What DogBase tracks for detection and scent work teams.

Every indication logged. Every pattern visible

Log odor category, hide placement, environment type, indication behavior, and time-to-find. Drilldown Insights compare false alert rates across environments and odor concentrations — so you see exactly where reliability breaks down

Indication quality you can prove to partners and funders

Log species-specific odor, field environment, transect data, and indication quality per session. Export filtered reports by dog, handler, or date range — formatted for research partners, grant applications, and program reviews

Detection performance tracked across every environment and season

Log pest type, inspection zone, environment conditions, and detection outcome per session. Insights Compare shows detection rates side-by-side across facilities, seasons, and dogs — so you know which teams to deploy where

Structured records for every sample and every session

Log sample type, concentration level, indication behavior, and blind/known sample ratio. Health Center tracks medications, vet visits, and conditioning alongside detection data — because health shifts affect sensitivity before anyone notices

ArrowArrow

Every scene documented. Every certification current

Log accelerant type, environment conditions, indication behavior, and scene context per session. Certification dates, evaluations, and recertification schedules stored directly on the dog's profile — always audit-ready

Reliable detection records your clients can trust

Log property type, inspection zone, detection outcome, and indication quality per session. AI Training Summaries turn session data into plain-language performance documentation — ready for client reports and certification bodies

Building Reliable Detection

A false alert isn't a mystery. It's a pattern that wasn't tracked.

Detection dogs  don't fail randomly. They fail in predictable patterns — specific  environments, specific odor concentrations, specific handler behaviors,  specific distraction conditions. When a dog false-alerts, the question isn't  just 'what happened?' It's 'has this happened before, and when?' Without a  structured training record, that question is almost impossible to answer  accurately. DogBase logs every session the same way — same fields, same  structure, every time — so the pattern data builds consistently across every  handler and every training location. When a false alert occurs, the history  is there. When certification approaches, the evidence is there. When a new  handler takes over the dog, the complete record is there. Detection  reliability isn't built in one session. It's built in the data across  hundreds of them.

"Detection reliability is built in hundreds of sessions. DogBase makes sure every one of them counts."— Almog Koren, Founder & SAR K9 Handler

One platform.  Every odor. Every environment. Every team.

Why detection teams across disciplines choose DogBase.

Groups & Cross-Program Collaboration

DogBase Groups lets detection handlers from different programs collaborate in shared environments. Run joint training events, assign sessions, and track completions — every handler's data stays in their own account. Built for multi-agency exercises, certification evaluations, and cross-program coordination.

Drilldown Insights

Filter performance by environment type, odor source, hide difficulty, distraction level, or handler — and compare across any combination. See if false alerts spike in specific conditions. Drilldown Insights turns session data into answers you can act on before deployment.

What K9 professionals say about DogBase

From search and detection to service and sport — K9 professionals worldwide rely on DogBase to log faster, perform better, and stay mission-ready.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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.

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!
