
Plan the hunt the night before, on real ground. Mark the truck, draw the walk in, set your marks. It is on your field map in the morning.
The truck
Where the day starts, and the way back.
The walk in
Draw the route up the draw. The map measures it.
The marks
Where you leave the trail, where you turn the dog loose, the cover you want to work.

Straight answers
What handlers ask.
Is it out?
Yes. KENAI is on the App Store for iPhone in the United States and Canada. Free for two dogs.
What is THE KENAI INDEX?
Conditions for working a dog, 0 to 10. Weather-driven, a read, never a prediction. One engine, calibrated against a 4,000-day simulated season. Moon phase is deliberately left out.
Does it predict where the birds are?
No. It reads the morning for the dog's work. Where you go is yours.
Whose track is it?
The handler's phone. Every distance and climb is labeled as yours, never the dog's.
What is free?
Two dogs, the Index, the read, the field map, the record, and TEST & TITLE. Pro adds the scent engine, the plan map, offline packs, unlimited dogs, and KENAI Coach.
Does it work offline?
The map does, with saved packs. The record queues and syncs when you are back in signal.
Android?
iPhone first. Android is next. Leave your email at the bottom of this page and we will write the day it opens.
Android, and the news

The operation
Run the whole operation from one record.
The yard, the litters, the clients, the calendar, the money, and the page the public sees. Built with working kennels, for working kennels, by people who had to ask what the job actually looks like.
What is inside
Six rooms. Every one a dated record.
Nothing projected, nothing guessed. A kennel runs on who called, which dog is on the string, what is owed, and what is due in the whelping box. The desk holds all of it.
Today
The follow-ups due, the day as planned, the dogs on the string, the money owed, and the litter watch. Open it with the coffee.
The morning read, for the kennelLeads
Every inquiry from first message to deposit, with your notes on each one. The pipeline that used to live in your texts.
Nothing lost in a threadClients
A room for every client dog: the training record, the plan, the owner reports, the go-home packet. The owner sees the work, not a text at 9 pm.
Owner reports, from the recordThe schedule
Board-and-train days, lessons, heat dates, whelp dates, go-home days, on one calendar the record keeps for you.
The year, on one pageMoney
Deposits, invoices, and what is still owed, drafted by you and approved by you. KENAI never touches the money. Your clients pay you.
Owed, paid, and due at a glanceBreeding
Sires and dams, cycles, clearances, whelp records, the waitlist, pick order, and contracts signed with a finger on the screen.
From the pedigree to the go-homePhone and web
In the truck and at the desk.
The app runs the day in the field. THE KENNEL OFFICE at my.kenaigundog.com runs the desk on a real screen. Same record, same login, nothing to sync.
- In the truckLog the session, mark the dog, take the owner report photo, all from the yard.
- At the deskWork the leads, draft the invoices, enter the litter, print the contract, with a keyboard and a big screen.
- One recordWhat you type at the desk is on your phone before you reach the kennel door.
The front door
Your kennel page works while you sleep.
A public page for the kennel: the dogs, the titles, the litters planned, how to reach you. Every inquiry it takes lands on your desk with the date on it. Listed in the KENAI kennel directory, where handlers go looking for a breeder who keeps the record.
The listing is free. Kennel Pro runs the operation behind it.What it replaces
The notebook, the spreadsheet, the texts, and the software built for boarding.
Heat dates and whelp notes in a truck console. Now a record you can search.
The waitlist and the deposits, in a file only one person can open.
Owner updates and inquiries scattered across a hundred threads.
Kennel software runs $79 to $179 a month and was built for daycare, not for a litter on the ground and a dog on the string.
No processing, no cut, no holding your deposits. You draft the invoice, your client pays you the way they always have, you mark it paid. The record is ours to keep straight; the money was never ours to touch.
Kennel Pro

Kennel Pro is everything in KENAI Pro plus THE OPERATION, the office on the web, and the public page. One kennel, every dog in it, every client behind it.

Straight answers
What kennels ask first.
Does KENAI take a cut of my deposits or my training fees?
No. KENAI never processes a payment and never holds your money. You invoice from the record, your client pays you directly, you mark it paid.
Do I need the phone or the computer?
Either, and usually both. The app runs the yard and the field. The office at my.kenaigundog.com runs the desk. One login, one record.
What do my clients see?
What you choose to send them: owner reports built from the dog's record, the go-home packet, and the contract they signed. Never your pipeline, never your other clients.
I already have dogs, litters, and clients. How much typing is this?
Start with what is live: the dogs on the string this week and the next litter. The record grows from the day you start it; nothing has to be backfilled to be useful.
What if I stop?
The record is yours. Export it whole, any time, and the hunts and training you logged stay with you.
Built with working kennels. Run yours on it.
The operation you already run, finally in one place, with the record to prove it.
