DogBase Teams v2.0: Built for the Way K9 Units Really Work

K9 handlers, trainers, and operational teams—we heard you. DogBase Teams v2.0 is live, and this is by far our most significant platform upgrade to date.

This isn’t just a minor UI tweak or bug fix. This is a complete overhaul of how you can log, track, customize, and report your K9 data—from training and deployments to certifications and progress reports.

If you work a dog, manage a team, or run a training program—this release was built for you.

What's New in DogBase Teams v2.0? 🔥

Here’s a look at the top features we’ve packed into this major update:

✅ Custom Training Type Builder

No more one-size-fits-all training logs.

With the new Custom Training Type Builder, you can now create and define your own training types, categories, and action points. Whether you’re running HRD field scenarios, obedience drills, or advanced scent detection patterns, DogBase now adapts to your workflow—not the other way around.

Key Benefits:

  • Build training types that reflect your exact methods
  • Add custom fields, scoring, and objectives
  • Tailor logs for SAR, detection, patrol, or service dog programs


✅ New Action Tracking for Dogs and Handlers

We’ve introduced a whole new "Actions" system.

Think of actions as time-stamped, outcome-focused entries you can apply to dogs, handlers, or equipment. Track things like:

  • Behavioral corrections
  • Deployment outcomes
  • Certification milestones
  • Equipment issues

This makes it easier than ever to tell the full story of your team’s readiness and performance.


✅ Completely Revamped Reporting Engine 📊

Need to justify grant funding? Prep for an audit? Show training hours for a certification board?

You can now generate cleaner, more professional PDF reports with just a few clicks.

The new system includes:

  • Exportable summaries
  • Activity breakdowns by dog, handler, or type
  • Date range filters
  • Export CSV/Execl format (ready for supervisors or clients)

✅ Faster, Cleaner UI 🖥️

We’ve overhauled the user interface for speed and clarity.

Less clicking. Faster data entry. Better at-a-glance visibility across your entire K9 program.

Whether you’re logging data from the field on mobile or doing deep dives at your desktop, the new UI was designed to reduce friction and increase speed.

✅ Improved PDF Export

The new PDF export tool lets you create sharable, professional-looking training and deployment logs—perfect for internal records, external reporting, or handler portfolios.

This feature was one of our most requested—and now it’s here.

Why This Matters: More Time for Training, Less Time Wrestling Software 🐕

Your focus should be on the dog, not fighting with your software.

We know that whether you're running Search and Rescue deployments, Law Enforcement K9 Units, Service Dog programs, or Detection teams—documentation is a critical part of your job.

DogBase v2.0 makes sure your record-keeping works as hard as you do.

Final Thoughts: This Update Was Built From Your Feedback 👏

We want to thank the K9 handlers, trainers, and program managers who’ve sent feedback over the past year.

DogBase Teams v2.0 reflects what the working dog community needs most: flexibility, speed, better reporting, and customization.

We’re not stopping here. More powerful updates are already in the pipeline.

Train hard. Track smart. Stay operationally ready.

I am enjoying the app. It's easy to use and apt to great features, especially the weather part of it.

DogBase is one of the few K9 logs that caters specifically to Search and Rescue (SAR). I am a relatively new user, but impressed by the amount of versatility it has to offer. I've used other K9 logs in the past, but they were focused on Law Enforcement and were not as detailed for SAR work, as is DogBase. Detailed record keeping is essential if you want to learn to identify the good and the bad in your training routines and to maintain your credibility as a search team. In my opinion, DogBase does the job.

So far it's been a great app. Starting to switch completely over to it

I am so glad that I was invited to "test" this. I dreaded do my logs books and couldn't find an easy method. This platform is easy and so far all updates have made it easier and clear to fill out. I hope that we can continue to use it. I also like that I can check on more of my own team members and what training they are logging.

I have tried a lot of different ways to track my training for my Search and Recovery dogs. DOG BASE is by far the best and easiest to use. Love it!

I am loving using Dogbase! It is providing such great value in training my dogs and I plan to continue to use it for as long as I possibly can. I love the amount of information that you are able to log for each training session. Before, I was using the old school notebook method for keeping track of my training sessions. Now, with using Dogbase, I have access to SO many more variables that I wouldn't have normally thought to log before that can possibly make a difference in future training sessions.

While I am still introducing myself to the software, it has already shown its potential for replacing log books entirely for myself and others on my team. Not only is it one less item to keep track but the simplicity makes it more motivating to complete log books.

DogBase is making the administrative side of detection logs that much more efficient. I enjoy the clean and simple-to-use interface and the ability to submit logs on the go through mobile. Being able to print log reports helped to streamline my process. I like that DogBase staff are constantly working to make the program better and improve accessibility. Customer support is quick to respond and fast to problem solve and help with whatever is needed.

This App has undoubtedly made our training more efficient with clear documentation of progress. Definitely making the training more progressive instead of just repetitive. It's easy to use, relevant for the training we conduct, and the customer support is awesome.

I was tired of using Excel spreadsheets where I had to remember all the information when I was finally able to sit down and enter it. I like DogBase because I can use my phone and fill it out during training while all the information is fresh. Its easy to go down the list and fill out each part and in the end I have all the information I want to keep track of for my HR and Airscent K9.

Absolutely love this application. Such ease of use and able to track everything. Same format for all trainings and love the information added based on time and location. This will be a game changer in record keeping for SAR dogs.
